I just realized I must have misclicked and have Duke getting upset today, and didn't even think twice about them not being in the rest of my bracket. Oops.

Bison are hanging in there.

you didn't pay so your bracket doesn't even really count.

Yeah I only did it for fun. I gave up gambling years ago.

Well, you did pick them to lose in the first round ... so you kinda blew it up on your own.

But I didn't even do a bracket so ... wtf am I in this thread?

just logged in---  ay carumba.  #2- to vinay727;  and in good company w/ chitowndoc, betsy and cool hand colt--- How can this be? 

...I'm usually donating beer (and coke) (and geritol- armybrat) money to the board.

Is there a prize for worst entry? Asking for a friend.

Wish I had joined this. I'm ranked in the 88th percentile on ESPN.com. Filled out exactly 1 bracket and watched about 5 mins total of college basketball this year. I don't really get why though, a couple of my Sweet 16 teams are out already but all my elite eights are still alive. I feel like I've had years with much better brackets and have never been ranked this high. 

Looking forward to Houston vs Kentucky in the Sweet 16...

It's all about getting the final four and especially the championship teams right.

It certainly helps.  My bracket was pretty busted last season but had Michigan won, pretty sure I’d have finished on top...  $800 bucks, IIRC. 

Surprised there aren't more. There haven't been any crazy upsets really.

I have a buddy who actually takes this seriously and he's in the 4th % on ESPN.  We are all laughing at him.  

Weird.  I've got 14 of 16 teams correct but am only in the 80th percentile and tied for 21st on Shaggy.

Yall realize that how many teams you have left doesn't have shit to do with your percentile. It's all about how many games you've picked right so far. 

Not sure i can even cash if my final four AND championship game are correct. We'll see

With as much chalk as there has been this year your odds aren’t great.

 

I took a long shot homer pick for one of my final two (law school at UF) so I imagine I’m done.

I do.  I'm just assuming that - mathematically - getting 14 of 16 into to the Sweet 16 would put me near the top.

Not when you get 14/16 just by blindly picking the higher seeds tho.

damn, sucks that i have 0 faith in the team i picked to win this thing.  i'd have a real shot at it.

Ok right now I'm winning, im beating every ESPN "expert" and I've watched 10 minutes of NCAA basketball this year, including the tournament.

Just put my hand down my pants to check, no vagina.

fucking purdue

they win tonight and duke doesn't win it all I probably finish in the money.

Yeah Purdue making it to the championship was my only hope of getting 3rd after Barnes got Barnes'd. 

I counted on everyone here counting on Barnes Barnesing in the hopes that he wouldn't Barnes for once and I would hold all the chips. I was right about the first part.

Sorry.

UMBC says holla

I just read ESPN's recap of the Texas vs Lipscomb game and it seemed to downplay the importance of the majestic night. Then I clicked on the "Basketball" link again and thought that this said:

Surly March Sadness

Somehow my brain doubled the "S" of Surly and replaced one of the "M"s.

Even though I have not been checking and somehow I am in third place at the moment, I need a lot to remain in the money. 

So long story short, I need a lot to happen to remain up there.

Best of luck everyone.
