[U: Winner] And… Speaking of small chances…

[Updated: Both Kansas and Duke are through to the Final Four. I win.] End update.

If either Duke or Kansas pulls out a win today. . . I will have beaten Mr. Obama, for only the third time in 12 long years.

As was true with about 70 per cent of all of the three million or so brackets auto-loaded, and tracked through the CBS Sports NCAA App, due to the wild number of upsets this year, he and I both did horribly, finishing near 30 per cent correctly picked.

But as chance would have it, he has no remaining teams in the hunt -- and at least until tonight, I still have both Kansas and Duke. So. . . I win.

But he crushed me on the Women's brackets. Damn -- onward, to tomorrow. . . with Villanova as my new favorite (if a bit of a dark horse), in the Big Easy. . . grinning.
