I suck, but I doubt anyone else has VA winning it all. If they do that, I'll win.

I almost just killed my bracket with UO playing such a close game against Miami, OH.

I've got them being the runners up this year, and that performance did zero to make me believe in that pick.

They're better than that, i hope they show it going forward.

You ever notice how the losing coach sometimes is walking past the other coach so fast that the two can barely shake hands? It is a wonder how the Illinois coach didn't jam a finger by trying to shake the winning coach's hand while flying by him.

Had to take an athlete to NYC this AM for MRI...got 10 miles in the 8 inches of sleet/ice on the Long Island Expressway,,,they closed the LIE down, tons of cars all over the road. Turned around and came home. Took 2 hours for 20 miles of aggrevation.:mad:

Time to handicap todays cards and watch hoops on CBS!:D

IrishofNDMan 03-17-2007 10:48 AM

They pretty much self-destructed in the last four minutes of that game. Now they're going to have to to to OSU what OSU did to them in the next few minutes cuz now they're down 8.

I seen it so many times the team that blows the game in
regulation hardly ever wins the game in OT. The air just
comes right out of them.

Brian you survive another day in the Bracket Pool

stevepopyak 03-17-2007 02:34 PM

Major choke job by Xavier .... have to give Ohio State credit for nailing that three to send it to OT, that was from way out there !

Absolutely right more of Xavier losing it, than OSU winning it

That just saved my office bracket too.

It's not the kind of win in an NCAA bracket that you want to brag about, but I'll take it.

I've always been a believer that the good teams just get it done, one way or another -- and Xavier certainly helped them get it done today.

cmorioles 03-17-2007 02:40 PM

Xavier certainly blew it.

I will say the refs had no balls as that last foul by Oden should have been considered flagrant, intentional, or a technical.

As for the end, why teams don't foul when up three at the end is beyond me. The chances of hitting a three are exponentially greater than scoring three points when getting fouled in the back court or near mid court.

A win is a win, I rather take a ugly win, than a good loss

No kidding looked like he was playing football, there was no attempt
going for the ball

ddthetide 03-17-2007 02:52 PM

i'd say that OSU losing would have blown-up a whole lotta brackets !!

pmayjr 03-17-2007 03:06 PM

looking at the brackets... a lot of people (including me) have Lousiville going to the Final 4 out of that region. It just dawned on me now that this is a bracket challenge with horse racing fans. Horse racing, Louisville kinda go hand-in-hand lol. I picked Louisville to go to the final game because I think they're good enough... if they can get past A&M.

I'm dead...had Maryland the entire way to the championship game...damn ACC has let me down big time!

ddthetide 03-17-2007 05:30 PM

the Cards just crushed me! i had them in the final 4......:(

Cannon Shell 03-18-2007 11:24 AM

Who is in front? ......Oh...

brianwspencer 03-18-2007 11:43 AM

I wish I could look at work because I'm not doing half bad here this round. So far I've only lost ODU and Marquette in the sweet sixteen.

Cannon Shell 03-18-2007 11:46 AM

I have all of my Sweet 16 intact before todays games. But things can change quick in this tourney

Wow. My choice of MU was stupid, but I took a stand against NC, which was probably not the wisest of ideas.

Good job so far...the V-Tech/ S.Illinois might be the toughest, I agree with the rest...but...Oregon in your "Final 4".

YES! Chuck is kicking ass and taking names, and has OU in the Final Four....that bodes well for my hopes of them getting there too!

Storm Cadet 03-18-2007 02:34 PM

man...I'm getting worn out today with these picks. Started strong and nothing left turning for home!:(

ddthetide 03-18-2007 03:47 PM

badgers are OUT and so am I !!......i've lost 2 of my final 4 teams. good luck the rest of the way everyone. !!

randallscott35 03-18-2007 03:50 PM

ddthetide 03-18-2007 05:39 PM

Look up 29-6 on the season, mo valley player of the year and 12/21 3pt fg's.

Hickory Hill Hoff 03-18-2007 09:05 PM

I believe down in 34th place, SCAVS is the only one with all thier "Elite 8" teams still intact!

FLA/OREGON/KANSAS/UCLA/TEXAS A&M/OHIO ST/G-TOWN/NC

Everybody else has at least one out...can this be right!

Hickory Hill Hoff 03-18-2007 09:11 PM

Double checked it...correct!!!
SCAVS, way to go!

GPK 03-18-2007 09:19 PM

7 of my 8 Elite Eight are still in tack....
