Bracket Challenge: Two Participants Tied for First After Bracket Busting Weekend

White Lake Patch has 10 readers hoping to knock off White Lake Patch Editor Brooke Tajer. Who will reign supreme in March?

It was an exhilarating start to the NCAA Tournament. While Thursday remained relatively upset free, Friday brought on an onslaught of 15th-seeded teams that played harder and beat their 2nd-seeded opponents.

Perhaps the biggest loss, and the most most damaging to several brackets, was Duke. The Blue Devils were outplayed most of the night by a well coached Lehigh team, and lost 75-70.

Here in Michigan, several of us, despite our college loyalties, picked the University of Michigan to beat Ohio and at least make it to the Sweet Sixteen. In another bracket busting loss, the Wolverines just couldn't get it done against Ohio – they lost 65-60.
