The 2nd round of the NCAA tournament has come and gone, as has our beloved Pitt, but the battle for supremacy here in the “Challenge” rages on.
Movers and Shakers: Uncle Crappy, with a round 2 high of 24 points, pulls into the lead. Scott, Lynsie, and prohibitive favorite, Andrew Stockey put up 22 of their own in the round.
Misc. Facts The five entries from Sportsocracy combined to drop an average of 8+ in rank. We’re collectively super awesome. The only person with an absolute 100% perfect region up to now is Rachel Sager, who’s West is flawless. Unfortunately, her other three are not. Six people in the top 20: Mike, Justin, Jim Lokay, Locobone, Pat, and Woy all still have their complete Final Four picks intact. Sorg and Rachel are bringing up the rear, but with the right wins, can both pass up LB.
