QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 21, 2011 -> 12:11 PM) So of the over 5.9 million brackets filled out on ESPN, only one bracket has 15 of the 16 sweet sixteen teams left (none have 16). Wow. I got a whole 8 of the 16 right but I still have 6 of my elite 8 and all 4 of my ff so I'm just as alive as anyone.

Well I was right about ND losing, just got the team they'd lose to wrong, ha.

Ya, I completely disagree with you Kenny. Both calls were the right ones.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 07:23 PM) lol and I'm in the wrong thread, my bad. Damn it, because of you, I did it as well! haha

GET KAWHI LEONARD THE f***IN BALL GOD DAMN IT. Unreal.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 18, 2011 -> 03:56 PM) Sorry to bash your beloved mid-major teams, but ODU and Butler were both very mediocre this year. ODU had 4 good wins with 2-3 bad losses. Butler went 15-5 in an ok Horizon League and their only win over a tourney team is Florida State. I guess in Butler's case it's fair that they got a higher seed after getting screwed in the past, but that's not an 8 seed resume to me. I really couldn't care less about the seeds, that's not what I was talking about. To say they're both "terrible" teams is crazy talk. Low major, mid major or high major, ODU and Butler are both very good basketball teams.

Go Zips!

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 02:57 PM) Both of those teams are terrible. For that to be an 8-9 game is a joke. That's silly. QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 10:46 PM) UCLA is trying hard to complete the biggest choke job in college basketball history. That was absurd, wanted to throw something at my tv, thankfully the Bruins held on. They're a very talented team but god damn they're dumb at times. Also, good win for the Badgers. Belmont wasn't outclassed but Wiscy made their shots and were certainly the better basketball team.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 18, 2011 -> 11:01 AM) It is supposed to be a 15 year deal. 14 I believe. But ya, we got it for a while.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) And, as usual, Vandy doesn't show up in the tournament. Good thing I picked Richmond... Vandy gets some really freakin tough matchups in the tourny. Granted, they're loaded with talent and shouldn't be a one and done but the committee has certainly done them no favors the past couple of years.

My bracket made quite the recovery today. Lost the first 3 games including 2 sweet sixteens and then proceeded to go 12 and 1, losing only 1 pt the rest of the day.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 08:20 AM) Can't put $10 down in addition to your other billion and can't come try a health club for free for a week. Weak! If you were running it, I'd just drop 10 bucks by your house, I really don't want to put more money on my credit card card though. And that's your damn fault for always working sundays on my off/get over hangover day!

Ya, sorry guys, I have about a billion dollars into tourny pools right now, I think I'm going to pass on this one.

My left side of the bracket is so chalky and the right side is complete chaos.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 16, 2011 -> 09:45 PM) Personally, Lebron's far more unlikeable IMO. LeBron more unlikeable off the court and overall imo, Wade more unlikeable on the court.

Kelsey Barlow suspended, Kyrie Irving possibly coming back, a lot going on these last few days before we actually get started.

If I'm starting a franchise, I'm easily taking Love, that's not even a question. On this Bulls team, I'm keeping Noah, also a pretty easy decision.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Mar 15, 2011 -> 02:32 PM) Josh Hamilton That's quite the different set of circumstances.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 15, 2011 -> 06:31 AM) Honestly I am pretty Bobby Knight on the conference tourneys. I actually completely understand why people would feel this way but to me, the conference tournaments play into what March Madness is, leave them alone. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 15, 2011 -> 08:55 AM) It is on Comcast? Sweet. It is.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 07:32 PM) Ya been there, I tend to analyze everything to death, makes me change some things that end up killing me at the end. So far I haven't changed a single thing this year though, pretty proud of myself. Ya, well so much for that, major changes to my bracket, more so than I've ever made after my gut picks.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 08:21 PM) Boston loses to NJ. HURRRRR. Bulls even in the loss column. Lets take over 1st tomorrow!

Milledge showed some ridiculous pop today, not too hard to see why he used to be so highly regarded. Obviously I'm not expecting him to turn into a star or anything but he deserves to be on this roster come opening day.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) That's why I changed it. I originally had Kentucky, but in my over-analysis of other things I somehow glossed over that fact. Sullinger is going to draw fouls, and if Jones or Miller has to guard him it's going to get ugly. Too bad the committee had to put OSU, UNC, Syracuse and Kentucky all in the same bracket. Put any of them in the southeast with Pitt and I'd have them in the Final Four. Ya been there, I tend to analyze everything to death, makes me change some things that end up killing me at the end. So far I haven't changed a single thing this year though, pretty proud of myself.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 04:57 PM) I think if you win your conference then youre in the tournament. They did what they were asked to do to make the field of 64. The play-in games should consist of the lowest at-large bids. Completely agree.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 04:54 PM) Defensive basketball is winning basketball. Look at the NBA and which teams are successful this year. I like defensive basketball, that's the reason I don't like Wisconsin to do anything in this tournament because they're not a good defensive team. EDIT: And btw, it's not just offensive and defensive efficiency, every stat both offensively and defensively points to the fact that Wiscy is a good offensive team while not being a very good defensive club.
