Day Two Tidbits

Here are my observations for Day Two of the Shootout.

#13 Yale had the biggest upset of the second day by knocking out #4 Auburn. There were 10 people correctly pick that game.

Shira Dankner, Hannah Fritsche, Kevin Green,

Calan Lyons, Kristin Lyons, Matthew Murray,

Andrew Smith, Maxwell Smith, Kris Smithson 3,

Zinger33

We don’t count 8 vs 9 games here, but there were 4 games where the lower seeds beat the higher seeds. Those winners were Yale, Grand Canyon, James Madison, and Colorado. There were 16 people that got 3 out of 4 correct. They were:

Steelskins 1 Gammache, Wes Herndon, Kevin Knapp 1 & 3,

Janet Lundquist, Lynn Murray, Mike Murray, Emily Painter,

Jonny Quest, Ed Schmitt 6, Andrew Smith, Maxwell Smith,

Mike Wagner, Todd Wilson, Craig Winstel and Zinger33

Out of 16 games played on Friday, two people picked 15 of those correctly. They were:

Ed Schmitt 6 and Craig Winstel

And then there were those that didn’t have such a good first day. These folks only picked 7 of the 16 games correctly on day one. For those mathematically challenged, that’s less than 50%. Maybe invest in a coin flip method next time.

Shooter Flatch, Zoie Gammache, Steely Gammache, and Maxwell Smith

Shooter and Zoie did pick one of the upset games. In addition, there were 12 others that are hiding in the bushes as they only got eight (50%) of the games correct.
