Sweet 16 no longer... Elite 8!!

                                   Dropping Like Flies

                  Ganza contestants that got knocked out in the round of 16

After an exciting two days of Sweet 16 basketball, this year's Extravaganza field has been trimmed by no less than 15 contestants. Between an incredible finish in the Purdue/Tennessee matchup, Auburn trouncing UNC, Texas Tech taking out Michigan, UVA dumping Oregon, and UK squeaking by Houston, a good number of us are heading for the exits earlier than the rest of us. The list of mathematically eliminated early out losers are:

Recently investigated & 1990 champ Michael S., Anne G., Rae G., 2013 champ Charlie F., 2009 champ Goose, Darrell C., 2001 champ Prune, 3-time past champ Ed L., 2-time past champ Ellen D., Mo/Lucas, Tim S., Dirringer, Paul P., Jon T., Dave B., and 2003 champ Michael B.

                         This is last year's (and 2008) Ganza champ, Philip P. 

Heading into this weekend's Elite 8 games, Philip P. is the only 2019 Ganza contestant that still has all four of his teams. In other words, Philip P. is sitting sweet. Good luck Philip P.!

Also, the Pick's Page will be updated tomorrow.
