I entered the $1,000 HSNL March Madness bracket pool on 2+2. I had to fade quite a few sweats, but I managed to hit 15/16 for the Sweet 16. I have Louisville, Mizzou, Duke and Gonzaga with Duke beating Mizzou in the NC. This isn’t the most likely outcome, but I have a lot of possibilities given that I tore it up in the 1st and 2nd rounds. Besides Duke and Mizzou, I need to win 2/3 of the following: Kansas, Syracuse and Gonzaga. Gonzaga being one of those 2 is just about a must. If I can manage to get Duke, Mizzou and Gonzaga, I’ll be sitting very, very pretty. There’s a backdoor chance that I can just about clinch this thing by the start of the weekend but that’d take a miracle and a number of upsets.
Either way, this definitely calls for a “One time please dealer!”
