2014 ABCI Standings Through the 1st Round

Yooooooooooouuuuuuuuu .... Crank that Soulja Boy


Another year, another Duke loss.  Their streak over not beating a seed higher than them has now run 23 years.  For some reason, I continue to not heed my own advice.  I continually tell myself that Duke sucks but always give them the benefit of the doubt.  I've learned better when it comes to Pitt, but I've allowed Duke to cost me yet again.

Here are the standings after yesterday.  Fritz finds himself alone at the top of the standings after scoring an impressive 28 out of 32.  Those are very lofty figures.  He also still has 13 of his sweet 16 remaining.  He's able to do some real damage this weekend if everything goes his way.  Just about everyone had Duke in the Sweet 16, so it's a wash unless you dumb enough to put Duke in the Final Four like I was.

I also want to hand out props to the 5 brackets that correctly picked Stephen Fuller Austin over Virginia Commonwealth.  BG, Chris Fusco, Midwest Baller, Ben Lobitz and Pat Shields all had the insight to pick the Lumberjacks.  If Tatz had entered this year, he would have certainly picked them as well.  Again,  I should have known better.  The entire CBS Sports desk shouted "OHHHH!!!!" when this game was annouced.  It took Seth Davis all of 25 seconds to declare he too, was taking the Lumberjacks.
