You're crazy! Texas, G-Town, OSU, Texas AM, Florida, Oregon, Villanova(my suprise team), and UCLA in the elite 8!

 

[notredomer23]

[GoshenGipper]

Only two days left to sign up!

 

[irishN1]

I'm in! I have So.Ill.,Wis,UNC,OSU,my final 4.

 

[Vince Young]

My bracket is in.

Just for fun, I also put together 4 seperate paper brackets at home based on Sagarin's rankings, RPI, the polls, and just straight seeding. I'll be watching all 4 of those as well, just to see if my selections turn out any better than theirs. I figure if I can at least beat the straight-seeding picks, I'm on the right track.

Wow, me too!!

Vince Young's entry name sucks, TT does not always lose. If it wasn't for the 6'10" 195lb anorexic-looking Durant, UT would have lost. UT loses in the first round!

So, I take it you don't like me calling out Texas Tech? Here, have some research. It's delicious!

2006: Didn't make the tourney at all.
2005: Made the Sweet 16, then lost.
2004: Made the 2nd round, then lost.
2003: Didn't make the tourney at all.
2002: Lost in the 1st round.
2001: Didn't make the tourney at all.

Wow. A dominating 3-3 tourney record with 3 no-shows over 6 years? Don't I look foolish.

Please please please please please please PLEASE pick Texas Tech to go deep this year. Thank you.

I wouldn't go very far and say they will advance past the first round, but they are a lot better than they were before Knight got there.

I got my boys UCLA in the final four losing to florida (sic). Too bad they don't have the O'Bannon brothers, they were awesome in college!

Damn, I was going to have five brackets filled out. Is Fred Brown Jr. point guard for Georgetown? That would def. take them off one of my lists.....

 

[GoshenGipper]

Just one day left people!

 

[irishN1]

lep4life,are kidding me TT is better now since Knight has been there than before or am i
misreading your post?

I was saying that goin 20-10 or whatever they are, is better than the 8-22 they were doing before he got there. The men's team flat out sucked with the last coach, now they are, at least, competitive and have the ability to knock of a KU or T A&M every once in a while. ALthough, like all TT teams, they manage to lose to crappy teams that they should easily beat.

 

[irishN1]

ok i got ya,thats true what you said above.

 

[irishunclebill]

BC won.

 

[Clausen2Kamara]

Old Dominion is done! There goes one of my CInderellas!

 

[goirish#1]

Learned my lesson, pick favorites the first day!

 

[notredomer23]

I hate to say, but if butler is shooting they can go all the way and if they play D Fence

 

[GoshenGipper]

Crap, I just realized I forgot to change Purdue to Zona on my IE bracket. Oh well.
