Congratulations to Florida, who put quite the beating on UCLA last night.

And congratulations to thedude110, who put a fairly similar beating on the rest of the MacRumors tournament challengers. thedude110's picks, aptly titled "thedude110's whooping you", scored a (relatively) whopping 98 points, compared with 73 for the next closest competitor, cycocelica.

Complete results are below. Humiliating, isn't it? ;)

Note that the picks called "MacRumors NCAA Tournament" are mine. I suppose I could try and hide that fact, but it's probably too late. 56 points? :eek:

Code:
1	  thedude110's whooping you	  98 
2	  cycocelica   73 
3	  WildCowboy	71 
4	  MacNut	70 
5	  Dave00	70 
6	  m-dogg	66 
7	  Stubeeef	63 
8	  buryyourbrideau	62 
9	  Silencio's Stupid Set	61 
10	  Jovian9	58 
11	  jelloshotsrule sucks	56 
12	  MacRumors NCAA Tournament	56 
13	  xsedrinam	55 
14	  Kwyjibo	54 
15	  Mat Cats	52 
16	  nbs2	51 
17	  swiftaw	49 
18	  gauchogolfer	47

Edit: I'll try to update the winner avatar, if thedude110 is interested.

And another special thanks to emw for setting this up. I thought it was a lot of fun. I learned a lot of things during the surprises including how to pronounce Joakim Noah's name. I was chaffing every time I heard his name, thinking it should be pronounced "Huakeen" (i.e. Joaquin) instead of "Joe-Kim". Congrats to Florida.

thedude110 had a good time whooping all of you and would love a copy of the 'tar.

Considering how badly Florida beat UCLA (in every aspect of the game), is it a stretch to say George Mason is the number 2 team in the nation?

Sorry it took so long - it's been a long couple of days. In any case, here you go. Let me know if there are any issues with it.
