ZoomSlowik Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 17, 2006 -> 01:11 AM) Without a doubt the worst and most frusterating tourny day of my life. I had so many close calls: Pacifc, SDSU, Xavier, Winthrop, UNC Wilmington. At this point I just wanna kill someone. That being said I still am ok, because I didn't lose anything too big. As long as my final four stays in tact, I'll be good to go. I took the other route. Instead of picking numerous upsets, missing all or most of them, but not losing anything major, I decided to do a few semi-crazy ones and end up losing a Sweet 16 and an Elite 8. I like your route a bit better. I'm not happy because I was a couple of bounces away from being 14-2 without losing any Sweet 16 teams or further.

kapkomet Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Amatuers. (I gotta talk s*** because I'm going to look like s*** after today probably). I never would have thought I'd be 15-1 after day one, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big one I picked was George Mason over Michigan State today. In retrospect, I shouldn't have done that, because MSU usually plays well in the tournament. Other then that I didn't have too many upsets today if I remember right. Most of my upset picks were yesterday and they happened, amazingly enough.

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) Kent State and Southern Illinois are my big upset picks today. And if Northwestern State beats Iowa, I'll be kicking myself for not having the balls to pick it.

MSU will fall against UNC even if they beat George Mason, that's the best kind of upset pick you can make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 11-16 here. Had a s***ty morning but nailed the evening games. I knew Syracuse was going down in that game. Shoulda picked a second 5-12 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason if Skinn didn't feel it necessary to punch people in the nuts. I'm just not sold on this MSU team even if they are usually a very good tourny team.

ZoomSlowik Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 My bracket looks great outside of that lower left corner. I knew that Oakland bracket was going to screw me over because I don't like any of the teams in the bottom half of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 12-4 Picked Nevada instead of Montana, Seton Hall instead of Wichita St., NC-Wilmington instead of Geo Washington and the Orangemen instead of Texas A&M. My Oakland bracket is nice and clean as now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
