SOMD March Madness pool?

[Beta84]

In case someone needs some tips - here's Obama's bracket.

He really went out on a limb:

3 #1s, and a #2 in the Final Four

7 #1s or #2s, and a #3 in the Elite Eight

i just saw his bracket.

Not sure if it accepted my bracket or not because it wouldn't let me pick the last game.

I tried to save it. Hopefully it works.

It doesn't look like it saved your bracket.

He picked UNC over Louisville? What the hell is he smoking?

I figured out the last game thing. When you pick your team it shows the last game alllllll the way at the top. If you were scrolled down (like I was) then you wouldn't see the pick. I figured it out when i was scrolled up higher the next time I tried it out and saw something flicker when i changed picks between the two teams

It's possible. If UNC is healthy, they've got quite a few NBA prospects. Why the heck not?

I dont' think BuddyLee got his bracket saved - so he might have to post his picks here. That is, if we trust him.

I dunno. I just wasn't impressed with seeing them get beat by Florida State in the ACC tourney.

Dang! American - up by 10 on Villanova at the half. I have the Wildcats in the Elite 8.

That's the thing about the NCAAs - a small school can get hot from the 3-point line and beat just about anybody.

It looks like after day one, collectively we've only lost 3 Sweet 16 picks (ahem, Beta - 2) and no Elite 8 picks. That's not bad for 7 brackets.

 

[Severa]

*still shocked at both the fact that Western KY beat Illinois and the fact that she correctly picked that one* I think that one was my lucky pick. Looking back at some of my picks, I'm claiming 'hindsight is 2/20' on a couple of these...

yeah somehow I left my slightly worse bracket for the SOMD one

My facebook one is rockin right about now. Not sure what I was thinkin with the Illini in the Sweet 16 since I ended up making them a 5-12 upset, but I'm pretty disappointed with the VCU result

 

[Severa]

*now dead last* Yikes. Sorry guys.

 

[DuffMan]

I bet Duffman was craping his pants he has them in the final four.

You Got that right! I'm still holding strong so far.

 

[Beta84]

I had Tennessee beating Pitt?? WTF was I drunk and wearing my SEC goggles? Why didn't I update this bracket!!
