Bracketology: Joe Mule Style - Round 1

Well, THAT was an exciting first round!  Did you see that last second shot in Oklahoma City???  If not, here it is:

Paul Jesperson's buzzer beater

As promised, here is how my brackets are looking:

Top Seeds:  19-13 after the first round.  I don't know what the stats are for any other year, but 13 upsets?  That's impressive!

Cinderellas:  Obviously, if the top seeds went 19-13, the Cinderellas went 13-19 (funny how that works, isn't it?).

Alphabetical:  Sometimes being first isn't best.  The ABC bracket went 10-22, worst among my five, which means Xavier still has a chance (naturally I'm not reseeding after the first round).

Random Selection:  So I'm not going to look for statistical significance here, but the random selection didn't work out so well, either.  Teams picked to win only came out on top 14 times.  But the Yale-eys are hanging in there!

My Heart:  Sadly, my national champion was knocked out in the first round, but kudos to KU for supporting the #RallyforRhyan cause.  Still, my prefered teams did best of all, going 22-10.  And I'm picking Arkansas-Little Rock to go all the way!

ON TO ROUND TWO!!!
