Another year, another tournament. I may only be speaking for myself here, but this is the greatest sporting event there is, and I'm not even a huge fan of basketball.

So far so good for me. Unlike most I didn't have Louisville in the 8 or 4 round... Lost By one point, ouch!

It goes against my being, but I have MSU losing tonight

Let's here it, who's your team, who do you have winning it all.

Pulling of OSU here.

Mac-Apple · 18 March 2011, 11:45 AM

I have OSU in one bracket ,and Uconn in the other. Kansas is the biggest fraud of all the #1 seeds.

GothamG8or · 18 March 2011, 12:26 PM

I have Florida beating Duke in the finals. And yes, that is based on emotion/wishful thinking... not unbiased analysis!

NuHuh...

I have them in my final 4, I havent seen Kansas play all year, I sure hope they prove you all wrong for my sake.

This is a sad year for me, take look at the avatar, pic in front of the Sparty statue on campus. Die hard State fan, and I have picked UCLA to win... Broke my heart a little. Worst team I've seen in 12 years, not what you would expect for a coach with 6 final 4's in 11 years...

Kapture1 · 18 March 2011, 12:51 PM

So far so good. The only twompics I have wrong is Butler and Penn St.
I was even right on Richmond and Morehead St. I'm scary good.

Insert Rick Pitino loses to "morehead"state jokes here...

The joke is on my bracket pool, only one who called it

Kapture1 · 18 March 2011, 02:38 PM

Ouch, St Johns hurt me a bit

Yeah St. Johns was a popular pick. The won a lot of big games but they were extremely inconsistent.

mtrunner · 19 March 2011, 05:26 AM

Wow Michigan crushed Tenn. I cannot believe how bad Tenn. played.

kareemthedream33 · 19 March 2011, 05:27 AM

That is all.

That's ok, I had Tenn losing to Duke.

As long as UofM doesn't beat Duke...

Kapture1 · 19 March 2011, 08:10 AM

Come on Flordia State, finish strong...

Mac-Apple · 19 March 2011, 10:14 AM

Top 1100 on espn tourney challenge!!! Can I get a cookie for them skills :D:D

mtrunner · 19 March 2011, 09:54 PM

Some good games today. I think Gonzaga is going to upset BYU if you can call that an upset. And a 12 or 13 seed is guaranteed to make it to the Sweet Sixteen depending on the winner of the Morehead St./Richmond game.

That's the game I wanna watch. I think that Byu will be overmatched. The St John and BYU would have been more of a similar match up.

Still correct on final 4, 8/8, 14/16 on one bracket

And

still correct on final 4, 7/8, 15-16 on the other.

Not a bad day yesterday. Currently third out if 62 people, and I still have tons of potential points.

Kapture1 · 20 March 2011, 01:36 PM

So, anyone have Butler v Wisconsin in the Sweet 16? I sure didn't.

Still first place, i think anyone with a chance to win my pool had Pit going far, so that didn't hurt me too bad.

Stupid BYU

I know Gonzaga decided not to show up. I think a majority of people thought Pitt would at least make the sweet sixteen. March Madness in full swing.

enronforme · 20 March 2011, 11:52 PM

I've got Uconn going to the finals with Kansas- if that pans out I'll be golden. I know Matt had OSU going far, but ughhhh...living in ohio that's all I hear (and I have a kid @ osu! )

My old school, University of San Francisco is not in NCAA or NIT, it's in C.I.T.
They've won 2 straight, defeated Idaho.......defeated U of Hawaii last night....exciting game.

Tuesday vs. our ancient bay area rival Santa Clara U.
Go Dons!

I never even heard of the C.I.T. I had to look it up. I cannot believe there is now a third tournament.

Kapture1 · 21 March 2011, 04:59 AM

Glad N.C. Pulled through. Need Duke to crush Michigan now.

That would hurt everyone in my pool, but you never know. Lots of ball to be played.

OSU seems to be head and shoulders above the field tho. I have no problem putting them on top because I'm a Michigan State fan and I... do not care for U of M all that much.

kareemthedream33 · 21 March 2011, 11:25 AM

Devastated that my alma mater Michigan came so close to knocking off Duke but came up short. Very proud of the team. However, all the stars return next year and this is going to be a dangerous team next season. The program is on it's way back to glory.

Mac-Apple · 21 March 2011, 11:34 AM

So far I am tied for 1st in my Tourney pool. Just need a couple more wins and I am golden for 500$

Bmonroy17 · 21 March 2011, 03:09 PM

Go F L O R I D A S T A T E ! ! !

A very young team, I crack jokes about Michigan all day, but to see them rise again, not just in basketball, but football as well, as long as Michigan State always beats them, that would be cool, and I hope the best for them...

Florida State hurt me a little, and since most people near the top, myself included, have Ohio state winning, it all depends on what variation wins out. Currently I'm in second, if Kansas, OSU, Duke, and Flordia hit the final 4, I should be in good shape.

Kapture1 · 25 March 2011, 11:33 AM

I need BYU to lose.

U Conn made me very happy

Kanger · 25 March 2011, 11:45 AM

My avatar hopefully will go all the way, just like we did in 2009.

At least one more game for my sake.

At this point I am almost guaranteed to rake home 350 bucks, just a few more wins and I'm all set.
