99th, but a higher PPR than almost everyone on the first page

Feeling good, feeling great

3/19/2012 12:21:12 AM

I'll happily take a busted bracket by beating Kansas. happily.

first place feels good right now

MSU was a GREAT sleeper pick to win the title if you were going to go against Kentucky. Almost no one picked them despite them being right on that level.

Just so tough to pick against Kentucky unless you went with tOSU/Kansas this year.

If you're competing locally picking UNC is probably the worst thing you can do.

13.5% of people in ESPN brackets picked them to make the Final 4, 7.5% picked them to win it all

the only teams more people picked to win it all were Kentucky and UNC, so, you're dumb

3/22/2012 10:37:26 PM

haha

3/22/2012 10:39:01 PM

yeah 7.5% is nothing considering they were one of the best teams in the country.

Personally, I think tOSU was the pick this year if you had more than 60 brackets in your pool.

I went with Kentucky because i was hoping a lot of people would pick UNC and others would go against them.

3/22/2012 10:53:39 PM

i have Kentucky beating UNC in all my pools, because that makes the most sense mathematically, 2nd is UNC over Kentucky...and nobody filling out brackets could foresee Marshall breaking his wrist (from basketball at least)

and 7.5% is nothing compared to 100% but Izzo is also like 0-6 against Roy and probably just as bad against Calipari

35.1% picked Kentucky to win
17.9% picked UNC to win
7.5% picked Michigan State to win
7.1% picked Missouri to win
6.2% picked Kansas to win
5.1% picked Syracuse to win

when the two best teams in the country are the only teams picked by more people than the Spartans, i'd hardly say "almost no one picked them"

3/22/2012 11:04:38 PM

considering MSU, OSU, and Kentucky are all basically on the same level its pretty crazy that 35% picked Kentucky and 7% picked MSU and 5% or less picked OSU.

Missouri 7% is just bizarre, they were a borderline top 10 team, def not top 5.

Kansas is understandable because they are right there too.

Syracuse I'm guessing people picked before Melo got suspended or they just looked at their win/loss record and don't really follow basketball.

3/22/2012 11:25:33 PM

in my main pool, i have Kentucky beating UNC in the finals, the only person ahead of me has Kentucky beating Kansas in the finals

so i need UNC to beat Kansas for the money

3/24/2012 11:34:28 AM

Tied for 5th now. Face where are you? Is your supreme basketball knowledge paying off at this point?

3/24/2012 4:23:11 PM

lol, my bracket is shit. i hadn't looked at the standings in a while. 156th place in the group...but i still have 880 possible points remaining.

3/24/2012 5:19:37 PM

Not my best effort so far. 610 points and 77.3 percentile.

But I've got UK beating OSU in the finals and have Kansas in the Final Four as well. So I can definitely end up around the 99%. That would be good.

3/24/2012 5:30:19 PM

^Pathetic, i guess u can use ur bracket as toilet paper.

[Edited on March 24, 2012 at 6:24 PM. Reason : my bracket is at 94.1%, and i don't waste time with bullshit basketball analysis.]

3/24/2012 6:16:04 PM

My goal is now for position 189.

Pretty close.

3/24/2012 10:39:01 PM

In the top 5 for now...

3/24/2012 11:50:53 PM

wolfpackerine a.k.a. packguitar = 100%.. 920 points.. tied for best bracket in the country.

i get to brag. deal with it

3/25/2012 1:26:42 AM

I've got this if Kansas wins it all

LOL

3/25/2012 5:04:52 PM

850, 95.1% might as well throw mine in the trash right

3/25/2012 7:14:20 PM

welp, beat my coin flip bracket handily, and I did better than simply picking the favorites, too. Got 3/4 of the final four. woot

3/25/2012 7:15:01 PM

^^hahaha!

3/26/2012 8:42:17 PM

^^ you're worthy get up

3/26/2012 10:47:47 PM

I'm winning my money pools so I don't give a fuck about this bracket. (at least thats what I keep telling myself )

3/26/2012 11:02:27 PM

Guess I'll be rooting for OSU this weekend.

3/26/2012 11:33:20 PM

damn 237th in the country...gg

3/31/2012 8:26:18 PM

Thanks i need Kansas big though

3/31/2012 10:25:55 PM

barring a Kansas victory, I should stay in the top 30 for the group. Not too bad, after I was practically dead last for the first 2 rounds. just got fucked on the early rounds, but only with teams that I didn't have picked to go any further anyway

3/31/2012 11:26:37 PM

My bracket went from being in the 30th percentile to 96.9. Not too bad

4/1/2012 12:01:13 AM

Well, Half my final four was gone after the first weekend, but I did pick the finals right. If Kentucky wins then at least I have a Half – decent bracket

4/1/2012 12:05:58 AM

if Kansas wins, i win the tww bracket group.

4/1/2012 12:09:45 AM

currently 100 percentile, 1087 in country and clinched 2nd in my work league!

4/1/2012 12:43:40 AM

I had a terrible sweet 16 but got 3 out of 4 for the final four and Kentucky over Kansas in the finals so I managed to rally to the 99 percentile.

4/1/2012 1:05:56 AM

^^you aren't in TWW group though?

4/1/2012 11:45:49 AM

nah

4/1/2012 11:50:19 AM

i finished 31st...94.4%

4/2/2012 11:42:49 PM

the top 88 participants in the 189 person group all picked UK to win

4/2/2012 11:44:35 PM

26th TWW, 95.3%, 302088 rank. meh.

4/2/2012 11:45:20 PM

795th

my tiebreaker was 70-60!

[Edited on April 2, 2012 at 11:46 PM. Reason : guy in my league finished 63rd, he got first i got 2nd]

^^that is how it will be in pretty much every group b/c of the scoring system

[Edited on April 2, 2012 at 11:47 PM. Reason : a]

4/2/2012 11:45:23 PM

Would have won my 74 person bracket if KU coulda pulled that one out

4/2/2012 11:47:59 PM

wolfpackerine picked all 8 elite 8 teams correctly...nobody else in the group picked more than 6 right

i beat em by 10 points in round 1 though

4/2/2012 11:48:05 PM

Do I get a prize from thegoodlife3 for heading this up???

Gotta be a trophy or something...

Who cares about the first round

4/3/2012 12:06:03 AM

Son of a bitch, 99.6th percentile and I still finished 2nd.

4/3/2012 12:10:47 AM

A guy that's tied for the overall lead didn't predict a tiebreaker score.
