My roommate and I filled out brackets on espn.com. Going in to yesterday's games, I was doing terrible but my roommate was ranked #172 out of the 6 million or so that entered brackets on espn.  He was in the 100.0 %ile. He had Zona winning it all. Neither of us know much about bball.

damn...did not expect the Jayhawks to go down to Kansas.

The winner of my other pool now will depend on if UNC wins today...If UNC loses, the winner wont have any teams in the final 4...Ridiculous

Really, I thought that the Jayhawks losing to Kansas would be impossible...

I've heard that, too, but VCU beat Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and Kansas; so, at what point do they get credit for being good rather then their opponent playing poorly?

Hey, I was just making a dumb joke. Did somebody at Kansas actually say that about themselves? I'm not paying attention anymore since I have no hope of winning the pool.  ;)

Saw a thread on ESPN that 10 people nationwide have both VCU and Butler in their Final 4.  :o

I can see one....gotta figure students and allums are homers, but both? Wow!

Saw one person has UConn,VCU,Butler and Kentucky. Pretty damn impressive.

Well, I was making a dumb joke first!

:embarassed:
I was in one other bracket and I got last place in it.  Of course, both of my brackets were pretty similar.  I have become completely uninterested in basketball over the last several years.  It started with NBA and then trickled to college hoops.  I hate it because I know there are some really great games in the tournament, I've just gotten to where I just don't care about them.  So there, I didn't want to win this stupid bracket anyway.   ::)

Oh shit, I forgot about this! And I believe it was determined that you picked UConn to win, because you did enter a tiebreaker score. However, even with another 32 points, you didn't catch up to Hawkeye.

Thanks y'all!  Wish I could honestly say it was all skill, but I'd be a liar.  It was fun...losers!  Haha, I kid, I kid.  Just enough money to pay to get my taxes done.  Sweet.  Next year I pick the Hawkeyes to win it all  ::)
We could.

Two things I learned: STOP going with the Orange past the first few rounds and NEVER start making your picks 10 minutes before the deadline.
