With so many people completely out of the first challenge, to keep things interesting for more people, if you're so inclined, I have created a second chance bracket challenge, where you make picks starting with the Sweet 16.

Password is NCAA. For contest entry, use your username from here so we will know who is who.

Well it looked good for a minute when Virginia was out...who I had winning it all...but thus the reason for the second chance contest.

Thanks for setting this up. I tried to sign up multiple times, but it didn’t accept the password.

Any advice?

It might be because you don't have an espn account. If not, you need to set up account on espn. For example, my espn account I just use the same username I use here. Then you use your own personal password.

Then once you have an espn account and are logged in, you join this group following the link above with the group password of NCAA.

Coaching.

Their coach lost composure and was very negative, even when they were still up by 7 points. He panicked and so did his players. Nevada's coach was very loose and supportive of his players.

Still hanging tough in the first pool. I think I win if my team wins the title.

So much for a second chance I lost every game last night lol. The one that really annoys me is I had Florida State going through and I changed it last second.

Holy hell. I’ve never won one of these before. If every member of RealGM could Venmo me $1 for my championship prize, it would be much appreciated.

For real though, thanks to bwgood77 for putting this together. I have a lot of stuff going on and missed my chance to fill out a bracket before the tourney started so it was cool to be able to do this.

Cronin is allergic to coaching offense well, it's kind of hilarious really. The fact they managed to get the lead they did is honestly more unbelievable to me than them blowing it. Maybe it's just me being a pessimistic fan, but that collapse didn't suprised me in the slightly the moment Nevada had a sliver of confidence.

I feel your pain.

Maryland's coach, Mark Turgeon is similar. His teams ALWAYS run undisciplined sets, and turn it over a LOT. He's finally on the hot seat. Doesn't matter how much talent (they had Melo Trimble, Jake Layman, Diamond Stone, Robert Carter, and Rashaan Suilamon... and did NOTHING in the NCAAs) his teams underperform.
