UPDATE: Standings Thru The Weekend:
\n 1. Bonner = 42 pts
\n Teams Remaining: Louisville, Mich. St, Duke, Ohio State, Kansas, Michigan, Florida, Indiana, Syracuse, Miami
\n Final Four Teams out: NONE
\n 2. Gray = 40 pts
\n Teams Remaining: Louisville, Michigan State, Duke, Ohio State, Indiana, Miami
\n Final Four Teams out: VCU, Gonzaga
\n 3. Stillman = 37 pts
\n Teams Remaining: Louisville, Mich. State, Duke, Ohio State, Kansas, Florida, Indiana, Syracuse, Miami
\n Final Four Teams out: NONE
\n 4. Ryan = 36 Pts
\n Teams Remaining: Louisville, Mich. State, Ohio State, Kansas, Michigan, Florida, Indiana, Miami
\n Final Four Teams out: NONE<\/p>\n

*Chris Ryan had the biggest upset of the weekend, as he correctly chose #14 Harvard over #3 New Mexico
\n*In the 2nd round, a correct winner yields 1 point. In every other round a correct winner yields an additional point. Kevin Gray, while he is in 2nd place, is probably a long shot to win since two of his Final Four teams are out.<\/p>\n

The Sports Guys of WKXL are challenging each other to see who has the best Bracket. Amongst the challengers are the following:<\/p>\n

1. Jared Stillman- The host of New Hampshire Sports Night boasts firm knowledge of the tournament having been a part of three women’s tournament teams in past four years, including being part of a National Championship loss in 2009. Stillman is a graduate of the University of Louisville and believes they will go all the way.<\/p>\n

\"Jared<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Matt Bonner- The three-point shooting specialist formerly known as the “Red Rocket”, the Red Mamba boasts an impressive resume himself. In 2000, Bonner was part of a Florida Gators team that finished as the National-Runner up losing to Michigan State. For 2013, Bonner has the Gators again falling in the National Championship to Louisville.\"Matt<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Chris Ryan- The New Hampshire Now host who hybrids as a sports expert, might be the real underdog in this race. Ryan’s prediction that the New York Yankees will finish with a better record than the Toronto Blue Jays are one of the many reasons that the odds makers in Vegas don’t trust his judgement. Will we see a Butler-like run from Ryan? Doubtful.<\/p>\n

\"Chris<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Kevin Gray- The “KG” checks in late, but did make it in time for the “call to the post”. The “Gray Matter” author and co-host of The Life with Matt Bonner knows, just as Stillman has been saying all year, two things: 1. Louisville will win it all and 2. Chris Ryan will not win this contest
