Geez, I forgot.  Am I too late (he said pleadingly)?

Yep, ESPN locks all brackets as soon as the first game starts.

Get your shit in gear and update the results ESPN.

First game ended 45 mins ago and still no ipdate.

Well, my Elite Eight is still in tact. Of course those teams haven't played yet. I'll get back with y'all on that later today. 

Enjoy my $20

I wish I could look at a report of some kind to see how many of us picked UNC over Marquette.

Ha. I picked Indiana as my 12 to win over the 5. I'm a genius!

yeah, historically i've done pretty well in this thing, and i'm normally in the mix through the EE, but that did me. I had UK in the title game. oh well, still the best time of the year. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Max points is what's important. It's really stupid that ESPN doesn't allow sorting by Max Points. 

Current top three in max points and their FF:

#1 Welshy (1680): Gonzaga, Purdue, Arizona, Kansas

#2 Me: (1660): Gonzaga, Purdue, Nova, Kansas

#3 Northloop (1600): Tech, UCLA, Arizona, Kansas

There are probably quite a few more of you in the mix but ESPN's dogshit platform makes it difficult to break down. The other pool I do every year uses tourney-tracker which is cool because it ranks every entry in terms of possibilities, so you really know where you stand after each round.

One's a girl.  My wife with her b.s. luck and b.s. username.  The "UT" in "UTSelena" is for Tennessee (her alma mater).

I need ‘Nova to go to the title game and then lose to whoever they run into.internet explain GIF

Championship game is set. With no one picking UNC the scenarios winners would be:

CurlyDumps if UNC

and

UTSelena if Kansas

 

UTSelena has locked in with 2nd place or better. With Kansas laying 4 might be a good middle opportunity to bet UNC.

 

Good luck

Congrats to the winners:

1st - UT Selena

2nd - TheDukeUT08

3rd - BF Surly Bracket

 

I will send back the winnings back through how you paid the entry unless you say otherwise.

Wait how the fuck, I was in dead last after the first weekend

 

getting the champion correct is worth the same as getting every single first round game correct. you can lose a ton on the first weekend, but if you still get much of the EE, FF, and the champion correct you'll make huge strides up the leaderboard.

Yep... all those genius 12-5 upset picks don't mean dick. It's all about picking the FF and champion.

Yeah, funny thing is KU is the only FF team I had correct

this was the year to cash out like that. damn near everyone had gonzaga and arizona in their FF, and nobody had UNC making it that far. not too many had KU or Nova in the FF either, compared to most 1 seeds most years. but i think i read that only 14% of brackets even had KU in the FF. this was the toughest field to handicap in a long time.

That's odd... KU had maybe the easiest path to the FF that I've ever seen for a 1 seed.

i think that most of America was down on the big xii this year, for whatever reason.
