By Robert H. KellyDay 2 of the first round was a bit better for my predictions. I picked 12 correct while only missing four. That gives me a 23-9 record with a winning percentage of 71.875.
Here are my picks and how they went. First the correct selections.
Florida wins 112-69 over Jackson State
Purdue wins 72-63 over Arizona
Oregon wins 58-56 over Miami (Ohio)
Wisconsin wins 76-63 over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi
Kansas wins 107-67 over Niagara
Kentucky wins 67-58 over Villanova
Texas wins 79-67 over New Mexico State
Southern California wins 77-60 over Arkansas
Tennessee wins 121-86 Long Beach State
Virginia wins 84-57 over Albany
Nevada wins 77-71 over Creighton
Memphis wins 73-58 over North Texas
My incorrect predictions were:
Illinois loses 54-52 to Virginia Tech
(A two point loss. It could happen to everyone.)
Holy Cross loses 61-51 to Southern Illinois
(What can I say. I just missed this one.)
Georgia Tech loses to UNLV 67-63
(I was in Las Vegas when the tournament seeds were announced and UNLV was upset over their seed. I figured they would not regain their composure and lose. I was wrong.)
Notre Dame loses to Winthrop 74-64
(Possibly the biggest upset of the first round.)
Day 2: 12-4
Overall: 23-9
My picks for the second round will be up soon.
