Tampa is Upset City

After a mostly upset-free day yesterday, we've already seen wins today by #10 Davidson, #12 Western Kentucky and #13 San Diego... and now #13 Siena is leading #4 Vanderbilt at halftime -- in Tampa, the same place where the WKU and USD wins occurred -- and in what would be a bigger upset than the seeds indicate, #9 Oregon is ahead of #8 Mississippi State.

UPDATE: Mississippi State came back to beat the Ducks. But Siena won! Pool update shortly.

UPDATE 2: Through 28 games, Alex Whitfield and Ryan Morgan are tied atop the 13th annual Living Room Times men's basketball pool presented by the UCLA Bruins, with 120 points out of a possible 140. Nine contestants are tied for third place with 115 points apiece. Full standings here and after the jump.

This may be the last pool update of the evening. I'm exhausted (I've pulled several late nights during the week getting various aspects of the pool set up, and I was up early this morning, dealing with a fussy baby), so I may go to bed before the final wave of games is over -- once I'm satisfied that UT-Arlington is hopelessly behind Memphis. (I'd never forgive myself I were to miss the first-ever #16 seed victory over a #1.) If so, I'll update the standings in the morning.

And lets not forget the pending upset on that same court in just a matter of hours... Nova will make it a 4 for 4 day. oops, jinxed it

[Neil]

And...

North Carolina is up by 50..

[NDLauren]

Yay! I picked Siena!

[JD]

If Nova wins, Tampa will join Boise as a place where top seeds go to die.

Cujo was a Saint Bernard. I'll take him over a Wildcat.

[Newbs]

Thats what the f i'm talking about.

[MHiggo]

Uff-da ... 10-6 on Day 2. Somehow, though, I'm only down three Sweet 16 teams (Clemson, Drake and Arizona).

Good thing the USD folks talked me into picking them over UConn.

[NDLauren]

Yeah, day two was not a pretty one for me, but I only lost 2 more sweet 16 team to be down a total of three. I blame this blog for selling me on the one I lost on day one...USC :-). The other two ended up being Big East conference related, one where I incorrectly picked a Big East team to win (UConn) and one where I failed to pick a Big East team to win (Nova).
