A reminder that the deadline for part two of the Pick the Tourneys contest
is Thursday March 11th at 6:00 PM.

Again as a public service, I offer my picks for the rest of the conference
tourneys (though I must be slipping, as I managed to somehow get one winner
in the ECAC first round.  Oh well, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn
every once in a while)
