Daily blurb
I guess it says something about this year’s tournament when my dog’s entry, picked solely based on team mascots, takes the Market Madness title. For the contest excluding basket units, the title was shared by two entrants. Most of the country found the championship game to be exceedingly ugly basketball, but in Connecticut that doesn’t seem to matter much to anyone.

It’s not as though Rufus had tremendous insight, however. His winning score of G$687 was less than half of the best possible score of G$1474. Not surprisingly, that entry would have included the Final Four teams as well as their seed baskets, plus the SEC and Pac 10 baskets. On the short side, it’s a collection of high seeds and conference baskets. The Big East basket ended up being neither a good long nor a good short, with a net return of -10.

I’m going to be away from RotoGuru World headquarters for the rest of this week and next, heading to South Carolina – starting with a few days in Charleston, and then a week in Hilton Head. So blurbs will be suspended until April 18. And Market Madness GuruPatron prize notifications will probably be delayed until then as well.
