Maybe some of you are doing second-chance pools this week.
And maybe you’d want the advice of a guy who went 22-10 in the first round and advanced only nine teams to the regional semifinals.

That would probably make you a little nuts.
In any case, here’s the revamped picks for the remaining four rounds of the NCAA tournament (thus also counting as my regional semi guesses).
REGIONAL SEMI WINNERS
(1) Louisville
(2) Michigan State
(1) Connecticut
(2) Memphis
(4) Gonzaga
(2) Oklahoma
(1) Pittsburgh
(3) Villanova
REGIONAL FINAL WINNERS
(1) Louisville
(2) Memphis
(4) Gonzaga
(1) Pittsburgh
SEMIFINAL WINNERS
(1) Louisville
(1) Pittsburgh
CHAMP
(1) Louisville
In short, handed a second chance, I plug Villanova into the place I had Texas (oops). And that’s it. Might as well stick with the rest of the original choices.
Maybe that’s crazy. Then again, clearly so is following my advice to the letter.
