I lost 3 Sweet 16 teams before the final session. Any of the rest of you just plain suck today?

Terrible. Awful. Did pretty well tonight except for Duke. At least I don't think I lost any Elite 8 teams yet.

The only Sweet 16 team I lost was Duke, and all my Elite 8 teams and on are fine. I had a great day by my standards, actually.

I lost Stanford, idonno what I was thinking putting them in the sweet 16.

I lost 2 Sweet 16's. Didn't do that bad all told, about split the 16 games, getting 9 of them right.

I know what you mean, I had Penn in the Sweet 16. I actually had them in the elite eight at one point too, but changed that at the last minute.

I went 13-3, and 2 of my losses were due to picking Duke and picking AGAINST a team whom I know a player on, so maybe i'm not as smart as I lead on ;)

the "no upset" night killed me too

didn't lose any sweet 16s but lost 5 teams in the 32... not great... but coulda been worse i guess. damn you duke and marquette!

I lost Duke, Texas Tech and BYU but I had them all going out in the next round so I guess it wasnt too bad.

Basically the same here. I lost 6 teams in the 32, but nothing deeper than that.

16 for 16 yesterday. Of course, I did so much s*** talking about it that today's bound to be a disaster, but still. 16 for 16!

Ya, I made the mistake of having Duke in the sweet 16. The matchups really looked good for them, plus Coach K has been in the sweet 16 the last 8 or 9 years and while Duke isn't as good as usual they still are a decent team.

 

Oh well as of now that is my only sweet 16 team thats a goner.

Someone please tell me that last nite was some sick, sadistic dream. I mean, Marquette couldn't possilbly have ZERO 2-point FGs at halftime. My Golden Eagles couldn't look THAT clueless against Izzo's defense...

 

Right? Somebody?

 

:unsure:

damn UNLV, had Tech beating em, but the other games are so far so good...

Was 13-3 the first day, losing no Sweet 16 teams. Maybe my best start ever tbh.

and I just lost my first Sweet 16 team. And my first Elite 8 team.

 

f*** Winthrop

Wisconsin could blow a lot of brackets. They just aren't a top 4 or 5 team and they are the type of team that could lose to almost anyone (although they pull out pretty much every close game which is to there credit). Still Tucker is banged up, and Butch is not near 100%.

On notice:

Butler

Maryland

Winthrop

UNLV

VCU

Michigan St.

Vanderbilt

Nevada

 

Dead to me:

Old Dominion

Davidson

Notre Dame

Georgia Tech

Duke

Marquette

George Washington

Creighton

This is insane. I'm 23 for 23, and Oregon's winning.

21-2 so far and going strong, only lost one sweet 16 team so far (GA Tech)

The pool I run (and I show people my sheet before the tourney starts) is $10 a pop, winner take all. I have 130 sheets this year.

 

*Gulp*

 

Lots of basketball to play, though.

I just realized I had Notre Dame in the Sweet 16. What the hell was I thinking? I hate ND! I call shenenigans!
