Official thread to put you complaints about your boneheaded choices.
(I am close to putting Xavier in here for myself)
-
One of my brackets I picked Xavier to win the tourney...
I'm scared
They didnt show the D that was there all season and Lavender had a subpar game.
-
Hmmm...Oral Roberts is not looking like such a good upset pick. I had Michigan St winning the next round so I guess I was hoping to get an extra point out of the deal.
-
Golden Flashes are having a tough day. Looks like that'll be my first loss this tourney.
-
I picked Temple just because they were an A-10 team. Didn't really hurt me.
-
Baylor to the Swet 16. What was a I thinking?
-
In my brackets I shortshifted the underdogs due to lack of knowldege, and, in some cases courage....
I gave Arkansas no chance, Temple no chance, Villanova no chance, and the list goes on and on....I expect a lot of "underdogs" to win their first games, but I didn't know which ones!!
The lower seeds I gave the most credit to were St. Mary's, St. Joseph's and George Mason......
-
Being a big Antoine fan turned me into a Kentucky lover......So I took them to upset Marquette because in the past my fav teams always seem to upset the team I pick to win. Bad choice. It was a good game though.
-
Thus far, the only missed has been Kent St., which I picked just because I recently met a fraternity brother from there. So right now, I am looking good (which is surprising, since I dont know too much about bball). I should've got Pittsburgh going further though. I have them ending on the next round, but after watching them play, I think they'll go further.
PS. Are you guys watching games online? It's pretty cool.

Completely agree... have Xavier in the Elite Eight and watching that game today made my head hurt. I had almost crossed them off when they were down a ton in the first half. Their offense looked horrible for most of the game, and I'm pretty worried about them. Also agree with the Baylor pick, I got sentimental and got bitten for it. Good thing it was a one round deal... let's go Xavier I guess.

I picked Kentucky, sooo close at the end.
What a game by Crawford!
-
USC is the Sweet 16. Why did I think this?
-
I try and find a few upsets evey year. My wife pretty much picked the favorites. Needless to say, she is beating me as I speak.
-
why do people do more then 1 bracket?
Thats sort of cheap.

Many of us on here are in about 3 or 4 pools. I have two brackets that are the same in two different pools and two that are different in other pools. It's just one of the National Champs you pick may not be a flashy pick and you like to have a chance if they fail in another pool.

Well, Drake has certainly made for a nervewracking afternoon. OT right now. Solid win for Davidson. Unfortunately, St. Marys couldn't do the same.

3 at the buzzer. Western Kentucky wins. Heckuva game.

I know it was you, Rogers. You broke my heart. YOU BROKE MY HEART!
I'm slowly losing my annual battle with insanity... Western Kentucky didn't help by playing amazing basketball. I hate the Korvers.
Also, I had Duke yesterday in my bracket but was still really disappointed when Belmont blew it. Has anyone ever seen a worse play out of a timeout then the one that the Belmont coach drew up? 4 seconds left, ball under basket, chance to beat Duke, and he runs a high risk play with ONE OPTION!!!!!! Off a double screen, and all Duke had to do was switch off the screen and the play was blown. When it wasn't there, the inbounder just threw it to the elbow and watched Duke pick it off. All game long CBS was talking about what a good coach Rick Byrd was, and that's the best he could do?!?! Downright shameful... no wonder he was routed by Georgetown and UCLA in his only two other appearances. This isn't the Atlantic Sun Conference anymore Rick... Coach K probably recruits guys who know how to switch off a screen on an inbound with 4 seconds left. Even if they don't, he's Coach K. He probably covered it at some point.

My bracket is a mess but at least I can say that I picked W. Kentucky to go to the sweet 16. My Pitt to the final four prediction isn't looking as good though.
-
So many teams I could pick with me sitting at 138th place. (what a fall from winning last year)
What is shocking to me is I am still tied with the most possible points (along with quite a few other players) of 880.
So if I was to go perfect from this point on (completely unlikely) there is the remote chance I could win (mission impossible)

Wow. "Mean Gerald Green" in the 99.9 percentile. That is impressive. Not a lot of red in that bracket.
