I did my own picks without consulting TR's, and came up with an identical list, but for the sake of competition, I'll be a homer and submit the same slate, with the exception of Bucky over the Dukies.
120 points.
Wake
Indiana
Virginia
FSU
Duke
Clemson
MSU
BC
IL
OSU
Vtech
70-60 Duke
Wake Forest (more balanced scoring, and Iowa has an assist-turnover ratio below 1)
Indiana
Minnesota
Virginia
Duke (which kills me, but I'm worried about their 3-point shooting)
Purdue (I have a hard time getting a read on this game; neither team has played anyone of note)
Michigan State
Illinois
Boston College
North Carolina
Virginia Tech
Tiebreaker: 79-75 (154 points)

All right, so we've got 7 contestants, best of luck to the people who didnt pick Iowa.
Well, three of us are still perfect. Tomorrow night will be interesting. Props to Timmy for only being 3 pts. off on the tiebreaker.
My buddy MA sent me his picks Tuesday morning, so he's a little bit late. But his strategy was to just pick every ACC team. So, if we let him in we have Sherby, Jimbo, and EK at 6-0 and the ACC and MA at 5-1 through Tuesday.
Also, I forgot to put down EK's pick of the OSU/UNC game, he is taking Carolina
And MB and I are at 5-1 as well.
I'm counting on you Penn State!
Oh yeah, btw, I WON!!!!!
HA!
WAY TO GO PSU!!!!!
