I've never won a bracket challenge, be it in college or at work. We'll see how badly I do this year.

Man, East is tough. Florida State is playing well. Then you have Villanova, UCLA, Texas, and Duke on the bottom half.


The East is tough, you have Xavier in there as well. I think UConn has an easy road to Detroit. Only Memphis or Missouri could upend them. I think St. Marys got screwed. They should have made it in over Arizona. Honestly, they are the only obvious snub.

I have no idea what to do in the bottom of the east. I honestly think Texas, UCLA, Duke or Nova could all easily make it to the Elite 8.

Oh, and UCONN is going down early, Sweet 16 style.

Go Northridge, even if you will bust my bracket. At least I'm only picking Memphis to go to Elite 8.

As makeshift would say...the Butler/LSU game is nearly unwatchable. They're both horrible.

I picked the loser in both 8/9 matchups so far. Good start!

Northridge gave Memphis all they can handle. Looks like both #1 today are going to win by a lot.

Only one upset so far. The #1 steamrolled in their games, UNC won by 43, and Connecticut won by 55.

I wouldn't really call Maryland's victory an upset. Hoping ACC could go 7-0 in the first round.

No win by a mid-major (not counting Memphis) yet. Really a weak year for them.

Three higher seeds all losing right now. Clemson has been a major disappointment in the second half of this year.

Looks like I jinxed American. Clemson tried to come back but Michigan hit that one basket that probably saved them. Gonzaga has made a comeback so we still might not have our first big upset.

Western Kentucky dominating Illinois. They are pulling the biggest upset of the day. VCU could still pull another one.

Western Kentucky almost blew their game. And VCU was so close to knocking off UCLA.

Western Kentucky was a popular pick and delivered; for the most part of the game, they looked like the team that beat Louisville early in the season.

Hmmmmm, will Obama's Temple pick pan out?

I only have 6 lower-seeds beating the higher-seeds. I sorta feel like my bracket's less risky than it was in past years.

Fucking Utah St. let me down, I had them to the sweet 16. I'm now 16/20 so far, and have lost one of my sweet 16 teams. :cry:

My school looks their best. Not that it will be enough to win, but...

Missouri, on the other hand, looks horrible. Early exit next round to Marquette?

Ok, my school sucks.

Bad three-point shooting, bad defense, bad strategy.

The refs won't even call traveling on them cuz they know without it, it'd be a massive blowout :D

I'm talking to a wall, but Pitt almost lost.

Glad I picked 'Nova in the final four.
