First Day Updates!

Sad Kentucky fans have the best reactions. 

 The opening day of March Madness, which should be recognized as a federal holiday, is in the books! And man, what an opening day that lasted well beyond my bed time. 

Housekeeping: I am still updating the spreadsheet. We are trying to add some fun projection stuff in addition to some clean up. If you other excel nerds have any recommendations, we love of a challenge. Let's see if we can break Google! You can see the spreadsheet here:

SPREADSHEET

For the positives, Teddy Allen from NMSU lead the nation in scoring last night. I had multi-screen action going and every time I glanced at that game, it felt like he was shooting a FT. 3 entrants went with NMSU as their 12 seed. Conversely, 28 of our 44 entrants selected Trayce Jackson-Davis of Indiana as their 12 seed. Jackson-Davis disappointed with a mere 12 points. This is a pretty big edge for anyone picking Allen. 

Tyler Burton of Richmond, another 12 seed, chipped in 18, which made 3 people happy here. His direct opponent, Iowa's Keegan Murray, was kind enough to drop 21 points before bowing out. A whopping 32 entrants saw their 5 seed go down in flames with the Hawkeyes. With UConn taking out 2 more entries in their loss, we're down to 10 entries left with their 5 seed.

Possibly the most damaging loss goes to the 24 folks who lost their 2 seed with Kentucky. At least Kentucky's Oscar Tshiebwe was productive with his 30 points. Only one entrant selected Ste. Peter's Peacock Darryl Banks III and his 27 points.

Our current PPG leader is Always Be Closing II with 21.7 ppg. However, his entry lost 4 of 6 players last night including his 2, 5, and 6 seeds.  

Our first day leader is Plot, who took advantage of the rules like Ser Bron. Congrats on getting your entry fee back.
