First Round thoughts:
- As usual, it was a very chalky first round.
- The biggest "upset" was Key West going down to Portland, which is either due to the league's collective Bennett hate, or the fact that we really wanted to see Portland vs. Portland in the Sweet Sixteen.
- Pittsburgh barely survived OKC in Round 1, and now faces a potential juggernaut in Montreal that got 15 votes due to either an Esco backing or a very easy Sarasota first round matchup that only Alan included in his initial list and only Alan voted for.
- Despite the Bennett hate with Key West, Tampa advanced, so maybe it really is the Portland thing.
- The biggest Round 2 matchup is probably Vegas vs. Minneapolis, not only because they both dominated Round 1, but also because they both signify the types of locations we could choose. If Vegas wins, it bodes well for Austin and Montreal. If Minny wins, I would expect to see Pittsburgh and Burlington in the Final Four as well.
