Damn, didn't know the cut-off was yesterday, I've got no bracket his year

Anyone not picking Kentucky to win it?

How many cheap calls does Syracuse need to squeak by a 16th seed?

I picked Ohio St. over UK. I don't think Calipari has the chops to win it.

Pathetic officiating to help Syracuse. I hope they lose in the second round, no matter who they play.

Dammit, I was going to take VCU for the not-so upset and I didn't.

I'm 11-11 so far, but I'm already regretting picking Colorado. Stranger things have happened, though!

My final four is UK, Mizzou, Florida St, and KU.

Mizz over Florida St. '

I have Ohio State over Mizzou.

I've got UK, Mizzou, Ohio State (I thought hard about FL State--would have taken them next over Vandy or Syracuse), and Temple. I have no logical reason for picking Temple. Just figured on an upset team will make it somehow.

In another bracket, instead of Temple, I stuck with UNC over KU.

I have a man crush on Aaron Craft. I just love his D. At least twice a game, he does something based on pure effort and energy than ends up resulting in a turnover for the other team.

I might win my Colorado / UNLV pick, but Drummond and Lamb are letting me down v. Iowa St.

Cody Zeller might be better than Tyler Zeller, already. Can't wait to see Indiana match up with Kentucky again.

Roberson of Colorado is very underrated.

Royce White and ISU might not be done if they get past UConn.

I really like Drew Gordon of New Mexico.

Another guy's team got eliminated, Nate Wolters. His stat line was impressive. PJ III had 2 points, but 11 rebounds.

My bracket basically is Memphis dependent. I have them getting to the championship game.

Bracket Busted!!!! MO loses to Norfolk, I had them in my Final Four. That's why they call it March Madness.

Just lit my bracket on fire.

What has two thumbs and had Mizzou winning it all?

Man, I was feeling awful about my bracket today, barely .500 in the early games (after 13-3 from yesterday).

But then I saw the end of the Norfolk St miracle. Heh heh - for some reason, I had Marquette over Mizzou in the Sweet 16, so this doesn't hurt me so much. Sorry for everyone else, though.

:biggrin:

Wow, I had them going down to Ohio State in the Final. They were my dark horse to win it all.

Norfolk State had virtually an all-senior starting 5, but still, that was a huge upset.

Some really good games today so far; go Lehigh!

Severn Hoos · Post #20 » by **Severn Hoos** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 1:42 am

I have never, EVER been happier to tear up my bracket!

(Oh, and my great-grandfather graduated from Lehigh, so I'll claim them as a legacy!)
