    Here are the entries so far. We're up 33 percent over last season's total entries. Well done.

    Remember, if you don't have your picks in by kick off of the first match, they won't be included. 1 p.m. ET is the first kick according to NCAA.com

    6. torwart - still need an adjustment from you. You picked Duke in the wrong portion of the bracket. If I don't see one, I'll just count it as an incorrect pick.
    7. recsoc
    8. bradleyk15
    9. 24seven - need you to pick Liberty/ODU in the first round.

    Beating me in this is setting the bar really low.

    I suck at this every year.

    There's a reason why when I gamble I stick to blackjack.

    Fknbuflobo - It was simple enough. I just didn't check off Duke. You do have 11 points. Sorry for the mix up.
