Am I the only one picking Kansas over Louisville in the Finals? I am trying to get the best advice possible in hopes of having a decent bracket, these are always fun to do even if I don't pay attention much to college basketball other than March Madness.

I picked Indiana over Duke.

I have Indiana beating Gonzaga in the championship. Let's see what happens.

My bracket is already busted - had Bucknell over Butler.

You should've known better. Butler is a pretty safe bet to advance at least one round nowadays. It looks like Pitt will bust my bracket though since they're sucking it up today.

[JO_75]

Oh wow, I can't believe how close I came to actually getting Davidson over Marquee right as an upset. 1 point, grrr.

[ghost1986]

Is this the forum to post in about the tourney or just about brackets?

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Freakin OKSU...smh

That was such a great finish though. I don't usually watch college basketball and was quite impressed.

That was the upset I picked, so I'm glad Oregon won.

I've only missed on Pitt so far, and apparently my Memphis pick didn't save correctly last night.

I can change it to make it a thread about the Tournament, since that what it seems like it is turning into

I know, I have 3 games wrong so far, but luckily the losses don't ruin my entire bracket so I'm still good.

[ghost1986]

Dang these refs in the Louisville game are awful. They must be the same ones who missed the foul that resulted in NC A&T getting into the tournament. Yeah I know Louisville's up a lot, but these guys are blind.

[Guest Im An Ozzie Newsome Guy]

I just found it to be really strange how Kentucky and UMass lost their opening-round game in the N.I.T. tournament, and Memphis [i]almost [/i]got upset by St. Mary's in their first game of the NCAA tournament.

I guess the 3rd time [i]was [/i]the charm for all of the teams that John Calipari has coached, as odd as that sounds...

[ghost1986]

Dang Louisville is putting it on the NC A&T Aggies. Still a lot of time, but so far, they're playing like a 1 seed. Gonzaga struggled, but Louisville is runnin and A&T can't catch up.

EDIT: Once again with the last shot, Siva wasted it. Pitino put Russ in for a reason, Siva. Share the ball.

I will say this: March Madness has not been the same since Gus Johnson left CBS and signed with Fox...

Anyone but that Bill Rapture guy. Hate his voice. "A little KISS! for the big fella!!!" Should come over my house. My dad, brother and I have some colorful commentary going on. I love watching Pitino's teams. Guy is a genius. That transition running gets me jacked up. We've been going insane.

EDIT: OOOOHHHHH!!!!! Van Treese the Great White! I know it's a 1 against a 16, but NC A&T shouldnt even be in it. Refs missed a foul in the game they won to get into the tourney. So I'm pulling for Louisville to smoke em.

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

If UNLV loses this I will be very angry.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Florida Gulf Coast for the Sweet 16!

Final 4 of Gonzaga vs Louisville and Michigan vs Syracuse.

National championship of Syracuse over Louisville.

[Gordo52]

So far, so good. Besides Bucknell & Belmont but decent so far

[T3hRaven]

Not to overreact or anything, but I might regret not putting VCU in my Final Four.

[JO_75]

Holy upset... I know my part of my bracket just got screwed. # 14 Seeded Harvard just upset # 3 Seeded New Mexico 68-62.

[T3hRaven]

I definitely picked New Mexico. What a finish.

Did you really? Wow lucky you.

[Mt. Crushmore]

So far I haven't lost a Sweet 16 team so I'm feeling good. Plus Syracuse demolished Montana last night.

[Ragin'Raven]

We're (husband, boys, and I) going down to D.C. next weekend for a few of the games. He was able to get tickets, so I think we're going to just drive down and enjoy some of the good basketball.

[theblackdog]

Curses, I was expecting New Mexico to at least make it to the Sweet 16 in my bracket

Ah don't feel bad. This has been a tourney of upsets. Usually at least one 12 seed knocks off a 5 seed, but this year it was 3/4 12 seeds that knocked off the 5 seeds. And also KSU lost their game. Usually I do a bracket, but I hate losing and the way #1 seeds were knocked off in the regular season, I decided to pass on that. I'm rooting for UNC and Florida, but I think Villanova will win.

[/quote]I actually got the KSU game right. People called me crazy for picking all these crazy upsets but now I look like a genius. I'm rooting for Miami and Georgetown.

[T3hRaven]

My bracket won't end well. I put Wisconsin in the Final Four.
