Lye,
Yes, and furthermore it may qualify for the rare POTW bonus of +.25% gain if you can find that seldom used clause buried deep in the POTW rulebook.

Second round upsets....

Here we go, in the second round I think....

Indiana will bounce Gonzaga. The Zags let teams stay around too long and this time Morrison won't be able to save them.

Texas A & M will give LSU all they want ...and more. The Aggies slow down game will frustrate the Tigers and send them packing.

George Mason looked awfully good against Michigan State. Maybe they can put together one more win against a young North Carolina.

Bradley played lights out against Kansas. If Pittsburgh can't hit the three, they'd better have their bags packed.

Not sure these teams will all win, but against the line, they're golden....

And one other thing, FWIW, I am picking UCLA to cut down the nets.

Nope.... an ACC team will cut the nets Jimbo.... I'm rootin' for NC State to upset.lol....

Remember Jimmy "V"?!!!!

That was 1983. I was 20 years old and living in Raleigh back then.... It was HUUUUGE!!!!

Don't give up..don't ever give up.
