Re: March Madness: The Thread

It's all Duke's now! GO TAKE IT

[Careless]

Total bracket carnage. I'm down to one final four team, and that's not even bad at this point.

Dear whoever wins the Duke-Baylor game,

 

Please beat West Virginia in the National Semifinal. I've had a better bracket than my wife all four years we've both filled out a bracket and I'd prefer for that streak to continue.

 

Thanks.

[Andy]

I think WVU is the best team left, but I also think Baylor matches up fantastically with them. If Baylor beats Duke I think that's a fascinating national semifinal.

[Flames24Rulz]

Not one Final Four team. Ouch. I knew I should've just picked Butler over K-State.

 

I'm hoping for a Butler-Baylor final.

[bukie]

If Baylor and Tennessee make the Final Four, that would make 3 first time FF participants and a fourth that hasn't been there since 1959.

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm the only one in either of my pools to have Butler in the Final 4. Of course my disaster of a first round means, I still got nothing out of it.

[Formerly Snayke]

Kentucky was 4-32 on 3-pointers? At some point don't you have to stop taking 3-pointers? Twenty-two offensive rebounds. Sixteen turnovers. Ten assists. What a mess. I picked Kentucky to lose because they weren't that great of a shooting team, but those shooting stats look Mizzou-esque.

[bukie]

West Virginia's weakness on D is 3-point defense. Kentucky was ill-equipped to take advantage.

[Sammys Boombox]

Well, 1-for-2 today. Really wanted to go into tomorrow with the chance at getting all four in. Unfortunately, the one that's out is the one I had winning it all.

If you're interested in batcrap crazy, find your way over to Catspause and check out Rupp's Rafters. It's just funny how insane that part of the Wildcat fanbase can be.

what a great tourney. i had four brackets. 3 of them might be the 3 worst i've ever filled out.

 

the fourth is also bad, but it looks like it's going to win me 50 bucks.

And no number one seeds.

[Andy]

KSU's loss made my max high finish 4th in a 3-guys-get-paid pool. Oh well.

 

SportsCenter just said Truck Bryant is going to play in the Final Four on his broken foot. That's insane.

1 of 8 elite eight teams. one. ONE. WHAT THE [expletive] WAS I DOING?!

I thought my bracket was bad. I had four Elite Eight teams but missed on the whole Final Four.

 

Amazingly enough, had there been a Butler-Kentucky-Baylor-MSU final four with anybody but Kentucky winning it, I would have won my wife's office pool and if Kentucky had won, I would have finished third.

 

Best first round I've had in years and everything after went to [expletive] quickly.

Luckily I don't (/can't) do pools for money. I did my bracket 30 minutes before tipoff of the first game, and for some reason I went completely anti-chalk. Whoops.

[Guest]

Just out of curiosity, who did you have in your Elite 8 and beyond?

[NCCubFan]

i liked how elmore's first comment to the butler coach was about how excited they had to be about going to indiana. the butler coach kindly told him that butler is IN indiana and they were going there after the game either way.

You'd think Elmore would know that, since he himself spent the first half of his pro career in Indiana with the Pacers.

[tfarks]

I had 6/8 elite 8 teams. The only team I will have in the final 4 is Baylor, hopefully.

[Derwood]

Baylor is the only Final Four team I have left

[bcl412]

I actually got one final four team right and Duke is still alive so I could have 2 final four teams and a team in the title game. That's not too bad compared to what it sounds like everyone else has.

[Terp]

I got West Virginia right and have Baylor pending. Somehow my bracket on espn.com jumped up from 75% to 91% this weekend, just shows how bad of shape everyone is in.

[Andy]

It's complete bitterness on my part, but I don't want to see a BSU transfer who wasn't really any good when he was here (Melvin Goins) in the Final Four. Couple that with Izzo and I'm definitely rooting for the Spartans here.

[Guest]

I'm rooting for MSU because it wouldn't be right to root against Calipari and than somehow root for Pearl's team.
