Tourney Challenge: Week 2

The Final Four is set and only one bracket was bold enough to predict a historic 4-for-4 by the 1-seeds. Three of the four were absolutely dominant in their Elite Eight matches, with Kansas barely slipping by an inspired Davidson team. (Speaking of which, did anyone notice how Stephon Curry's dismal performance in the second half went completely without comment? I mean, the guy has been stellar, no doubt about it, but 25 points after taking 25 shots? I counted a stretch where he missed seven in a row, mostly being ill-advised treys in which he shot 4-16. I honestly think the hype may have gone to his head and Davidson could have won this game if he had focused more on playmaking than scoring. Besides, the analysts forget that the reason he was so successful in the first couple rounds was because nobody really knew of him; once he actually garnered some attention he wasn't very effective. Ok ok, I'll lay off the guy now...)

With a chalkboard Final Four, most of us have been left in the dust. However, there are many scenarios that can still play out. Some stats after the second week of action:

-Gou Nu De's and Kassel 1 have no points possible remaining.
-Five brackets are tied with the most points possible remaining with 400.
-The Jaundice Eye was the only bracket aside from Top Seeds to get the Final Four.
-The top five brackets can all win under the right circumstances.

Here are the current standings:

1) Top Seeds, 980
2) The Jaundice Eye, 970
3) Deni's Domination, 920
4) Hands Off Raiders, 860
5) Trader Vic, 840
6) George Fox, 750
7) 40 oz In A Closet, 680
7) Beyer, 680
9) Gou Nu De's, 630
10) Ted Casady, 580*
11) Kassel 1, 530

*Theo didn't submit a bracket on ESPN.com in time but he did email it to me before the tournament started. He has 120 PPR with Kansas losing in the championship.
