Title: NCAA Tournament Challenge 2017?
Post by: dwlefty13 on March 12, 2017, 08:05:41 PM
Hello Everyone!

It is that time of the year again for the NCAA Tournament! I was wondering if there is any interest in creating a Celticsblog Tournament Challenge this year? I am not sure if this is something done already within the blog but thought I throw this out as a suggesting if people are interested. If so, depending on which platform is most popular (ESPN, Yahoo, TheScore, etc.) we can create a Celticsblog Tournament Challenge.

Thoughts?

I would be down for it. Sounds fun. Now that cuse isnt even in the field I dont have to throw my bracket away by picking them to go all the way.

Lol, I would say it depends on how many people join by Thursday. Assuming more people the more TP's? Not sure if its feasible though. Maybe something like a TP for every person signed up. So for example if 50 people join the league then the winner gets 50 TP's?

I'm in. Achieving the impossible has always intrigued me. Can't seem to shake Iowa State as an early sleeper..Villanova, I assume won't repeat, but, they look tough.

Have a feeling Wichita State may ruin some brackets this year. Well rounded team in the Top 20 in offensive and defensive efficiency. I know they did not play a lot of top 50 teams nor the talent of players of years past but they have the depth to make a good run and possibly upset UK in the Round of 32.

might as well just give me my tommy points now.  of course this is like my 5th bracket, so I put my alma mater pretty far and that means they will lose in the 1st round and I will be done.

Beat of luck to you. I am sure we all will have a messed up bracket because of some no name university making it deep in the tournament (i.e., George Mason 2007).
