Ok, admittedly I didn't spend as much time as I would've liked before I entered the Volley Talk "Pick the Winners" Contest (didn't see it until about fifteen minutes before the deadline), but I still ended up doing alright.
Round 1: 26 for 32 (.8125) - not so great.
Round 2: 14 for 16 (.875) - pretty good (especially considering some of my picks from the 1st round were wrong).
I'm sure my performance is mediocre at best (especially compared to some others on this board), but I'm curious to hear how some of the rest of you did?

well lets see. My only pick was that LBSU would make it to the Final Four.

We were identical in the first round and I was one match behind you in the second round.
I would have done a bit better without a couple of "sentimental" selections and on selection I don't remember making but its written down on my sheet.
One of the other losses I don't mind (Purdue over CSU) since it was one of my favorite schools while growing up (though not necessarily maturing) in Hoosierland.

ROFL!
Apparently so...
I don't suppose you accidentally somehow wrote down Towson to win their match against Maryland?
I'm still scratching my head over that one - it isn't the selection I intended to make. It does happen to be written with my own chicken scratches though.
I'll blame it on early onset senility or al heimer disease.

Missed 2 in R1, 4 in R2, and 1 so far in R3 (guess which one, ouch).

Pablo is 39-9. 81%. Of the remaining 15 matches, best it can do is 12-3.
FWIW.
