Ah well - at least it was close for a while.

NM State looks TERRIBLE. Their big guy looks like he is made for playing half court.

Sorry--that was me. Once the tourney started I moved it to FG per forum policy since it's a closed group. Meant to mention it in a post but forgot.

Ralph, did you realize you didn't actually pick your bracket?

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2013 3:37 pm**

Not looking good for Pitt.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2013 4:18 pm**

Witchita nets me 1 of 2 upsets. Yay! Still have 6 people with perfect bracket hopes alive.

What??? I did! And I saved it! What the hell, Yahoo!

And I'm pretty sure this would've been my year to not miss a game.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2013 4:40 pm**

Is it possible you filled out a bracket but not for our group? That happened to me and I wound up re-picking once I saw it.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2013 5:05 pm**

Yep - apparently that's exactly what happened. Somehow my picks got put into the national picks rather than our group's picks. I wonder if there's any way to transfer it over...

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2013 5:11 pm**

I didn't see a way for mine. Nuts.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2013 5:48 pm**

Yes - Marquette!!

Crazy I am so happy for getting a#3 right..

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2013 5:50 pm**

Man, that was a heart-breaking end for Davidson. Talk about having it under wraps and then blowing it.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2013 6:49 pm**

Thank you Zags. Geez, didn't need that drama.

Edit: And Yay Oregon! Back at the top of the leaderboard.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2013 8:22 pm**

Interestingly, everyone has missed one game, thus far.

The end of the Saint Mary / Memphis game was a nailbiter too. After they got the turnover on the inbounds, I thought they were going to pull it off (at least OT). Gotta love the tourney.

I'm so glad I switched my crazy Butler pick to a much safer New Mexico choice. Well done.

1 night, a few games, and I'm out. Not my week.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2013 7:36 am**

Dead last.

Edit...oops, just at bottom of first page.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2013 11:34 am**

11 right, not bad, my potential points are still very good. Would have had 12 right if I had not switched from Wichita State to Pittsburgh at the last moment.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2013 2:46 pm**

Wisconsin.

I would like to hereby withdraw my bracket, nothing to see here...

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2013 2:48 pm**

Stupid Wisconsin should have had a cake walk to the elite 8. Instead they are 1 and done.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2013 2:50 pm**

Well that was unfortunate. I really need Notre Dame to win now. My brother is a Badger and nothing would be sweeter than advancing further than him.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2013 2:52 pm**

Wisconsin doesn't hurt me much, but NC State is about to tear my brackets asunder.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2013 3:07 pm**

Wisconsin was the first sweet 16 team I have lost. I didn't have them going to the elite 8 though.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2013 4:24 pm**

Just saw a funny comment on ESPN. The leading scorer in the Wisconsin game was air.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2013 5:34 pm**

Only one perfect Yahoo bracket left. It has some crazy final four picks though (Duke, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Temple) so I doubt it will make it.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2013 6:33 pm**

Wow...my West bracket is all jacked up. So far I'm only 2 for 6 in that bracket and 15 for 17 in all the others.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2013 7:00 pm**

I got the Midwest exact. East and West both have 3 misses and I've lost two Sweet 16 teams. South still has a shot at being perfect.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2013 7:22 pm**

I am not feeling at all good about my championship teams (Gonzaga v Georgetown).

I was feeling bad about my bracket. But ouch.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2013 10:15 pm**

Yeah, had Georgetown as a final 4 team. Ouch.

Not as bad as my sons bracket though, he had GU winning it all. Big ouch!

Posted: **Sat Mar 23, 2013 5:24 am**

Yep, there goes the bracket. Ah well, almost made it to Saturday.

Posted: **Sat Mar 23, 2013 7:44 am**

Yeah, the losses by Georgetown, Wisconsin, and New Mexico hurt me a bunch. Guess I picked the wrong upsets.

Posted: **Sun Mar 24, 2013 5:27 am**

I'm still in 4th place! Possibly the softest 4th place in history, but I'll take it.

Posted: **Sun Mar 24, 2013 7:46 am**

I am the only one who picked Miami, so I can just enjoy all the upsets and ignore all the rest of my bracket.

I've got Miami in the Final Four still. Haven't lost a Final Four team, yet.

Posted: **Sun Mar 24, 2013 9:31 pm**

My bracket's destroyed. But I got some teams I'm actually interested in now. Florida GC is crazy, and I like Jim Larranaga since his George Mason days (he coached one of my ex-students when they made their big tourney run). So it's been interesting so far, but my bracket's in the basement as predicted. lol

Posted: **Mon Mar 25, 2013 10:26 am**

Man, that Miami-Illinois game was painful to watch. Miami flops better than the Duke of old, and the mis-call giving the ball to Miami at the end after Miami tipped it out was brutal. Oh, well--the Illini played them closer than I expected.

Posted: **Mon Mar 25, 2013 4:33 pm**

Agrred. I had picked Miami, but felt like I got cheated out of a more spectacular ending. Miami would have likely won anyway but the Illini deserved the shot they worked so hard for.

Posted: **Mon Mar 25, 2013 5:01 pm**

My bracket of Doom is as good as promised.

My work bracket group is funny since about 50 percent of people went for the homer Gonzaga pick.
