NCAA Basketball Tournament/Brackets

[Gumboy]

Hello, is anyone else here interested in "March Madness" at all? I don't watch much college basketball during the regular season (To many other sports going on!) but I watch quite a bit of tournament ball.

My bracket is here:

http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-...ntryID=3284698

You can create one for free (At that espn page, or any other bracket site)! I am competing in the "Around the Horn" pool, so I'm hoping to do well :P

I made some pretty weird picks. Like I don't have Kentucky winning it all so I will probably be horribly wrong.I have Witchita state beating Gonzaga in the finals. (That is..kind of out on a limb I'd guess)

Go Shockers!

And go SMU, I like larry brown

(just noticed my final four is two two's and two seven's. Weird)

(Oh, it won't show my bracket until thursday for some reason. Probably because of the play in games:

"Other brackets are only viewable after the second round of the NCAA tournament begins on Thursday.")

Fuck off lmao I have Wichita St to the final four, losing to the eventual champ, Arizona!

SSSSSHHHHOOOOCCCCCKKKKKEEEEERRRRRSSSSS!!!!!

Probably because of the play in games:

I hate those so much, now that they do higher seeds. I would have Providence beating Boise St by like 3 touchdowns, but I would have Dayton beating Providence. Shit storm soup day.

I only have one bracket so far, for work. I need to put one up at ESPN or something.

And here it is:

Yeah, can't see yours til thursday either.

Go shockers! lol. Funny that we both have them getting so far (And beating Kansas, who is to chicken poop to play them in the regular season, and admits it)

I have Arizona losing in the final four to witchita state :P (Can't read my own bracket apparently)

- - - Updated - - -

My final four is Wichita State/Arizona and Michigan State/Gonzaga.

My final four is Wichita State/Arizona and Michigan State/Gonzaga.

Wichita State, Arizona, Villanova and Duke, I have Michigan St beating Virginia though and the Zags out vs the Cyclones.

Kansas is scurred of them Shockers though. They will feel it!

I really do try to pick upsets but somehow my final four is: Kentucky, Arizona, Duke, and Virginia. Kentucky beating Duke in the championship. I do think SMU goes to elite eight. SF Austin goes to sweet 16.

Those are some pretty high seeds making it! :P

I hate myself when I look at it, maybe I will talk myself into switching it up a bit.

[Gumboy]

I'm a coach k fan but I see duke as a highly flawed but talented team this year. I don't think they will get past sweet sixteen, but if they do, I could see them winning it. Then again, they are in the weakest bracket, so perhaps elite eight.

I guess their is only three of us lol!

Anyway, about snubs? UCLA over CSU is the biggest one by far imo. And UCLA does not even have to do a play in game...

[ItachiZaku]

I had Duke going decently far last year, I felt that Jabari Parker was good enough to get them a few wins. Instead... YEEAAAHHH!!! Duke is my #1 college basketball hate team, but they are pretty good (despite my Canes beating the faces off them at Cameron this season). I feel that Okafor is pretty outstanding and will take them far.


Snubs.... meh, teams on the bubble have no one to blame but themselves for being bad enough to not make it. NIT is ---> that way

[Mentia]

Yeah it seems nearly everyone agrees that UCLA shouldn't be here.

It's for the money. Everyone knows UCLA. Barely anyone knows CSU is located in Ft. Collins a few miles from the New Belgium Brewery.

My god I have a new belgium fat tire in my hand right now! And I didn't know that!

[Stommped]

Hooooosiers

Hooooosiers

hell yeah!

Brackets are now available to publically view!

Notre Dame going to get super lucky to escape its 3-14 match....wow.

- - - Updated - - -

A lot of close first round games, even the higher seeds. Interesting day so far. Wish I had more tv's in the same room!

- - - Updated - - -

Arizona showing no mercy so far lol, just stomping TXSO!

Notre Dame barely squeaked by a team whose coach made some insanely boneheaded decisions in the final seconds. Does not bode well for them.


Also I think I'm the only one on these forums that cares :P

- - - Updated - - -

For the first and only time in the tournament, I am rank 1, in the 100th percentile! Go me! (Along with everyone else that picked notre dame)

- - - Updated - - -

Omg iowa state might lose the 14-3 match to UAB! FML I picked them to get to sweet sixteen!

[Blueobelisk]

Meh. I don't have an ESPN account nor do I really follow the teams. No one is gonna get this right anyway.

[Gumboy]

My perfect bracket is ruined in the second freaking game, a new low for me!

- - - Updated - - -

#@%@ UAB just ruined like 70% of the brackets out there. Shiiiiit!

- - - Updated - - -

This is by far the earliest I've ever had my bracket tainted. FML.

[Krazzorx]

If arizona can play this well consistently, I don't think anyone can stop them till elite 8

[Mentia]

My love for SMU just helped me out early with this Iowa St. loss. I had SMU beating Iowa St. next round anyways and most people had them advancing to at least the sweet 16.

I got Arizona going to final 4, looking good so far!

[Gumboy]

Unfucking real ending to Georgia state Baylor....... 13-0 run in last 2.5 minutes to win with a three with two seconds left, the coach has a torn Achilles and flipped his shit and fell off his chair...


One of the ballsiest threes I've ever freaking seen.... And my bracket is even more ruined.

Bad year to be a three seed from the big twelve.

- - - Updated - - -

On and the coaches son scored 12 of the last 13 points. What?

So glad I stayed up to watch that lol. Thought it was freaking over lol
