After last night’s 16 games, things got bloody! The Male Half incorrectly called four games– He failed to foresee ‘Nova beating Clemson and he had Vandy beating Sienna. And he erroneously figured that Drake and UConn would easily advance. He’s still 29 out of 33.
The Female Half also called the UConn, Vandy and ‘Nova matchups wrong and misplaced her faith in the Hoosiers, Miami and local faves St. Joe’s. And who can blame her for picking Gonzaga to advance?
We hasten to emphasize that the reason she’s getting hammered in the office pool is not because she’s a chick. (Her choices– most of them– are based on knowledge of NCAA tourney history that would put most penis-bearing creatures to shame!). And is is interesting to note that her Final Four consists of Memphis, North Carolina, UCLA and Kansas– a scenario that is just as plausible as any!
Postscript: So far today, The Male Half is 1-0, having correctly predicted Duke’s elimination at the hands of WVU. “A lucky guess,” says he. “Somebody big’s gotta get upset here and there.” He may be brought back down to earth quickly, as Xavier is getting its ass kicked in the first minutes of their contest with Purdue.
