When it comes to assembling a bracket for the tournament, it seems the less one knows, the better one does.

Case in point, reader “bracketphobia,” who, until last night’s game, was in first place in the Idiots Hoopla standings in spite of the following (wonderful) self-assessment of her basketball knowledge and picking process.

The drawing above is from her blog The League of Lost Causes, which features daily web comics.

I particularly enjoy this post called “That Hussy of a Rock,” but you will have to go to the blog to enjoy it.

The tournament-related post above goes on to include this illustration of bracketphobia’s excitement to have succeeded against such long odds.

For the time being, bracketphobia has fallen into second place, but I’m not betting against her. She trails our friend Ming by the narrowest of margins, and while Ming (who made the tragic noble error of picking Duke as champion) can feel smug for a moment, bracketphobia has a much higher PPR (points possible remaining).

As does August, who currently sits in (gasp) seventh. Good thing he’s too little to roll over, or he might do so in outrage.

More games coming tonight. Another update as a changes in standing dictate.

Now go visit The League of Lost Causes for your daily chuckle.
