Pretty close JADA. Are you a big Tennessee fan by any chance?
East - UNC and Tennessee
Midwest - Kansas and Georgetown
South - Memphis and Texas
West - UCLA and Duke
Final Four - Tennessee, Georgetown, Memphis, UCLA
Tennessee over UCLA
At the time of this post I'm 7 for 7 in a friends' bracket. 500$ total and top 3 cash out. Maybe I'll be perfect and win 5 mill off of yahoo! :D
yeah i am a big tennesse fan my friend duke crews plays for them. i have won all 11 games so far.
Fuck Kent State, Temple, and BYU.
Especially Temple. Drew Neitzel plays another shitty game and you somehow manage to lose? WTF!

well, for my 1337 Eight I took:
UNC over Tenn
Kansas over Wisconsin
Texas over Memphis
UCLA over Duke
Semis:
UNC over Kansas
UCLA over Texas
And NC to take it all. Although now I think Duke might fall a round earlier and Texas might have a little trouble with Stanford.
Also UW is not a homer pick, its just too close to call for me right now and I think they might sneak past in what should be a really entertaining ballgame.

you're friends with duke crews? pretty cool. I got 15 of the first 16. And I knew Kansas St. was gonna upset but fucking stupid people convinced me otherwise :mad:

I've got K State going pretty far, knocking off kansas. It's gonna be sweet. I think they can do it.
And Davidson knocked off Gonzaga! Fuck yeah.
EDIT: Fuck Miami! They were supposed to lose.

I'm not doing too well. In my main bracket I have 14/16 of my sweet sixteen left, though i still have all my elite eight teams left.
I've got UNC, Butler, Kansas, Kansas St., Xavier, UCLA, Marquette and Memphis.
In my final four I've got UNC, Kansas, Memphis, and Xavier.
Memphis over Kansas in the finals.
I'm only missing 3 of my sweet 16...
I can't believe Drake and Vanderbilt lost. Everyone was talking big about Siena too, I didn't really pay attention on that one. St. Joe's losing to Oklahoma wasn't supposed to happen either.
Now let's pray Davidson upsets Georgetown and Butler beats tennessee.

Lol at picking dook in the tournament to get past the sweet sixteen(it's getting to the point where it's iffy to pick them just to MAKE the sweet sixteen).
Wow... total failure on my part.
Michigan st. is still in it, Washington State beat Notre Dame, Stanford beat Marquette, And fucking purdue lost to Xavier
and the end all... Kansas St. lost and they were in my final four...
My bracket just collapsed on itself and the only saving grace will be if UNC can still pull off the win.

I know, 20/20 hindsight is a bitch...
I woulda have thought K coula have gotten them a little more fired up. Another performance like this year, and I say they can him.
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!
Davidson tops Georgetown.
My bracket is completely ruined by as long as the fucking hoyas were stopped I'm content.

It isn't even hindsight with them anymore.
They play a week non-conference schedule, with their only tough games at home or at a "neutral" venue(which is usually New York or New Jersey).
They have no point guard. Greg Paulus couldn't guard his mirror image. They don't have a single talented powerforward/Center. Their two starting bigs are a powerforward playing Center and a Small Forward playing PF.
They get worked by fast point guards, which WVU, Belmont, and VCU all had.
They also don't have ACC refs in the NCAA tourney. When the fouls are being called evenly, Duke starts to suck.

It's funny you mention that because all Dookies like to remind everyone that they're treated unfairly in the tour's because they get called for too many fouls.
It makes me smile knowing that they don't realise that the ACC refs just let them get away w/ so much shit that they're not used to games being called correctly.

On a related subject, is Hubert Davis mentally retarded? Seriously, most bracketeers I know did better than he did in the first two rounds of analysis, and some of the games weren't even that hard. There is a clip on espn.com of him and digger phelps picking one first round game from each region. He missed each one besides a Michigan State pick, who he's been saying since the beginning of the year is "the team to beat in the Big Ten" even after my boys took care of them twice.
There's that, and the fact he didn't have UW in his Power 16 at any point this year.
[/rant]
PS on reading this back it really looks like whining but if you can find the clip you'll see what I mean...he picked George Mason solely because they had two players who were on the final four team from two years ago.
I've got:
(Pinsir lvl 52)
(Flygon lvl 58)
(Zapdos lvl 58)
(Blaziken lvl 49)
(Floatzel lvl 64)
(Honchkrow lvl 60)

that fucking blows. No offense or anything, but your lineup is a hell of a lot worse than my March Madness bracket.
damn its not looking to good for tennessee...
What a shitty fucking final four
Im pissed Davidson beat Wisconsin... I guess they were just the better team at the time, but if Kansas played the way they did during the Kansas Davidson game but with Wisconsin, I think we could have tore that up and got to the final four.
All #1 seeds? I don't even care who wins now. Davidson was the only hope for an interesting final four.
EDIT: Oh and I guess Tennessee, kinda. 2 seed isn't much better but at least it's something to root for. Oh if you couldn't tell, I usually prefer the underdog.

No fuck Tennessee.
Tennessee & Nat'l titles should only be used in the same sentence if Pat Summit and the Lady Vols are also part of that sentence. I never want to hear Tennessee be talked about for football or men's bball. They're a waste of talent on both ends. Just as Michigan State is.
Drew Neitzel should've been raping teams left and right... but instead he led a sub-par team that got lucky against temple.

that was 10 years ago...
How many times have they (tennessee) won this precious title (football) in 20-30-40 years?
Peyton Manning is one of the few good things to come out of Tenn male athletics. They've wasted so much talent since Tee Martin left.
Can we stay on basketball please
Ya, UNC + UCLA = UNC winning the show.
I wanna see Memphis topple UCLA but it won't happen. Kevin Love is gonna work them over.

Kevin Love struggles against fast bigs(like Dorsey). Didn't get worked, but elite athletic bigs give him a lot of trouble.
Not my best year for a bracket, but pretty good so far. 3/4 final four and I picked the championship game. I just need Memphis to win and I might finish in the top 5% on ESPN.com.
Fuck Kansas.
haha fuck memphis they deserved to lose
Wow that game was good, I don't watch NCAA anything, but I'm glad I watched.
I was pulling from Kansas from the start so Paul Pierce would be happy. Kansas winning title + birth of new daughter : Triple double with 65 points.

Yeah dude, for being a shitty final four with all #1 seeds, they made up for it by having an awesome close game. And kansas come back in those last 2 minutes of regulation was awesome.
That 3 point shot was off of one foot it looked like.
