Let's go Winthrop and Montana!

 

I got Winthrop upsetting UT.

 

It became too popular of a pick for me to take.

 

I got Witchita State upsetting UT in the second round.

 

Yes. That's the ticket!

 

i had Tenn over the Hall on Saturday, so hopefully my damage was limited to one game here

[dalgreen]

For the first (and probably only) time I can say I love living in Topeka, KS. The CBS affiliate here shows one game, and the Kansas City affiliate shows another. Today is a good day.

So where does everyone come down on the "Sheet of Integrity" vs. "I'm trying to win the pool" argument?

Win the pool. I don't know a single person who uses the same picks for every pool they enter.

Going with "I'm trying to win the pool" until that option stops being realistic.

Sheet of integrity. I can't feel good about calling a game if it is just on one of my many brackets.

 

But I still try to win the pool :wink:

I think its more real if I only make one pool. Use the same picks throughout.

[Derwood]

if Yahoo had allowed multiple entries, I would have entered a "coin-flip" bracket to see how I would have done

[dalgreen]

I'm 2-1, I picked Oklahoma. Why they aren't a better team, I don't know.

 

I talked myself into picking Oklahoma to the Sweet 16 even though all year I've been saying how bad I thought the Big 12 was. Stupid me. #-o

[Derwood]

this S. Alabama - Florida game is shaping up to be a slaughter. Yawn. Switch games CBS!

I rarely enter more than one pool. If I did, I'd pick new ones the next time. I don't even remember half the picks I made in the only one I did. You don't win this stuff by "knowing" college basketball.

What's more real is the fact that I don't have to make as many brackets as possible to find one that looks like anything decent. It just seems silly to me to be able to say, yeah, i had UWM in my elite 8 (in one of maybe 6 pools),

 

It is just silly.

I only did it because I have WSU winning in Rd2.

Depends on how interested you are in seeing two potential lottery picks. Noah is all over the place here....

OK Greenberg.

 

If you really take pride in picking these games, good for you. It's luck. If you win you win. There's nothing real about it except for cash.

[SouthSideRyan]

3-0 start with Winthrop(Picked 2 seconds after the pairing came out), Florida, Nevada, and Marquette winning in these next games.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Taking me to Marquette-Alabama now...

[Chocolate Milk]

I don't care enough to follow multiple sheets. I just enter one sheet and let it ride.

[dalgreen]

Exactly why I'm glad I get two different games. Also, the KC affiliate has the Illinois game scheduled tonight, while the Topeka, KS affiliate will be showing the Gonzaga/Xavier game at that time.

 

Is it a safe bet that Duke will be playing the nationally televised Saturday (12 ET) on Saturday. It seems they are always playing the first Saturday game.

 

They're finally ready to tip in San Diego.

[Mark_R]

I missed Jay Bilas.

[Andy]

I've got Tenn, Florida, Nevada and Bama winning, but UT is the only Sweet 16 team I have in this bunch, so no real concerns.

[Derwood]

ND...congrats on the NIT win tuesday. Who do you play tonight?

Thanks :) Irish get the UTEP/Michigan winner next Monday.

 

Sorry about PSU, that Quincy Douby can sure shoot the lights out when he gets hot...

[Andy]

It's possible - it's possible that the SEC has taken this throwback thing too far by having Bama bust them out in the Dance.

[Mark_R]

I've got Montana, Marquette, Tennessee (losing to WSU though), and Florida in this session.
