Done and done, picked the only final outcome that is possible

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sun Mar 13, 2022 4:50 pm

Did mine too. Probably way off on most of my picks, (had to do a revenge run for us) but the champion is all that matters.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sun Mar 13, 2022 6:05 pm

Make your picks!

For some reason my entry is with my son's name (Noah) and it won't allow me to change it.

I have a feeling our brackets will be all about the runner-up team as most of us might have the same winner!

I have submitted mine. Its good to be back in the tournament as a 1 seed.

Might? If anyone doesn't have the same winner they should be banned.

We’re all picking Duke right?

I've got AZ beating Kentucky in the championship game. Final score?

84-79, of course.

Is it OK if I fill mine out after the Tournament is over?

I do much better that way...

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Wed Mar 16, 2022 10:52 am

I encourage everyone to participate. You never know. Stop focusing on my performance every year. Maybe it's your turn now if you can just resist your own misguided instincts.

The 9/8 game consistently blows up my brackets. I'm going to have my daughter pick them this year.

Oh and always, and I mean always, have Arizona in the FF. That's a must...but I do feel a little more lucky this year.

I saw this somewhere where they broke it down even further in win % by seed by power conference teams vs mid majors. Can't seem to fine it now.

prh · Post by **prh** » Wed Mar 16, 2022 1:20 pm

I think I saw that in the last few (10?) years, 11 seeds have a winning record vs 6

EastCoastCat · Post by **EastCoastCat** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 8:36 am

Completed. I had my daughter pick them all and she did mostly chalk...poor thing.

But she did have Arizona winning it so I must have done something right.

I have Iowa in the final 4, they better pull it together so we can whoop their butts in a couple weeks.

Fishclamps · Post by **Fishclamps** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:16 pm

My bracket is total garbage

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:46 pm

I'm not in last place! I'm tied for second-to-last.

We're tied Mr Cow

Big10 is 1-2 so far.

Loving it.

I'm tied for 1st!

This isn't going to last so I had to post it!

Had Iowa going to the FF too. And of course this was their worst shooting game of the year. Ice cold. All they had to do was make it to next weekend, and they would've basically been playing home games for the SS and EE. Iowa fans would've made that short drive to Chicago in droves and flooded that arena. The reasoning for the pick was sound. The execution on their end was not.

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 4:36 pm

So did I enter my brackets into the wrong pool?

I saw two, the BearDownArizona and Mark Schlabach Memorial. Guess I picked the wrong one? Typical…

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 6:57 pm

Actually, my bracket isn’t broken. Had UK losing to UCLA in the elite 8.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 7:11 pm

I haven't gotten one Thursday game right! Maybe just Gonzaga.

Macho Grande · Post by **Macho Grande** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 10:55 pm

Rough first day for Dukie's bracket.

Well, I guess Indiana can take that home with them...

I was in 18th the other day and now I'm in 1st. How the fuck did that happen?

Cool….I’m now 17th but I plan to win the whole thing as I picked UA to win it all and I’m confident that will distinguish me and put me over the top at the end!

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sat Mar 19, 2022 11:28 pm

I want to know who picked Tennessee to win it all. I can sort of understand the few people that picked Gonzaga, but Tennessee?! There is no way we were going to lose to them a second time had they survived.
