I'm with ya vance. I have UNC in the Elite 8 but I wouldn't complain one bit.
-
Looks like the best player on North Carolina is back and will start today against LSU.
-
I'm going to be sweating out Washington/Purdue. Have the Huskies in the elite 8.
-
Yeah, I'm all for rewarding upset picks, but I think what people are trying to say is that it shouldn't influence your actual opinions so much, by making the entire score be basically about how many upsets you picked.
-
I missed the two best sessions of the first round. :( I had Wake winning two games so I'm still okay, especially because very few people had Arizona or Cleveland State coming out of that pod. Three Sweet 16 teams down now, but none beyond that.
-
I've had two 4-0 blocks - I also went perfect through the 7 pm session last night. Must be a magical time, 7 pm.

someone has in the past He would've gotten more than some of my past wild card picks.
-
My only 12-over-5 pick, Arizona, has been winning the whole game and I am waiting for them to blow it.
-
Even you can't get me to root against Purdue in sports. I just root against you in life. He sure helped me root against Purdue in sports. Though Chris Kramer had more to do with it.
-
maybe it's because i picked utah st to go 2 rounds, but i'd like to think they're a pretty good team. their 30-4 record coming into the tourney would at least argue that. Oh, I'm sure they were good, but they also played like ass for the first half. Marquette should have been up by more at the break. It was when USU started playing well in the second half that things got interesting.
-
I'd like to thank Alex Ruoff for going absolutely nuts twice against Notre Dame to knock us out of the tournament, then crapping the bed when I pick WVU to win two games in the dance. Thanks, punk. The Big East is 6-1, but 5 of the wins were slam-dunk picks and the 6th was Marquette playing like crap against USU. Round 2 should shed a little more light on things.
-
I have Michigan State in the title game, but I'm starting to think Louisville will have to lose before the Elite Eight to make that happen.
-
Double post
-
Well, as much as I'd like to take a QB here, I think Carolina moves to replace recently-released Ken Lucas. So Carolina chooses CB Cary Harris from USC. Dew, you and Skyballer are on the clock with the Giants.
-
Am I picking what I want them to do or what I think they will do? I have a different vote for each.
-
If you are going to pick a Big Ten team to do well don't pick the one that just lost a starter. I didn't know that when I picked and I'm too stubborn to change my bracket. And I would've picked your Boilers to go farther if they weren't playing a Pac-10 team out West in round 2.
-
ND pulls an escape on a Tory Jackson layup with 2.2 seconds left. Hopefully, Kentucky beats Creighton - Kentucky at ND would actually be interesting enough for me to go, even in the NIT.
-
I had Illinois in the Sweet 16 by default (I was going to have whoever I picked from that game to beat Gonzaga). This sucks.
-
Yeah, retiring this number for Maddux is absolutely stupid.
-
We get another one on Thursday. An equally exciting matchup with New Mexico.
-
I wouldn't have UNC in the Elite 8 in any other region. But they drew, in my opinion, the weakest region by far. I don't think anyone besides Oklahoma in that region can beat them unless something abnormal happens.
-
I don't either, but I don't distrust them THAT much. I have them in the 16, but only because I have Temple beating ASU.
-
I'm pretty sure he always does.
-
I'm reminded: Are we going to do an NSBB Facebook bracket group this year as well?
