There were only two games but the 8/9 match-up certainly made up for it.
(9) Suffield-Granby-Windsor Locks 2 @ (8) Fairfield Warde/Ludlowe 1 2OT
-It took double overtime but S-G-WL pulled the upset and I got my first pick wrong. I would like to say that I love that we got a 2OT game already as the tournament, for all three divisions, looks like there will be a plethora of good and close games; it all goes back to the parity but also uniqueness amongst the teams.
(10) Farmington 1 @ (7) Hand 5
-Just the big first round win the SCC-DII Champions were looking forward as they will now play 2 seed Cheshire again in the quarterfinals on Friday.
Here is what the quarterfinals looks like now (I will update with locations when they are announced):
(9) Suffield-Granby-Windsor Locks vs (1) Guilford
-The two haven't met yet this season but I think Guilford will have no problem taking care of business in this one.
(5) Westhill vs (4) Trumbull
-First game of the tournament for the two FCIAC foes. Trumbull won the one regular season meeting on 1/27, 3-1, and I have them winning this time as well.

(7) Hand vs (2) Cheshire
-Hand may have won 2-1 last Friday in the SCC-DII tournament semifinals but Cheshire won 5-4 when the two played in the regular season on 2/17 so its really anyone's game. The bye combined with the passion for revenge, I think, gives Cheshire the edge in this one. Let's not forget who had the two seed and won the DII tournament just two years ago in 2009...the Cheshire Rams.
(6) East Catholic vs (3) Wilton
-Both teams first game in the tournament as well that helps Wilton more because, although they haven't played in longer, East could have used the momentum more. East is coming off their CCC-East Championship on Saturday but I think Wilton's speed on offense and size on defense is just too much for everyone's sleeper team in DII, the East Catholic Eagles.
