keep asking yourself that question and someday you will find the answer

From the Cincy best/worst thing:

Worst Case: Fouled on a put-back attempt with a second left and the Bearcats down one, Jackson must go to the line to beat Harvard. Horrified Cincinnati fans avert their eyes as the beloved senior who has missed 10 straight free throws, and 14 of his last 15, bricks them both. Cronin had previously been ejected when his enraged elf sideline act spills over into a Jeff Van Gundy leg grab of Harvard's center. Sean Kilpatrick's Cincy career ends on a 6-for-22 brickfest as the offensively laborious Bearcats bog down without him hitting enough shots. Meanwhile, Xavier executes a surprising dash from Dayton to the Sweet 16, reveling in Cincinnati's early ouster along the way. And there still is no other conference eyeing the Bearcats for expansion.

More likely, Jackson goes to the line with one second remaining down by two. He of course misses the first. Cincinnati crowds the line knowing that they'll have a good chance to at least tip the ball in to tie the game. Jackson shoots, it goes in, Harvard inbounds and the game is over.

Either way has probably happened before in the tourney to them in the past

I liked the peripheral sass those best/worst case scenarios that had nothing to do with the hypothetical game, but rather with the success or defeation of rivals as well as the antics of the coaches and/or fan bases...

1 game down, one victory on the way to my perfect bracket and being that guy who filled out a perfect bracket but didn't sign up for $1 billion.

Im gonna go ahead and pencil in 3-0 at this point, too.

Heh. Typical Suckeye fan.

Out of all the participant in the billion dollar pool, I wonder what percentage had Dayton advancing? I guess we'll soon find out, if they're publishing bracket updates in a timely fashion. Warren Buffet has got to be feeling pretty good about now. Actually, Warren Buffet is probably feeling pretty good all the time...

I wonder how often it happens that the 11 seed upsets the 6 seed? Probably not that often. Which bodes well for 6 seed UNC! What are the chances that it would happen twice in the same tourny?? Not very high! Go Heels!

If I even knew any American University fans, this is what I would be sassing them with right now:

With the Harvard and Dayton result, I would guess that somewhere between 96 and 99% of people have already been eliminated from the $1 billion.

Both of those games eliminated me. Probably for the best though.... I'd have people coming out of the woodwork claiming kin if I won a billion.

Delaware hanging around with MSU, who would've thunk it?
