2006 Alta Partners Tournament

Men's College Basketball Championship

TOURNAMENT NEWS

Can you say... DUDERINO! - Wow, sitting pretty in first place after two rounds of NCAA action, is Don Katze, a grad school buddy of Dan's, who picked both of our "bonus point" upsets, Bradley and Northwestern St. - Great job Duderino! - but you let Pittsburgh into your Final 4?? - damn Pittsburgh people win a Superbowl and they think they can win anything!

Dave Lowe, you've done well, nabbed a bonus pick, but your 15 minutes of fame is just about up! Shannon Ritchie and Kevin Royle, however, are sitting pretty!, with their Final Four's still intact and good consensus pick winners, Duke and UConn, respectively.

Congrats also to Matt Rocco, DOO!, and Dalton for getting 75% of the picks correct so far! John Blackburn, Carl Ebnar, Mike M., Rick Byrnes, Nancy, Don Lydon, - all have fallen over 40 spots! But let me make you feel better, Bill Kose dropped 45 slots down and picked OSU to win it all! Oy veh!

Drop an email if you like, looking forward to play this weekend!
