Holy crap, this is the first time I've ever won the first 7 games. Maryland needs to stay hot for me.

[Terp]

anyone doing a bracket on ESPN know what the percent means next to total? I thought it was winning percentage but I'm 5/7 yet I somehow have 45.8%.

It's your overall percentile, so you're doing as well or better than 45.8% of all brackets. I'm right there with you.

[OleMissCub]

amazing that Miss St is only losing by 11 at the half considering they are only shooting 30 percent

[bukie]

I'm sitting at 4/7 right, which goes to show that probability and statistics really mean little in these things. :)

[Derwood]

I'm 4-3 so far. I suck at this

Digger just tore the Big Ten to shreds again on ESPN.

meh in most pools the 8-9 results mean nothing. i suppose if you were really pining for the 10 grand from yahoo then it hurts, but if you're in an office pool with 20 people, the big thing is keeping your final four and champion, not losing an 8-9 game.

 

i didn't know that isaiah thomas played for u-dubs... i feel better about picking them to go to the elite eight now.

[Prior4CyYoung]

I am 5-8 and tied for dead last in my bracket sigh.

i get what your saying, but in the (Points= seed x round) format, there the most important games until the weekend.

Yeah, the conference commissioner must have kicked him in the nuts or something the way he hates on the B10. And the awesome part of it is how he just ignores facts to try to get his point across. It's hard to make Vitale sound like the most rational guy in the room, but Digger just pulled it off.

[TruffleShuffle]

go clemson!!!

[E.J.]

Everyone on Michigan looks like they want to vomit.

[E.J.]

go clemson!!!

 

You gonna watch Penn State tonight? Oh, wait...

[TruffleShuffle]

Hooray for toilet-bowl victories!
