How Does Mike Do It?

Once again Mike is pulling off a tremendous run in ESPN's tournament challenge. Right now his entry is ranked #2699 (tied) out of more than 3 million entries overall. If he can get the next 7 games right (UCLA losing to UConn in the final), that would be incredible and probably put him in the top 50 nationwide. What's crazy is Mike is fairly consistent about this. His highlight is picking Ohio State to the Final Four in 1999 when they had Scoonie Friedlander, no wait, Scoonie Penn. I also think he picked SU to win it all in 2003 and I remember him touting 6 seed Wisconsin last year, and they did go to the final 8 before losing to UNC. This year his pick was Georgetown. Although he had them beating Florida in another pool, in ESPN he picked Florida. Other than the major surprises (Bradley, Wichita State, George Mason) that almost everyone got wrong, Mike has been near perfect after the first round.
