The other two matches were underdog sweeps! |

Easy for you to say. Gonzaga was my upset pick, although I was tempted to go with Santa Clara, too and had my doubts about San Diego.
It's still 0-3. Woot! And after my bold USC pick, a nice 1-4 start.

Can we just have a moratorium on WCC matches for the rest of the season?

2 winners out of 5. Any chance you can post who picked the worst results for this season after it ends. I am in the running and I AM NOT TRYING TO PICK UP THIS AWARD!

2 winners out of 5. Any chance you can post who picked the worst results for this season after it ends. I am in the running and I AM NOT TRYING TO PICK UP THIS AWARD! Your overall % is right around 2/3 -- still a success rate that any sports better would kill for  . This year's PTW participants are doing very well despite the WCC. 2/3 was slightly below average in the past, but ranks further down thus far this year. We'll post the final scores for all participants after the last weekly contest but before the bracket contest. |

The WCC continues to wreak havoc with PTW scores, as Santa Clara upset San Diego. WCC's PTW-favored teams were 1-4 this week.

That is not all random madness: some of the best players on some of the teams had recently been sidelined with injuries and came back to play. But, still, the WCC is the WCC! |
