The Big Ten had a huge opportunity wasted this afternoon. It would have been quite the statement to match the Big East from 1986 with 3 teams in the Final Four. Instead, UConn and Kentucky make their way to Dallas.Michelle Lilienthal keeps her lead, but barely. Kyle Wood moves into the #2 spot with 2 Final Four teams correct.18 people had 2 Final Fours. The average of 0.92 was down slightly from the historical average of 1.30.In terms of scenario analysis, we are down to 8 final scenarios. Within those 8 scenarios, we have 4 potential winners. Noisy Jim Clelland (PSU T & F Distance) owns 3 of the scenarios, Scott Munro (PSU T & F Distance) owns 3. And both Michelle Lilienthal (T & F at Wisconsin) and Hank Oppenheimer (PSU Field Events) own 1 scenario each. See the Scenario tab to see where you will finish.Go Big Ten and the Bucky team. Would be great to see Bo Ryan win 2 more games.Enjoy the Final Four!Coop

Is That "Noisy" Jim I Hear Coming?
As the NCAA Tournament rolls on, the number of winning scenarios has dwindled to just a few in Ken Cooper's Bracket challenge. Three of those scenarios are owned by our very own Jim "Noisy" Clelland and 3 more by Scott Munro, another PSU distance runner. Co-blogger Matt Groves slipped to 3rd representing the brain trust that is the Idiot Officers of our group. But he has nowhere to hide, just like my dog, Spott Moskowitz, who slinks away in shame.
