same.

jfar how do you start Lamar? Any other team LO would start, and I agree he's having the best season of his career, but Bynum wouldn't work off the bench IMO, if you think Bynum is slow to get into the groove now, bring him off the bench and he'll be half asleep. Pau is a starter, Artest is a starter.

I'm not dead and buried yet, I went off the board and picked all the number 1's ooh way to challenge myself, lol. I lost Kansas of course, but I have 11 teams of the sweet 16. I'm tied for 5th in a group of 40, and I have Duke over Kansas in the finals. If Duke wins I think I have a good shot, if they lose I won't win the $. $10 each entry. I'm the only one who picked Duke, one picked Syracuse, one picked Ohio St, everone else picked Kansas or Kentuky.
BTW there is some autistic guy who has a perfect bracket, he picked Purdue to win it all cuz his bro went there. He used math to make his decisions, damn' brothers holding us back. If Duke loses this weekend I'll be rooting for that guy to go perfect.
Side note, that yoked Purdue guard who broke off the entire A&M team for game point was one of the most badass crossover/drives I've ever seen for gamepoint, what is he 5'8"? There's one for us wonder breads. And dude D's up like a fiend. I'm worried for my bracket and my Dukies when Purdue faces them next week, cuz he'll probably guard my boy Schreyer.

I finished with exactly 1100 points in the ESPN bracket. I won my friends mini tourney of 33 people. We all pitched in $10 each, no clue if it was winner take all or divied up amongst the leaders. I know on a celebrity stage I beat Obama, Lebron, Dick Vitale, Joe Linardi (espn's bracketologist ESPN's #1 expert), SVPelt, Mike & Mike (both), Colin Cowherd, Matthew Berry, Tony Riali, and BIll Simmons.
My ESPN bracket was in the 96.6 % percentile, 160,167th best bracket lol. In the ESPN tournament challenge there were 92 people that picked the right championship matchup Butler/DUKE, and three of those people who picked the right final four, crazy huh?. Those stats make my bracket look less outstanding than I feel, but for me it was pretty damn good.
Here's my bracket...
http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/en/entry?entryID=3043423I'll leave you with my one of my favorite funniest sports quotes, because I'm a DUKE fan and because it's fitting...

Coolest team names. BlueDevils, Muskateers, Mountaineers, Wildcats, etc
That's what won my 9 year old a 40 person pool - no knowledge, no stats, no seeds.
Just goes to show its a crapshhot.
