Will is feeling a bit chuffed (as they say in Australia) after he rose to number 9 in the standings after yesterday's games.
A closer look suggests that the adventurous, easy going Akers - an avid Back Street Boys fan - took a curious approach to his bracket. It appears that Will picked a grand total of six upsets in his entire bracket. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS THE CHALK PICK (i.e., he picked the higher seeded team.)
Thus, with the exception of St. John's Will's Sweet Sixteen is nothing but 1-4 seeds. His Elite Eight are all 1 seeds v. 2 seeds except for Purdue (which did not even make the Sweet Sixteen) - and even there it's not like he went out on a limb - Purdue was a 3 seed.
The irony is that Will's upset picks were ALL WRONG!
There's a record that may stand until next year.
Will's new nickname?
Mr. Vegas.
Or maybe Lance.
