I lost one final four team (Duke). but I did pick Michigan over Louisville.

Low down in the rankings, but still among the top in possible points. Guess we'll see. The pool I did at work I went against my gut and picked Duke to win it all. Ugh.

2 "Carolinas" in the sweet 16. Worst freaking year, ever.

Last year's thread but bump anyways.

Are we doing Yahoo brackets this year? I saw that the CBS ones auto renewed on their own.

Found the auto renew next year setting in yahoo, so as long as you join at some point this year while it allows you to, should get an auto invite next year.

3 teams down in my bracket already

Had a couple of my minor picks go bad, but all of them I had losing the next game anyway.


Arizona coughing up hundred dolls bills on the court hurts though as I shifted from UVA taking that bracket to Arizona after the UVA guy broke his hand.

LOL, didn't make much difference, did it?

Now I want to know what his third choice is, to see if the lupi jinx is going full force.

All brackets busted.

Top seed number 1 Virginia ousted by the 16th seeded UMBC Retrievers for the college basketball upset of all time.

arizona and uva only sweet 16 teams I've lost so far. hate to say more the way they decide to collapse after speaking of them.

 

[dasherHampton]

I feel a lot of Schadenfreude towards Arizona.

A lot.

I even tried to watch some of that game.

Yeah, I’ve suffered through enough Bill Walton-commentated Arizona games to make me wish they never played again.

Hokies everywhere cheer as UVA makes the record books in the most amusing way possible.

You can always tell a loser program when they don't have any accomplishments of their own to be happy about and need to take joy in a rival losing.

Good to see that Tennessee basketball is as reliable as Tennessee football. The minute they look good is when you know they're doomed.

 

[lupi]

Good thing I didn't mention I have the wolverines winning a game or two. Wow.

 

[Muse]

Suffered through a few games yesterday but the last, the Ganzaga vs. Ohio State game, was pretty amazing. It really did come down to the last few minutes, although the zags had a leg up for the last several. At least the team I favored won.

I think it really helps if you aren't into ardent favoritism, but I find it hard to avoid it all too often!

Ohio State never gave up. The game ended (~1 second left) with a 40 foot swish that drew them to within about 5 points.

First time since seeding in 79 that a region didn't have any of the top 4 seeds advance past the first weekend (South Region). Only 7 of the top 4 seeds in each region (16 total) have advanced so far...possibly 8 if Xavier advances.
