Apparently, everyone forgot to rub lamb’s blood on their doorposts over the weekend because many brackets were slaughtered when Gonzaga and Georgetown went down.
Sunday’s games were a little more predictable, and as we head to the Sweet 16, Bryan Dant has resurrected his chances by winning every second round game in the Midwest and East brackets, and three out of four in the South. He’s tied for the lead with Cyndy Madi and Sherry Newton, but all three of them have a Final 4 team out of the tournament, Gonzaga for Bryan and Sherry, Kansas State for Cyndy. Mark Blandford is just a point behind, but has lost New Mexico from his Final 4. Orville Bray and Kelly Tipton are two points back, but have all four of their Final 4 teams intact. Amber Jones, who entered Sunday alone in first place, is tied for third, and has lost North Carolina as a Final 4 team.
Games resume Thursday, with those and Friday’s games worth 4 points each. Here are the standings after Sunday’s games.
