Good luck.

[NewcastleKEG]

Yes !

[Sausage]

Sent my money! Hopefully you got it, just would like a confirmation! THE CHAMP IS BACK

[DesignatedT]

You're all good. Looks like we will finish around 18 members. Pretty good showing. I will post payout information and all that tomorrow once it's set in stone.

Good luck.

[Sausage]

May the games begin! Good luck to all, and I look forward to defending my crown :)

[Flintstones32]

so who actually picked a team that finished 9th in their average conference and lost 9 of last 13 regular season games? :lol

go cyclones!!

[blkroadrunners]

Damnit, my heart wanted to pick Colorado, but my mind was going too much on rank so I picked UNLV.

I'd never figure ISU would beat UConn like that.

[DesignatedT]

I had Iowa State winning 1 time but no way anyone had either getting past UK next round. Tough draw

[Flintstones32]

ya the cyclones are toast next round. and I had put too much emphasis on indiana's away / neutral site record. I didn't think they were that good away from indiana. Oh well.

still anyone's game

[MannyIsGod]

The UNLV game was a shocker. Play that game 100 times and UNLV wins 95, but this was just one of the 5. Props to Colorado.

[DesignatedT]

New Mexico looked good yesterday. The NM/Louisville game should be a damn good one. Long Beach was no push over.

[MannyIsGod]

Its pretty much a toss up. Louisville is playing their best ball of the season and they are just as good defensively as the Lobos. I believe they are 3rd in the country to our 4th in FG %. Should be a damn good game but should pretty much kill my heart in the process.

We've never made a sweet sixteen so I'm hoping this is the breakthrough. This team doesn't have a player as good as Hobson a couple of years ago but is a deeper team overall.

[DesignatedT]

I think if Memphis can get past St Louis they could get Mich St a run also in that bracket.

Wichita State was the team that screwed me yesterday. That's what I get for picking a team i knew very little about. I just believed in the hype. Should have never gone against that VCU magic.

[DesignatedT]

Wow Florida State. Really? This would totally screw me if they lose to St Bona.

[MannyIsGod]

Memphis and St Louis are both really good and it really sucks to see them playing in the 2nd round, IMO. I think Memphis wins, but not by much.

[DesignatedT]

I agree Manny. Bad draw for both of them. I felt that way about NM and Long Beach as well.

[blkroadrunners]

A lot of close games so far. Right now Norfolk State up on Mizzou 54-52 in the 2nd half. I really don't know why NSU was a #15 seed.

[DesignatedT]

Wow Mizzou

[blkroadrunners]

If Mizzou loses this game...

[DesignatedT]

This is crazy. Mizzou will get the last shot.

[DesignatedT]

or not

[blkroadrunners]

:pctoss

[MannyIsGod]

Wooooooow

[DesignatedT]

well there goes a final 4 team for me.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Good thing I didn't have Mizzou getting past the Sweet 16. They have no depth. Why am I seeing so many people who had Mizzou going to the Final 4 or even worse, the champs? MSU is the best team in the region with the best coach.

[MannyIsGod]

I had Marquette over Miz anyway but still. My brackets are pretty torn up already. I went with the total homer pick thats pretty unrealistic but still.

[MannyIsGod]

So far St. Louis Memphis living up to expectations.

[DesignatedT]

Good thing I didn't have Mizzou getting past the Sweet 16. They have no depth. Why am I seeing so many people who had Mizzou going to the Final 4 or even worse, the champs? MSU is the best team in the region with the best coach.

Lol show up after Mizzou loses to say this.

[DesignatedT]

Indeed another great game. This year has been quite entertaining so far.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Lol show up after Mizzou loses to say this.

lol not as if I couldn't just link my bracket to show what I said.

http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/en/entry?entryID=1402163

Not like I'm doing great or anything. But Mizzou going really far is crazy. And I was cheering for them to go all the way. But they were overrated.

[Sausage]

Just curious, what are the payouts and such?

[DesignatedT]

Looks like it's over since nobody has Kansas.

1st place ($220.00): Gazelle Nutz From Hell
2nd place ($120.00): blkroadrunners.

[blkroadrunners]

:lol I have the most correct picks IIRC, yet best case scenario I end up w/ 2nd place. I didn't realize the deeper in the tournament, the more points a person can receive.

Still though, that was fun. Great tournament DT. Looking forward to next year :tu

[DesignatedT]

I'm definitely going to change the scoring up next time. I don't like how Yahoo scores it out.

[unibrow]

All I can say is go Kentucky!!!!!
