MFer Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Were you listening to that Espn twit re: Albany? I didn't catch that. I pretty much picked Albany as a shot in the dark cuz I'd never really been overly impressed with UVA and usually one of those 13-15 seeds pull through each year. I've got more chalk in the later rounds though.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 Oh fucking hell, Texas is letting NM St. win. You better not fuck up my final four!
snuffbox Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 I'm feeling a bit less confidant about Kansas losing in the 2nd round after tonight. "Roy Williams is a bitch for leaving Lawrence" -Mac Lethal
Kurt Angle Mark Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 New Mexico State giving Texas a fight I was so disappointed that they got Texas( one of my Final Four picks), because I would have picked NM ST against anybody else. Reggie Theus is God
CanadianChris Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 Theus sure has come a long way from coaching the Hang Time kids.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 I need the Illionois upset..comeon!
CanadianChris Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 Phew. Now I need Texas to pull this out.
MFer Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 I need the Illionois upset..comeon! Ditto but they fucked it all up.
Guest Sabu Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 And Arizona might lose to end my streak =[
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 I've won every game toay except for Long Beach State. Man, some heart attacks with VA Tech, Oregon, Nevada...I fell asleep during Oregon/Miami, from jetlag, and just got up to see a shitload of close games end.
iggymcfly Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 I really needed that Virginia Tech game tonight. Had them in my Final Four and was ready to give up on my bracket if they lost. Luckily, they closed the game out on a 12-0 run for the huge comeback.
Hawk 34 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 Still doing pretty damn well aside from that 909 ruined LBST debacle. LB and Duke are my only losses. Even though I had Wisconsin going to the next round, them losing would have probably put me in the money already. UNLV needs to break them. Looks like we'll have a strong finishing session for the first round but right now, what would you say ranks as the top five opening round matches? I got Duke/VCU, Nevada/Creighton, X/BYU, Miami/Oregon and either Illinois/VY or ND/Winthrop. Not the strongest first round but the match ups poses in the second round should make for some crazy games.
razazteca Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 My East bracket is dead now but the South bracket is perfect.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 At this exact moment every active game is tied. Excelsior!
alfdogg Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 So far today I've lost Arizona, GA Tech, and my first Sweet 16, Illinois.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 I got Kentucky, Florida, USC, and Soooooo Ill tonight...living dangerously.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 If USC beats Arkansas tonight, it'll be our first tourney without a 12/5 upset since 2000. Even if Arkansas is sort of a poser-ass team to have as a 12, I'm rooting for them now just to keep the streak alive.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 11 over 6 is so the new 12 over 5.
KingPK Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) Lost two Sweet 16 teams and one Elite 8 team. It's not a total loss, but I'm definitely reeling a bit. Maybe it's because I've been playing College Hoops 2K7 too much, but I can't get enough of Verne Lundquist and Bill Rafterty. Edited March 17, 2007 by KingPK
Edwin MacPhisto Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 At the end of the Nevada win, Raftery was pretty loopy. He said something like "with disdain...he takes it to the tin!" Better than just saying "with authority" all the time, I guess.

I love Yahoo Fantasy brackets because you can use the awesome scenario generator to make sure whether you're toally dead or not.
CanadianChris Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 Looks like I'll probably wind up with 26 (27 if Villanova comes back, 25 if Holy Cross pulls the upset). It's my best opening weekend in years, and yet I'm still way behind.
Mecca Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 I've lost 4 with my entire Sweet 16 field still alive....... Glad I picked Kentucky right now....
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 If Kentucky, Florida, So. Ill, and USC hold on, I'll have 28. Why I picked Marquette and Surfboard State is beyond me. Also picked Duke and another game I'm forgetting. Entire Sweet 16 alive.
Kurt Angle Mark Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 24-8 with all Sweet 16 teams still alive Damn 8/9 match-ups killed me (0-4)
alfdogg Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 Lost Villanova as well, so looks like I'll finish 24-8 in round 1, with only one Sweet 16 gone.
CanadianChris Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 I had won all of the 8-9 matchups before tonight's loss by Villanova. My downfall was upsets that never happened -- I picked both of the 6-11 upsets, but struck out with three higher-seeded upsets that never materialized (Oral Roberts, Long Beach State and Albany), as well as two 10 seeds that lost to 7s (Gonzaga and Texas Tech). I don't think I've seen a tournament that went chalk in the first round as much as this one has.
cabbageboy Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 My bracket sucks ass right now. I had a decent enough day yesterday at 12-4, but man today has been a nightmare. I swear I am just 9-7 on the day. It seems like all of my upset picks all went astray. I can't believe Illinois blew it against a piece of cheese team like Va Tech, which cost the Big 10 a perfect opening round too. I didn't have Winthrop, mainly out of spite since everyone had them. I also had Holy Cross over SIU, which was dumb. Had Arkansas over USC, which at least seemed like a decent pick at the time. Had Nova over UK, mainly since UK has stunk of late but I should have figured in that Nardi was hurting. Just a crappy day overall, but at least I still have the local teams alive (U of L, UK, IU).
