<p>Wow. </p>
<p>I must admit, I never even considered going with Harvard.
Wow, Archiesmom, I hope you have the same picks for your $1B bracket!!</p>
<p>Anyone watching the UConn/St. J game? Hoboy! </p>
<p>ETA: 10/10 for Archie… I bow to you! </p>
<p>Currently 9/10. I have NC State and they’re killing me right now. How did they blow that 16 point lead?</p>
<p>I’m in the exact same predicament. SLU has the momentum 
</p>
<p>10-1 so far. There goes my billion $$.</p>
<p>Through 1st 12 games, 0.37% of ESPN’s 11 million brackets are perfect…</p>
<p>Aww </p>
<p>I’m 9-2. somehow, I had every 12 seed upsetting. I didn’t do it on purpose but it’s biting me lol (though I did get Harvard!) </p>
<p>After today’s bkb games, will anyone still be alive in Billion Dollar bracket challenge? Lonnnngggg shot!</p>

<p>Woohoo! We had 20 alumni show up at a party in Chicago to watch Harvard win in the middle of a workday. If last year is any guide, we’ll have over 100 show up tomorrow to watch us get killed in the second round. 
If we do win, that will kill all my Harvard friends’ brackets! No one has us beating MSU.</p>
<p>I wish I could say I favored N. Dakota State. I thought they would give Arizona State trouble but I went with the Sun Devils over those oil barons from the plans. Dang it. You can’t trust anyone from the state of Arizona. LOL.</p>
<p>Oil barons (or should I have said "oil shale barons?) from the PLAINS.</p>
<p>Hanna, I will cry if that happens. For multiple reasons 
</p>
<p>My bracket is pro Pac-12 so it took a hit with the losses by Colorado and Arizona State. At least Oregon won. I am hoping for better luck today with Arizona and UCLA. My D’s SDSU Aztecs almost gave us a heart attack. </p>
<p>Am loving all the Canadian kids who are participating! Go Canada! ;)</p>
<p>Looks like the 1B is safe. Duke being sent packing in the first round always brings joy to my heart… I stopped paying attention to this tournament after years of incredibly bad officiating, but it is fun to read about the big upsets. </p>
<p>GO MERCER! I would root for ANY team that beats Duke! But great for Mercer!!</p>
<p>Jim Boeheim is quoted in the local paper tonight as saying, “Whoever is playing Mercer is in trouble.” He said it was probably the only team in the country he hadn’t seen play this year and doesn’t know how he missed them!</p>
<p>There are apparently 16 perfect brackets left in the billion dollar challenge. </p>
<p>As the mother of a Tarheel, it’s my duty to be happy when Duke gets beat. :)</p>
