I think my bracket is somewhat up to par this year. I got all of the first four games correct to start it off and had a good first day for the "second round" but the next day I missed more with Lehigh and Norfolk state winning as well as st Louis, Xavier, and a couple others.

I really hoped Murray State could beat Marquette but Jay Crowder had a much better 2nd half. Hopefully NC State and Cincy can pull off the upsets.

I'm also in first place for my ESPN group!

Any watch the Indiana vs. VCU game. There were sooooooooooooo many fouls that should have been called on VCU. Luckily IU won. I am hoping that Indiana beats Kentucky. I don't really like Kentucky.

My bracket is hurting. Duke an Michigan both losing really hurt me. I was perfect in the East until Vandy lost.

I watched some and saw some controversial calls but not too many.

Wow almost all of your upset picks went the wrong way except the Florida pick.

Whew! Both NC state and Cincy pulled it out!

And my great state of Ohio is undefeated! Too bad it has to end because OSU play Cincy.

The bracket is really screwed up now, lots of random upsets that no one expected

I had FSU going all the way. My bracket is dead.

There was one that was really bad on Zeller. He got fouled a few times and then they called a foul on him for traveling or something like that.

Kansas is not gonna win. UNC is. Obama said so. And I am from North Carolina.

Honestly, as much as I hate to say it, Kentucky is probably going to win it all. They are a great team and Indiana lost to them.

Indiana lost to them.


So? Indiana isn't that great of a team. They are only a 4 seed.

They were the only ones to beat Kentucky. They weren't the greatest team but during the regular season they beat MSU, Kentucky, and OSU(all of which were top 5 at the time).

Plus seeding doesn't really matter. You could have a crappy season but then do really well in the tournament.

Of the teams that are left:
Kentucky: Will make it to the final game, probably win it all

Louisville: Going to get killed by Kentucky

OSU: Going to beat Kansas, probably lose to Kentucky

Kansas: Good team but will lose to OSU

I forgot about this. Did anybody win their brackets? How many points did you get?

I won mine with 121 points. Plus, 6 points on my next test :3

My bracket actually did extremely well. I don't really know about the points system everyone used, but I got in the 99.9 percentile on ESPN, won my school group, won my family group, won another group in school, and won a group with my friends. Using ESPN's scoring system, I got 1590 points.

Mine was horrible. I don't know how many points I ended up with. It was really bad though.
