First Round: St. Patty's Day picks



And we are off!  In Derby-speak, it is a crowded field!  We have a record 86 entries!  So as of the first tip we have a winner's pot of $688 and HCCF Kids Crossfit is currently set to get $192 ($20 extra donated by Theo and Clay).  Of course, those numbers will go up as folks exercise the "I did the dumb" buy back over the next 48 hours.  If the halftime trend continues I will gladly be among the first to double down after a Duke loss!

So here we are today's picks.  If I have messed up on your pick you have until tip of your game to send me proof of my error otherwise you can always "do the dumb" and buy back in.  As always, updates throughout the day!

Arizona: Amy, Campbell and Alex M1

Baylor: Kelley, James B, Luna, Les and David T

Butler: Jessy

Chattanooga: Susan and Mike R

Colorado: Jamie

Duke: Michael, Laura, Ponsoll, Krista and John S2

Gonzaga: Jessica

*UPDATE: I made a clerical error yesterday in listing Mike R as a Chattanooga pick when he in fact picked Indiana.  I have the email proof of this pick should anyone be inclined to challenge.
