Sweet 16 for South region is in Dallas? I have to look at locations more when picking brackets. No way Houston loses to Duke in Dallas.

I'm 21st in points so far but tied for 8th in Max points possible which is more important. However, I picked UConn and two UConn brackets can end up with more points. In fact, first place in max points possible (BigGargamel) picked UConn, so I'm guessing I could finish as high as 3rd, but maybe those others have different final fours allowing me a chance. All 4 of my final 4 is still alive.

Duke was my sleeper pick (if you want to call them that) for awhile. People slept on you guys for some reason. It's almost like people don't pay attention to the back half of the regular season and realize that Duke with McCain the way he's playing is a completely different team vs beginning of the season.

I'm going to take credit for the win


They really picked it up later in the season. Then they had that horrible 3 game stretch leading up to the tournament.

But man when they play as selfless as they did today, they just have so many weapons offensively.

With that said, not liking the matchup with Houston.

I'm doing pretttttyyyyyyyyyyyy good.

My Final Four (UCONN, UNC, Creighton, Marquette) looks solid.

If San Diego State and Houston hold on I'll have 13 of the 16 remaining teams correct. Only missed on Gonzaga, Arizona and NC State.

Of course, this is the first year in forever I'm not in any money brackets :lol: :banghead:

I'm tied for #1 in the only one that counts - RealGM one. :wink:

My final 4 is still alive. I do have a long shot in there, so I may not last long in the rankings.
