   	Indeed, it just did.  With all the fuss tonight I bounced back   
   up to the top!  This is clearly going to be a roller coaster tournament.

   	Siena and Wisconsin, both sentimental picks, really worked out   
   for me.  You could see CBS Master Command breaking down in agony at the   
   combination of two really tight contests going into overtimes with   
   leads shuffling back and forth every few shots.  At one point they cut   
   from Wisconsin to Siena as one ball was mid-arc.   
      
   	On the other hand, I'd also had Wake Forest and Illinois picked   
   to get to the Elite Eight, and that hasn't worked out nearly so well.
