The March Madness round of 16 in the men's NCAA basketball tournament takes center stage Thursday night.

The University of Connecticut Huskies, the lone New England team remaining in the tournament, square off against San Diego State University in Anaheim Thursday.

In workplaces throughout the land, white collar workers and blue collar workers, or workers who have perhaps already lost them, are keeping a close eye on the tournament. They filled out their brackets before the tournament began, and they're finding out how their picks have fared.

This program aired on March 24, 2011.
