AGM Spring Silliness Open Thread Part II

Here we go!!! After watching that Western Kentucky/Drake game, I am really getting excited. Right now UMBC/Georgetown, South Alabama/Butler, and the Austin Peay/Texas games are on. So....Blog away!!!

[edit] Early game finals:

2 Tennessee over 15 American 72-57

10 Davidson over 7 Gonzaga 82-76

7 Miami (FL) over 10 St. Mary's 78-64

12 Western Kentucky over 5 Drake 101-99 in OT- WKY beat the buzzer with a long range three to win the game. It was AWESOME!!!

Update from SSR: Here is the link to the video of that dramatic Drake game with Tim Brando and Mike Gminski on the call....why did Gus Johnson have to be in Denver?

you guys at AGM did an absoultely bangup job on this spring sillniess app. its awesome!

the only way to improve it would be to have a shit talking section on the same screen that shows everyone's scores.

also - it would be cool to post the top 10 picks throughout the tournament somewhere. so, if you're winning your pool you could see how you're doing compared to everyone else who's winning their spring silliness pool.

Good news, all of the games I lost (St. Mary's, Drake, Gonzaga), were all going to be eliminated in the 2nd round anyway.....so it busts my bracket but doesn't kill it.

Early games rarely impact most pools...its all about keeping your 16 (8 and then 4) intact...if you can keep most of your 16 and all of your 8 (and/or prevent others from doing it a la the SD-WKY game) you should do pretty well...
