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.

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.

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.

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.

I love Yahoo Fantasy brackets because you can use the awesome scenario generator to make sure whether you're toally dead or not.

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.

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).
