With eight first round games remaining, Jonathan Wang, a mysterious man who works with my roommate at Research in Motion, sits alone atop the leaderboard after picking 21 of 24 games correctly. I hope everyone got a chance to see the last couple minutes of Drake/Western Kentucky -- if you missed it, the last three minutes are available through the CBS On Demand program that lets you watch all the games online (just click 'Buzzer Beater'). That was about as good as it gets; as ALACS-er Adam Atkins so eloquently put it, "put it on the shelf of the all-time highlights" that March Madness is famous for.
In another dose of Day 2 excitement, San Diego outlasted UConn in overtime, winning on a fadeaway just inside the three-point arc with 1.2 seconds left, despite having their top two scorers foul out of the game. Worth noting: Only three of the 66 brackets in the ALACS pool did not have Drake or UConn advancing to the Sweet 16; Andrew Gay, Kyle Davis, and Jordan Spektor each had Western Kentucky winning two games.
