After the first two rounds, and to still be in first, is amazing!!

But moving forward, I'm done.

It was fun while it lasted but I'm dropping and KY is rising so it's gonna be full of suck from here on out.

Teams that I'm never penciling in for a deep run in the tourney ever again: Iowa St., UVA, Villanova, Pitt (been that way for a while), we'll see about Wisconsin, and Gonzaga is still on my list and has been for years. I picked Kansas to lose to Wichita St., because they're basically on my list at this point, too. Bill Self is the Peyton Manning of college basketball coaches. Might get fortunate and make a deep March run on occasion, but is typically a regular season warrior.


And teams you should: Michigan State. Dang can Izzo coach in March.

I saw a stat yesterday that Izzo has been to the Final 4 more times than he's lost on the first weekend. He's something like 13-1 in the Round of 32. Absurd. :eek:

That stat is absolutely nuts. Doesn't matter how crappy his team is going into March, he gets them to flat out play in the tournament. 6 final fours, 8 elite eights, and 13 sweet sixteens. Only 3 first round exits. They have a legit shot for the final four this year.

If I hand known that before the tourney, I may not have picked UVA all they way.

How could you pick a team that has no offense to win the whole tournament? Did you let Muschamp fill in your bracket?


I went with the team that most resembled the Gator BB team - Good defense and challenged offensively (plus, they wear Orange & Blue). Oh well - it's not like I ever win one of these pools anyway.

So you picked a team to win it all because they reminded you of a sub .500 team? That is the weirdest logic I have ever heard.

3 #1's made it...go figure.

I'm now thinking Duke over Mich St. and KY over Wisconsin but I'm hoping it's Wisky vs Duke cause it sounds like what a redneck gets on Friday nights.

Looks like I got this won if Kentucky wins it all, but I'll gladly take a loss in our meaningless pool if it means Kentucky doesn't go 40-0.

I have only been wrong on one game since the sweet 16 (not that it really matters).

7 of the elite 8 and a nice lead................ but no chance to win:bananawave:


I think if Wisconsin beats Kentucky and MSU beats Duke, you still win.
