Day 1 Standings


Well, a very stressful Day 1 of the 2010 NCAA Basketball tournament is FINALLY over. In a day that saw 7 upsets... yes, 7!... it was a tight and frustrating battle for everyone. Beth and Lindsey lost one of their Final Four selections, a few lost an Elite 8 selection in Georgetown - which, if I may say, WHAT THE F?! - and we saw a lot of Final Four teams struggle.

If I can speak for everyone, I'm glad today is over!

Also, a random tidbit. Last year there were only two overtime games in the entire tournament. Today alone... there were three. Talk about stressful...

But tomorrow is a new day! Another 16 games tomorrow... but until then, let's celebrate the leader of Day 1 and his achievements. HOLLA 'ATCHA BOY!!! (See picture above...)

1- Bradley Young - 14 points
T2- Teresa Matters - 12 points
T2- Robert Young - 12 points
T2- Melissa Young - 12 points
T5- Beth Bird - 11 points
T5- Eric Young - 11 points
T7- Jeremy Bird - 10 points
T7- Nathaniel Abbott - 10 points
T7- Lindsey Abbott - 10 points
T7- Jacob Young - 10 points
T11- Allison Young - 9 points
T11- Heather Abbott - 9 points

Brad is in the lead after day 1 after only mis-predicting (is that a word? If not, I'm making it one... contact Merriam-Webster) two games: Georgetown and Vanderbilt. The defending Young Family Bracket Challenge winner is tied for second place with Robert and Melissa as they only missed four selections.

Don't worry everyone... it's only one day. And these were only for 1 point. Just remember that last year I had one of my Final Four selections get ousted in the first round and finished strong... you're definitely not out of the bracket challenge.

So, tomorrow's a new day... but until then, let's celebrate that I'm winning! Because we all know that it won't freaking last... or will it? MUAHAHA

Good luck tomorrow! Hopefully there aren't many upsets!
