Quick sum up from the first half: 13 of my 16 teams went on, leaving the other 3 in a flop. Which meant that 5 out of my 8 sets of teams from the first round made it. 3 didn't. Not bad, right? I think so...
...Until today and this night of games that were in action. Second half of the first round wasn't on my side today. Honestly, I barely got to watch ANY games today. BARELY. Well, HARDLY, because I was out with a lot of my friends. Not that I blame them. I don't at all, so don't worry. So, I finally come home and on both the tube and the desktop and started checking the scores and checking my brackets, hoping to get some predicted wins down...How'd I fair...? Blah. Well, here it is:
TEAMS PREDICTED (INDIVIDUAL):
Out of 16 teams I predicted for the second half of the first round advacining to the second round, 10 of the 16 advanced. Not quite what I had expected for this second half...But at least I tried.
TEAMS PREDICTED (IN SETS):
With that said, above, if I put those into sets of teams, that means that 3 sets of the total 8 advanced. Bad. Bad predictions...But I ain't gonna bug out about it any longer...I just have to pick more carefully. Just glad I'm doing this fantasy for fun and not for money, ha!
PROJECTED PREDICTIONS MADE; FIRST ROUND-SECOND ROUND (INDIVIDUAL):
MIDWEST:
(1) Louisville def. (16) Morehead St. >> L'ville advances to second round
