The clock is ticking and the moment we have all been waiting for will be upon us tomorrow just after noon EST time. March Madness will kick off and the race to the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship will be on. There are only two bracket spots left to be decided with the remaining two "first four" games taking place tonight. North Dakota State and North Carolina Central will fight it out for the unenviable opportunity to take on #1 seed Duke in the first round while Arizona State and St. John's will battle to be a number 11 seed in the big tourney. Those games will take place tonight and the winner will have to make a quick turn around and play their tournament game tomorrow. I can only imagine how stressful and exciting that must be for these players.

Last night saw Belmont punch their ticket as a number 11 seed by knocking off Temple 81-70. The second highest scoring offence in the country was on full display as the Bruins high paced motion offence was clicking on all cylinders. They will go on to play #6 seed Maryland in what many experts feel could be an upset game. In the other game, Fairleigh Dickinson earned the number 16 seed by beating Prairie View A&M and will now head to Salt Lake City to take on # 1 seed Gonzaga.

There is still a day left to get in on the big NCAA March Madness Pool on Scorum. The response so far has been fantastic and we already have 16 people who have signed up. It would be fantastic if we could get the total up to 20 or more contestants. We had over 30 people take part in the NFL Power Ranking Pool.
The goal of the pool is to pick the teams that you think have the best chance to win in the tournament.
How to enter:
Entering the contest is super easy. All you need to do is respond to the 300 SCR NCAA March Madness Pool Post with your teams and their seed number. See the example on that page.
Rules:
The tiebreaker is the total number of points in the championship game. Once someone has chosen a point total it cannot be chosen by another contestant.
Make sure to choose 12 teams and to double check that your tiebreaker points total has not already been chosen.
