Beat My Dog II: Electric Boogaloo

Hello there, boys and girls.

With Sweet 16 games upon us, let's provide a little update on the Beat My Dog Bracket Tournament of Death. As you know from previous posts, I allowed my dog, Oscar, to pick a bracket in an effort to prove that a dog unwittingly picking teams by chasing toys can do just as well in these contests as your average human.

So far, so good.

At this point, unlike many of you -- and by "many of you," I mean me -- Oscar still has his championship game participants intact.

In case you were curious, he has Butler and Kentucky playing for the title.

That might seem like an odd matchup, but oddity is a staple of this year's tournament. See: Northern Iowa, Cornell, Washington and St. Mary's.

All of that is the good news for Oscar. The bad news is that five of his Elite Eight teams have been bounced. But hey, if Duke, Butler and Kentucky win their 16 games, he's not in bad shape.

And looking down this Beat My Dog group, some of you should be ashamed. Because I'm pretty sure he won't finish last even if only Kentucky advances.

Told ya a dog could do this.
