2nd chance bracket is available. So I created another group. Here is the link: http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t2/register/joinprivategroup_assign_team?GID=4367&P=atot

Group id: 4367
pass: atot




Have until Thursday morning to get your brackets done (for the men's games).

Surprised no one had started a group yet, so I did. You can create entries and join groups before selection Sunday, so join up.

Group id: 61501
Pass: atot

Women's bracket:

I created a group for the women's bracket too, for the hell of it. LOL. If you are bored and want to create a bracket, feel free.

I'm in.

 

[fustercluck]

In it to win it...though I've never done really great on College hoop Brackets.

I'm sure more people will join after today (selection sunday).

 

[davmat787]

Will probably join up later, when I have some more time. In the mean time, GO DAWGS!

hope so. It's always more fun with a lot of people.

 

[zokudu]

In but I don't expect much.

It's not as fun if everyone is self deprecating either...need some trash talk and senseless boasting. You're going down, Pyonir! And you smell bad!

 

[pyonir]

I have no doubt I'll do poorly...but I'm going down with a fight!

I can't believe Colorado and St. Mary's didn't get in.

id be in if i didnt have to create a yahoo id

 

[pyonir]

id be in if i didnt have to create a yahoo id

Because that's so difficult and takes so long. Start one on a different site then. I use Yahoo for fantasy football and football pick'ems in both NFL and college so I went with it.

 

[fustercluck]

id be in if i didnt have to create a yahoo id

Man, everyone has a yahoo ID.

 

[YetioDoom]

This is the one time a year I use yahoo

 

[ElFenix]

marked for when i remember my yahoo login

 

[pyonir]

12 people in so far. I think we can have 50. Let's get 50. lol

Apparently with Yahoo you have until Thursday to make your picks. They don't count the play in games. So everyone has until Thursday.

 

[shopbruin]

I entered.

For those who are in, which team is your homer pick? I am a huge UW Huskies fan, and I think if (and that is a huge IF, game will be played in Charlotte, assuming they beat Georgia) they can get past UNC, they could reach Ohio State in the great eight. Last year they made the sweet 16, and they are getting hot at the right time. Obviously some homerism at play here, but that is part of sports of course.

PS: Doug Gottlieb on ESPN is picking UW to reach Ohio State, but lose to them.

In.

4 BE Teams in Final Four!

Gottlieb is a thieving moron. UW would have to get past Syracuse and that ain't happening. However, I do have UW making it to the Sweet 16 to play SU.

after watching UNC play duke for the acc final the other day...they could easily lose. that was a bad, bad game for them.

guys at the office are playing, $10 a head, iver never even paid attention to college basketball outside of tarheel games *shrug*

The odds of filling out a perfect bracket are about 1/ten quintrillion

[D1gger]

I took my best shot, but I know little to nothing about college BB, I just enjoy the intensity and excitement of March Madness.

Yeah, if you fill the whole bracket completely randomly with no knowledge of the sport whatsoever. The odds are not with us though that's for sure.

My homer pick will get me in trouble :x - I'm going to get about 5 or 6 brackets total (including other leagues of course). That way one of them will at least look decent - My favorite bracket is here in the ATOT league though.

 

[fustercluck]

Is there a list somewhere of which games are on which channels? I'm having a hard time finding one. I guess every tourney game will be televised this year.

Also is there an official thread for the NCAA tournament yet?

You can look by day on the NCAA website here: http://www.ncaa.com/scoreboards/basketball-men/d1/2011/03/15

Obviously the date at the end will change, so this link will only be good for today. You can view each day and in the bottom right corner of each game listing it gives you the channel it's on.

I don't think there is an "Official". I can make this one the official if anyone wants, or if you want to create a new thread, that's fine, I don't care.
