No upsets in the evening games tonight. We did have some epic blowout victories. St. John's dispatched Northern Iowa by 26, and that was only the third biggest blowout of the evening. Purdue took down Queens by 33, and Florida said...hold my beer. Florida put up the second largest margin of victory (59) in NCAA tournament history with its 114-55 annihilation of Prairie View. Apparently, Prairie View is a favorite punching bag in the tournament, as they suffered a 58 point blowout in 1998 at the hands of Kansas.
In the standings, we have a sole leader for the first time. Gerry Meskill got 29 of 32 correct in round 1 to put himself atop the leaderboard. He also got all 7/10 seeds and the midwest region correct for the bonuses. Next up, the round of 32 on Saturday.
