NCAA Bracket Challenge

I just wish I had listened to reason about Miss. State like I did on all my other picks. Varnado's play in the SEC championship filled me up with some kool-aid for them that I knew I should have ignored, had them going to the Sweet 16.

There is a certain team that I can never get right on my brackets.
That team is Arizona and I HATE them! Ever since 1993 when
Arizona lost to Santa Clara in the first round... which absolutely
killed an otherwise great bracket for me! and of course this year I picked
Arizona to lose in the first round!:evil:

How dare you! Go Gonzaga, Xavier and Memphis (Super Mids!).

Now that I'm living close to Cincinnati now, I have officially adopted Xavier as my #2 team. I want to clarify that any #2 team in my eyes is light years away from my #1 (BU in this case).

I would love to see all of these super mids on the BU schedule plus the usual suspects such as NC, Duke, Illinois, UCLA, Kentucky, etc...
 
ok ok shame on me for wanting to win the brackets........I will always root for the mid major guys during the games......but I want to win :)

The first weekend usually treats me pretty well. This round is where the going gets tough. I'm sure I'll be in last place soon enough. :)

Louisville's out...

I officially picked 0 / 4 in the Final Four...

So much for thinking Memphis and Syracuse could do some damage. And all that false hope in Pitt...

And I was really just hoping that UNC would fail. Ugh!
 
I didn't participate in the bracket challenge here, but my personal bracket looks pretty bad. 1/4 for the Final Four. I had Louisville and Pitt in the championship game. I thought Oklahoma was going to play well against UNC.

Be interesting if Mich. St. and UNC can have a rematch in Detroit. Hopefully, UNC won't annhilate them again. I can't remember if Suton played in that game or not. Maybe he will make a difference.

You aren't the only person with a bad bracket. My bracket this year is one of the worst I that have ever done. I am also in charge of the office pool at work and there are a lot of bad brackets out there.

That being said, Scouter's bracket in this group is the best bracket that I have seen when comparing this group and my office pool. Nice job Scouter... so far so good on a very impressive bracket.

Thanks, Beni. Oddly enough, this was the first year in a long time where I didn't feel so good about my bracket after putting it together. Just my luck that I'd pick all four Final Four teams for the first time and not happen to be in a pool with, um, monetary compensation. ;)

Well Scouter, I am in one of those type of pools.. In that pool, if a person finishes in last place, they get their money back. and...there is no way I can finish in last place!:oops:

Congrats to Scouter with a bracket that ranked 3,933 among the ESPN brackets. TAS finished in fourth and with my 20th place bracket, I will admit that I am ashamed.:oops::lol:

Thanks again to everyone who participated.
 
Besides the fact I picked Louisville, its too bad MSU got past them because everything would have been up in the air much more if it was UL vs UNC.

Congrats to Scouter on an impressive bracket.

Only 345 days until next year's tourney.
 
Thanks. That was BY FAR the best I've ever done with any bracket. If only I made it look so easy every year...
