March Madness

Yup. And Cal suspended a player before the tournament. So of course I selected the Big Fraud powerhouse, Louisville.

Pathetic-10 2-0 vs. the Big Fraud.

I like the Big Least personally... But potatoes, potahtoes...

BTQ WCC and Pac 10 a combined 4-0.... Hmmmm, is it possible for fans to chant "under-rated"?? Does that work?

Mickey McC! A banked three and two FT's to seal the deal, and SMC takes down 'Nova.

So the Big Fraud conference provides the first #2 seed to lose.

If you could update your brackets after each round I would have picked St. Mary's. The 3 - 7 seeds are all beatable this year. And as St. Mary's showed the 2 seeds are as well.

Absolutely... It kind of shows just how much of a sham the RPI ratings for the WCC were this year...

It would DESTROY my bracket, but how can you not root for Northern Iowa. Leading by 11 with 11 minutes to play.

I would be willing to sacrifice my pick to win it all to see the mid-major knock them off.... GO NORTHERN IOWA! (I will buy my own bucket of beer to enjoy).

Haha - CBS highlight factoid: WCC 3-0 Big East 4-5

My bracket is already Destroyed. Go Northern Iowa!

And UW from the Pathetic-10 is cruising to the Sweet 16. Guess west coast basketball not so bad!

After discovering Kyle Whelliston's Mid-Majority this season I've been rooting for all the mid-majors.

Wow, Northern Iowa!

Northern Iowa - do you believe in miracles!

p.s. thank goodness for the internet - dumb CBS going back and forth to UW with a 21 point lead as KU falls!

And with a 1 point lead and 28 seconds left on the shot clock, the UNI kid takes a three! Ali! Ali!

About 97% of America did not pick that one.

Or you could just live in my time zone where we got the whole game! Jealous much?

14 people on the PN bracket challenge had Kansas as the eventual champion. Maybe my bracket isn't that bad after all.

You are welcome blacksheep.

Although I think I have picked Kansas 7 of the last 8 years...it did pan out once though.

Yeah... I should just change my bracket name....

I only have half the final four left, but I can still have both teams in the championship game. Scenario generator says I can still catch R45, but I need some major help.

Mostly I'd like to thank Woodless! for keeping me out of the basement

Northern Iowa - Why the games are played!

Now that my bracket is worthless, i am rooting for a N. Iowa v. St. Mary's final. I'll also root for Butler and Cornell to get to the final four.

Hey, my pick loses, and my overall standing improves.

BTW, is the fix in? Our administrator has a commanding lead in possible points. There is no way he picked SMC to beat 'Nova! HE must be "updating" his bracket or something.

Yeah, and somehow his family memebers move up in the standings when their picks lose...

I am officially eliminated. Looks like I owe $'s for beers in LV.

I'll send a money order to Vegas so that the winner can get a bucket 'o brews.

I'll procure a case of Schmidt to have PNut take down... Anyone want to wager on how many of those animal clad cans actually make it to Sin City??
