NCAA College Basketball Tournament

It's easy to predict the the future in sports, but It's more difficult to view the results after your predictions. The NCAA Tournament selections have been announced. How did we do in our picks?

1. SportProjections.com picked 64 out of 65 teams correctly in the tournament. (ESPN.com 65/65 - CBSSportsline.com 64/65)

2. The one team we missed was St. Joseph's. We selected Arizona State over St. Joe's. Do we smell some East coast bias? The reasons we selected Arizona State over St. Joesph's:
