two sweet sixteen teams out. that's almost as nuked as you can get after the first day

3/20/2009 12:34:36 AM

i'm only missing 1

3/20/2009 12:35:12 AM

I'm missing 1, but it was a stupid stupid idea for me to put NIU in the 16 afterall.

3/20/2009 12:36:56 AM

Sigh. I had Illinois in the Sweet 16.

3/20/2009 12:37:06 AM

My sweet 16 is still perfect

3/20/2009 12:38:18 AM

15/16 for the day, not too shabby...fucking Maryland kept me from being perfect, god damn Vasquez

3/20/2009 12:38:38 AM

^ 15/16 here too, but Illinois was who got me.

3/20/2009 12:40:24 AM

I thought I had the VCU upset pegged for sure, that last shot by Maynard was just a badly designed play.

3/20/2009 12:43:46 AM

theres skill involved in picking brackets, but theres also plenty of luck

3/20/2009 12:45:21 AM

Bracket 1: 15
Bracket 2: 13
Bracket 3: 13
Bracket 4: Fucked

3/20/2009 12:47:17 AM

you have 4 on ESPN? I hope that's not the case.

3/20/2009 12:48:08 AM

Nah, two in separate office pools and then two more on bookmaker (for free since I'm a degenerate gambler)

3/20/2009 12:49:15 AM

Did you do the ESPN tww challenge?

3/20/2009 12:50:03 AM

I wasn't even aware of it until tonight, so no.

3/20/2009 12:51:30 AM

whats the highest seed upset you guys have for tomorrow? i've got arizona beating #5 utah

3/20/2009 12:51:49 AM

15/16, stupid Clapson...

3/20/2009 12:51:53 AM

Wow... looking at tomorrow I realized the only upset I have is Siena beating OSU... son of a bitch

3/20/2009 12:59:02 AM

BYU cost me a perfect day 1, but I have a few upsets tomorrow, could get interesting, haha.

3/20/2009 12:59:49 AM

why the hell did i take illinois. i know the big 10 can't play basketball. except michigan state maybe.

3/20/2009 1:12:41 AM

I like Purdue, maybe even a little more than MSU

#14 NDSU beating Kansas. It's a longshot, but I love the matchup. Ben Woodside is an awesome senior point guard who can take over games. He scored 60 this year against fellow 14-seed Stephen F. Austin. He doesn't have to do all the work though, Brett Winkelman averages 19 points a game. They also have Lucas Moormann, a great 6'10 defender who should frustrate Aldrich inside. And they start 4 seniors (all those guys I named are seniors).

Now that I wrote that, Kansas will probably destroy them.

and I had Clemson in my sweet 16... bastards.

3/20/2009 1:21:08 AM

^^Not to take anything away from him but that 60 was in 3ots iirc.

3/20/2009 1:25:18 AM

yeah it was 3-OT's, and they still lost :/

3/20/2009 1:27:29 AM

^^ I know you weren't trying to take away anything about the dude's 60, but iirc the most anyone scored in the 6 OT UConn/Syracuse game was 34 or 35.

With that in mind, 60 is still mind blowing.

arizona over utah, 12 over a 5

and tennessee over OKSt is technically an upset i guess, 9 over 8

3/20/2009 1:28:56 AM

I got Arizona over Utah too

3/20/2009 1:30:53 AM

bah, 13 of 16 now. clemson, vcu, and illinois fucked me. vcu was a reach i know, and i probably should've known better taking two flakes like clemson and illinois

3/20/2009 6:59:30 AM

Obama is only 11-5 with his picks... doesn't look good for our country

3/20/2009 7:14:32 AM

my biggest upset today is USC over BC

and now i'm second guessing putting USC into the sweet 16.

oh well

also,

MISSISSIPPI STATE

3/20/2009 8:11:58 AM

Cleveland St. over Wake Forest. Put it on the board.

on the other hand, it DOES look good for our country

3/20/2009 9:19:02 AM

Someone in my office pool (haven't figured out who yet) had Clemson winning it all. I'm still good.

3/20/2009 9:23:19 AM

only game i missed yesterday was the VCU/UCLA game....damn one point game

3/20/2009 9:33:32 AM

14/16 yesterday. Got the WKU upset. california and butler got me though. at least that was the only game I had either of them winning

[Edited on March 20, 2009 at 10:40 AM. Reason : ]

3/20/2009 10:37:42 AM

i missed cal and butler...and clemson

3/20/2009 10:51:15 AM

today is gonna be my make-or-break day

go trojans, and sun devils

pac10 ftw

lol

3/20/2009 11:00:52 AM

14/16 on yesterday. (minnesota and texas a+m)

sweet sixteen still intact.

3/20/2009 11:16:50 AM

only team i really need to win is wvu

3/20/2009 11:17:48 AM

17 of 20 so far. marquette and Ok st. cutting it a little too close for comfort

3/20/2009 3:13:21 PM

I was a dummy for picking TN to beat pitt. Should have known the sec wouldn't pull through for me.

Only big mistake for me so far, though. 17 of 20 and all but one sweet 16 team still in.

3/20/2009 3:15:05 PM

17/20 so far

still got the whole sweet 16 intact

what a moron i was for picking an SEC team other than LSU to win their first round matchup...what a joke of a conference

[Edited on March 20, 2009 at 3:17 PM. Reason : .]

3/20/2009 3:16:15 PM

lost 1 sweet 16 (clemsowned), west virginia wants me to lose another

3/20/2009 3:45:50 PM

I got W Kentucky and Marquette in my sweet sixteen... wonder which one was the more dangerous pick now!

3/20/2009 4:08:38 PM

I got Missouri in my Final Four, and they're struggling with some nerd ass school from Ithaca

3/20/2009 4:13:14 PM

sweet sixteen still in tact here as well

3/20/2009 4:28:21 PM

WVU in final 4

destroyed

3/20/2009 5:19:04 PM

WVU in the elite eight

Threat level: elevated

3/20/2009 5:22:43 PM

3/20/2009 5:23:08 PM

i had dayton winning this game

[Edited on March 20, 2009 at 5:25 PM. Reason : if utah st had pulled it out i'd be perfect so far today]
