March Madness
 

We should all fill out the NCAA Tournament Brackets. Does anyone know which site is the best if you want to do it as a group? Earl was talking about Yahoo, and I think there's an official NCAA Tournament website.

Re: March Madness
 

I set up a group on Yahoo

For the time being, unless someone else has a better source.

Re: March Madness
 

I'm in! heeeeere we go! I will say that I felt a lot more confident about my bracket last year, which was pretty good. I seem to have somehow followed college basketball even LESS this year.

Re: March Madness
 

I'll definitely get in on this. For about the 5th consecutive year I'll miss the entire first and second rounds. Usually it's SXSW and this year it's Spain, but I can't really complain about getting to go to Spain...

Anyway, I'm super surprised Villanova pulled out a 2 seed. I actually like where they sit in the bracket a lot. I feel like they are a shoe-in for the Sweet 16. Temple was kind of robbed. They definitely should have at least been a 4 seed, and maybe a 3.

Re: March Madness
 

Cool, I'll just transfer the bracket I made to this group. West Virginia all the way.

Re: March Madness
 

WVU sucks!

Re: March Madness
 

We can no longer be friends. How can you hate on WVU?

Re: March Madness
 

Because I went to Pitt.

Re: March Madness
 

Shouldn't you be rooting for Wisconsin/Marquette?

Re: March Madness
 

I am, but I also know we and Marquette have no chance of winning. WVU on the other hand... I could see it happen.

Re: March Madness
 

University of Kentucky. SEC champions.

I'm glad we were awesome at least one year before I graduate.

Re: March Madness
 

In

Re: March Madness
 

Uhm I do believe that Duke lucked out again in the brackets and I don't think they deserved a number 1 seed.

And also UK BABY!

We're going all the way.

Actually I feel like we're probably going to go out being so young and all, but the OT win for the SEC tournament yesterday renewed my faith that they can do it.

At the very least I would like to see them crush texas because I want to rub it into my friend ken's face and also would like to see them play Duke so badly and win. There's only 1 way that's possible though... Final 4 baby!

Re: March Madness
 

U...C...L...A...Fight fight fight! Oh wait damn, thats right, we sucked this year. Lets see if Wall can ball. Ktown!

Re: March Madness
 

Some food for thought in the form of an easily digestible Infographic

Re: March Madness
 

I finished my bracket and in NO way did I just pull names out of a hat for winners.

Re: March Madness
 

Well hey Notre Dame just lost. There goes my bracket. Villanova almost lost too lol.

Re: March Madness
 

Vanderbilt AND Notre Dame lost? Wow, I am done for.

Re: March Madness
 

Haha you and me Both.

None of this matters though, as UK is running a train on ETSU.

This is rape. Apparently TN just loves to get raped by KY.

Re: March Madness
 

OMG Georgetown is getting wrecked right now.

I'm just going to throw my bracket away. This is so bad.

Re: March Madness
 

Yeah, I lost big on that one too. I had Georgetown in the Elite 8. I also lost big with Marquette and Notre Dame, since I had them both getting to the Sweet 16.

Re: March Madness
 

I could be wrong but I feel like there have been more upsets than usual.

Re: March Madness
 

I actually thought Washington had a really good chance at taking down Marquette. This was like the only upset I was right about.

How about Kansas having a close first half with lehigh? WTF?

Also how about Texas getting beat in Transition by wake right now? You know the 1 thing texas is good at?

Re: March Madness
 

So far I'm at 6 of 12 correct. Good for bottom of the pack. Luckily, all the picks I got wrong so far I had losing in the second round so the damage shouldn't be too permanent.

However, if Kansas loses...

(Kansas is my pick for champ.)

Re: March Madness
 

Texas and Wake Forest are now in OT, and it looks like Texas is taking over which is good :).

My whole family filled out brackets as well, and my mom just looked at it and picked randomly, since she didn't know who to pick for, and she's winning. We have a points system for when you get underdog picks, too, so it's a little different than Yahoo's point system, or the normal point system rather.

Re: March Madness
 

Texas just lost, and I just threw away my bracket. All that matters is UK makes it to the Final 4 as well as duke and then we proceed to crush Duke. I can't believe duke made off like bandits again with the easiest bracket. I thought Kansas was the overall #1 seed?

Re: March Madness
 

I think we will refer to yesterday as the day of upsets.

Everything pretty much played out the way it was supposed to today, with the exception of Cornell over Temple.

Re: March Madness
 

St. Mary's is crushing villanova right now.

What the hell?

EDIT:

I've never seen such a well played game. I know the announcers keep saying it, but St. Mary's is playing the most fundamental basketball game I've ever seen. Making plays and openings, while playing some very nice defense on the other side of the court.

Go St. Mary's.

Re: March Madness
 

All right guys, I'm done. Nova just lost, and I picked them to go to the final game. :p

Re: March Madness
 

Jesus Christ, Kansas is down by 8 at the half.

Re: March Madness
 

Man, I can't believe what just happened.

Re: March Madness
 

This is a GREAT tournament! There have been so many unexpected upsets. Kansas, Villanova, Georgtown, Notre Dame, Marquette, and Temple are out, which I would have never expected.

Re: March Madness
 

Well I'm only surprised by Kansas and nova. The other teams we sorta blech. Even nova had a lot of problems at the end of the season.

Re: March Madness
 

My brother was so pissed about the Kansas game, that was his team.

Re: March Madness

Re: March Madness
 

I have to root for all the low seeds, it's the only thing that makes sense once my Philly pride was shot to hell with 'Nova + Temple.

Re: March Madness
 

Well I honestly thought Butler had bagged Syracuse, but it's not a very close game. Washington is having a great game against WVU right now as well.

Re: March Madness
 

I think Butler's got it now! My friend Jon in the band will be pissed as a Syracuse graduate.

Re: March Madness
 

Another 1 seed falls.
