Continuing on with the Baskin-Robbins marketing opportunity, Uncle Dino wants to remind you that we are on to to the Sweet 16, and what could be better than to pair up your excitement with a cake from Baskin-Robbins... Let's take a peek a the leader board after 48 games: Some from the the end of Round 1 remain while others have broken through! A-A-ron Sygiel of the Wolverine Clan, has taken over the top spot from Badger Clan member David Bedell. Coming out of nowhere like Ralphie at a CU football game to rise to 3rd place is Trey Chapman. Now don't get ahead of yourself Trey - kind of like Ralphie and his handlers - while you have a perfect record in the West Regional so far - maxing your 1st Round bonus points and with your West Region and Final Four still intact you could get even more bonus points. Johnny Olsen tell Trey what he could win: Well Uncle Dino, Trey has already won 10 bonus points for correctly picking all 1st Round games in the West Region, but that's not all. If Trey can continue his good luck in the West Region he could win another 25 bonus points for correctly picking all games in the West Region. And wiat, that's still not all, There is even more! Since Trey has one of the few brackets that have his Final Four teams intact (and that's intact not Intacct where the definition includes the fact that it is damaged....) he could win another, that's another 25 bonus points for correctly picking all four regional champions. Back to you Uncle Dino! Wow! That would be amazing, thank you Johnny! - Admit it, you just read that in your game show announcer voice... Rising to 4th place is David Rodman #1 - at this time David would like to thank David Rodman #2, David Rodman #3, David Rodman #4, and David Rodman #5, for their sacrifices and allowing David Rodman #1 to make it into the Top 10! That reminds Uncle Dino that it's time for Uncle Dino's Top 1o List: The top 10 reasons David Rodman #1 has made it to the Top 10 of The 37th Annual 2023 Uncle Dino's NCAA Basketball Tournament Pool for the Benefit of the V Foundation: 10. Followed the detailed instructions provided but not the subtleties. 9. Leveraged his experience from winning the Nobel Prize for Literature for being the first guy who first hyphenated "Oat-bran" 8. Debated naming brackets March Badness #1, March Badness #2, March Badness #3, March Badness #4, and March Badness #5. 7. Picked teams based on which mascot would win in a fight. 6. Used Google Maps to determine his proximity to each school and only selected those outside of a 243-mile radius. 5. Selected teams whose coaches’ names are more fun to say. 4. Chose his bracket by strictly picking schools based on which one is rated higher according to U.S. News and World Report's academic rankings. 3. He chose which school would win based the number of syllables in its name. 2. Based his picks on the second-to-last letter of the town that the coaches of the teams were born in. And the #1 reason David made it to the Top 10 is... 1. Darts. Holding steady in 5th place is Z-Man #2, followed by Chad, still hated by millions in 6th, restaurateur Mr. Tom Mills in 7th (Uncle Dino recommends you check out Nickie's if you are in SF), And we have some newcomers to the Top 10. In 8th place, old Iron Byron Kanaley a 2-time Uncle Dino past winner - who Uncle Dino will go out on a limb and suggest that his chances of winning this year are slim to none and slim has left town! Brad En-Deering who is riding the good catholic wave that is the Creighton Blue Jays and last but certainly not least Mr. Dan Phillips in 10th place.
