Last call for players :) You got about 3 hours before the brackets lock.

This is stickied!

Well, I'm actually [s]6 for 6[/s] 7 for 7 so far...
Unless my bracket here is slightly different from my one on Facebook, which is possible. But still, I'm not a bad guesser...

Why do all you people have Kevin Durant beating North Carolina?

Hey, I only counted two who had that... Still, some people have them losing to Michigan State, and that wouldn't surprise me a ton.

That would surprise me, not just because I have UNC winning it all, but because Michigan State is a one man team just like Texas.

We'll see...

It's tournament time. Even the best team can have a bad game. Bad game + March = free trip home.

Cause Durant's gonna get one huge win before Rick Barnes coaches his team into the dirt.

I'm confused about how I should feel. On one hand, I did have them winning more than one game (They won 2 in my "money bracket", so that kinda sucks) on the other hand, Duke lost, and that makes me happy. Very happy...
REMEMBER THE SPECTRUM!!!!

I'm so glad Duke lost that it doesn't even bother me that I picked wrong on my bracket.

Also: REMEMBER THE SPECTRUM!!!

The one good thing for both of my brackets is that the teams I messed up on aren't going too far in my brackets anyway..
There's nothing worse than losing one of your elite 8 teams on opening day (I've done it, curse you, Coppin State!).

I don't have any big upsets picked today, but my "money bracket" has Arkansas winning (edit: I have the Vols winning today as a 12 seed, too). Other than that, I'm hoping things, more or less, follow the way the committee seeded the teams.

If Creighton loses this, I'm completely done for. Dang, I started out pretty good too.

My only chance of winning is if I go perfect from here on out.

In the other league I'm in, if Ohio State or Florida gets knocked out, it's pretty much wide open... There are 150 brackets in there, and only 10 have teams other than the Buckeyes and Gators...

In another league I'm in, I've got a bracket with 28/32. I probably won't be so lucky in future rounds, but here's to hoping.

I was sure Nova would beat Tubby, too. However, in the hrwiki one, those last 4 games were tough ones, for some reason I had a brain fart and picked 3 upsets in 4 games. 3 mistakes right there. :)

If you guys want to guess who is gonna' win, I'll tell you right now. It's Kansas. NSA is right there in the word. Its a whole lot easier when you already know what the other guys are going to do. Also, make sure you put the teams from Christian schools up top, they will be aided by more than Gatorade.

Don't worry, Kansas will, and it won't even be close :-(

You know, most people would be happy with the season the Wildcats had this year. Most people aren't Kentucky fans. It's been 9 years since the last championship.

One of my friends knows no more than I do about college basketball, i.e. very little, and he currently has 30 of 32 right (he is 244th on all of Facebook). It's ridiculous. As for me, I've lost 3 of my sweet 16 teams already.

If you needed proof that God doesn't care who wins basketball games, notice that Notre Dame, Oral Roberts, Holy Cross, and BYU are all out already.

God has turned his back on basketball. Kentucky's last couple of sub-par seasons have proven that. :-P

How about that Ohio State game today?!? Best game played in Rupp all season. I suspect that game's "best played in Rupp" status will be at risk next week when the KHSAA Boys Sweet 16 takes over Lexington.

So you think I'm funny, eh'? And by that do you mean funny or "funny"?

So far all but one of the teams I picked have won.

I gotta say, I've been impressed with the way the games have been today. All have been VERY high quality games. March plus multiple OT = good.

Hey Sree, your bracket just took a nice hit. Let's go Tar Heels.
