The Tournament

Luke celebrated his first March Madness this year by submitting his picks to the Harrison Family pool.  We decided to use his stuffed animal collection to help with the making of the picks, though sadly we are heavy on elephants, hippos and monkeys, and light on Jayhawks, Demon Deacons, and Huskies (at least there's only one set of Huskies this year).  He seemed to especially favor the little lion we called the closest thing to a wildcat, as he has both Kentucky and Villanova in the Final Four.  Once they were both there, we allowed our two wild cats to play the part of the respective Wildcats.  Luke went with Frank and Kentucky.  As you can see from the below clip, Luke put a great deal of thought into each pick.  In an effort to help him complete the picks on time, we advanced the top 4 seeds in each region to the sweet 16 for him.  He picked all of the remaining first round games, and all of the games from the sweet 16 on.  After day 1, he's tied for the most correct in the pool, and he's beating his father by 3 games. 
Go Duke!
