Day 3 Recap

Day 3 of the tournament is now a thing of the past, and with it so are the hopes and dreams of 12 of our lovely combatants. Of the 12 horrible losers that are terrible at this game, nine of them were silly enough to fall into the Jay Wright honeypot. I get it guys, the man can wear a freaking suit, he looks at you with those big eyes and you just think to yourself, "Of course I can trust him...he wouldn't hurt me again" But then, like all men, he rips your heart out, throws it on the ground, and does a riverdance all over it. And, for another March we're all left looking at Jay Wright and saying something along these lines....

Some people lost on choices that ended up being just as bad as taking Villanova, but at least they were way ballsier. Philip Crone 3 went back to the well on Georgia State figuring, "Hey this worked Thursday, maybe it will work again." But, just because a stupid thing works once doesn't mean it will work again, and it didn't work again. It's like buying the Baha Men's second album because you really loved Who Let The Dogs Out. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it ended up just being a miserable album full of far worse Bahamian rhythms. Ryan Sandlin and Samantha Buente fell for the Ron Hunter trap as well, and Aaron Moore deserves mention for picking UAB over UCLA. I guess we can all respect the chances you guys took, but, in the end you're all just losers, no better than those suckers that fell for Villanova.

Xavier and UCLA winning moved on the majority of our entrants and we still have 129 entries alive heading into Day 4. Things look tougher today though, the strategy really starts coming into play now as decisions have to be made on using "safe" teams to try to advance versus saving the teams you think you'll want to use later. I think we can all agree that shit is about to get real.
