Don't worry, refs bailed us out. Zion's double charge sending me straight to the shower to get that slime off of me.

My bracket is still busted. I picked Buffalo to go on a Butler type run and to the final four

I do have Liberty in the sweet 16 so if they win that will help.

Yep. You are correct. That tip in looked good. Just rolled across the rim.

Absolutely 100% Duke should have lost. They got out played by UCF.

I'm only down 2 of my sweet 16 teams thus far. i have high reliance and risk on TN and UM though.

i really didn't even care about the outcome, but my stomach took a dip as that ball tightroped the rim. even though i have Duke winning it all, i was cheering for UCF.
UCF needs to join a power 5.

ACC is too crowded with FL schools already lol. Big 12 definitely needs teams, and would be a counter attack behind the lines in SEC country... Big 10 needs to move south too. If they went to the PAC, they'd be the best Football and Basketball team in the conference LOL bahahaha

Isn't there some sort of state legislation that says no more FL teams can join the ACC or SEC because FSU/Mia and UF saw the rise of UCF and USF and blocked them?

somebody on the board mentioned that some states have laws keeping some of their schools either out of D1, P5s, or out of specific conferences. Nothing confirmed about UCF though. i can see that kind of sillyness holding up in federal court.

it's so funny UCF is arguably the best FB and BB school in FL. how are they in baseball lol

Friday games were rough but I eventually ended up picking 15 of the 16...only one missed was TX Tech.

2 and 6 in the 8/9 and 7/10 match ups hurt though.

Just checked my work bracket and realized I went 16 for 16. This pool pays out $500 to the top 5 brackets and has 644 entries. Fingers crossed...

 

[gkIrish]

I am currently first in a DraftKings tournament that pays out $20,000 to the winner and also have the most potential points. Obviously, I'm nervous.

 

[ACamp1900]

I'm starting to suspect just randomly picking teams without watching all year may not work out as well as i thought....

Nice. I haven't pulled that off since the 90's.

How do they score? Best of 63 or weighted by rounds?

I watched less basketball this year than any other year so...

Weighted by rounds so I have a long ways to go. Auburn beating UNC would really help.

Don't forget me when you win!

I bet less than 20k would pay for this site...

15/16 (Buffalo)

I hate to see any team's players' when their season ends. The Duke/UCF game was a thriller. The call on Tacko was questionable. Without that, Duke is behind one and he is still in there at the end.

I have to root for Oregon, the only seed lower than five, and would like to see some chaos. I do have them upsetting Virginia and would love to see them in the Final Four. But, I picked Tenn over them in the EE. The Ducks were down to eight scholarship players at one point and might be wrecking some havoc should Bol Bol not been out for the year.

NM St almost beat Auburn who beat Kansas by handily. We could have seen them in the Sweet 16.

Play on.

 

[Irish#1]

I wasn't surprised that Purdue beat Nova, but I was surprised they hammered them as much as they did. I expected Nova to come out in the second half and make a run, but the Boilers started the second half like they finished the first half never giving Nova a chance. If the Boilers keep playing this way, they will make the Final Four. Boiler Up!

 

[Irish YJ]

I cheer for PU and TN as long as they are not playing ND, or IU....
While I do like TN, I'll be cheering for PU tonight. Sucks they both are in the same region.
A PU win will crush my bracket though lol.

 

[Irish2155]

My wallet is rooting for all the 1 and 2 seeds, but I'd kind of like to see Purdue move on.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I suck...

Boilers looking strong so far.

 

[Irish2155]

Sooo many bricked free throws for the Vols.

 

[Irish#1]

Keep laying them. I expect UT to come out strong in the second half.

Very nice half by PU. Very bad by TN. I'm sure things will equal out a bit, but PU should win unless they "help" TN out...

FSU fighting back. Need them over Zags.

 

[Irish#1]

Time to see if the Boilers can pick up the D
