Unbelievably, in the only pool I'm in where money is involved, I actually vaulted into first place after Friday's games, though most of it is due to Thursday's wins by Kansas and Marquette. No one had MSU making the Elite 8, so that was a relief. I'm not counting chickens yet, though, because just one incorrect game will put me right back in the middle of the pack. I'm one of the few people that picked Kansas to beat Arizona, so that will be a key game.
