[Manch.]

I'm boycotting because I penciled in Oklahoma State to be in the Final Four.

 

[Manch.]

OK, I'm in, but I kind of have to be discreet about it.

In. Thanks for running bracket again Liz

 

[NDallasRuss]

I'm in. Looking forward to another mid-pack finish!

Yay for new corporate hardware not allowing the sports of Yahoo to be accessed. Will get joined up this evening.

Boo for that! My company's different - we have "corp all" emails about joining brackets.

 

[NoleFan2U]

I am in. Ended up with 2 #1 seeds and 2 #3 seeds in the final four. I suppose i really didn't want to win this year.

Crazy thing is... corporate has a company wide bracket with Amazon gift card prizes run thru CBS. I swear this is all way too "1984" for me.

Im new to this. Am I required to pick UF to get bounced in the first round?

Not to my knowledge, but in my personal opinion you're being inappropriately generous with your use of capitalization.

Is this the official tourney thread? Is this where I discuss OSU getting jobbed? Or USC? Or how Syracuse is in over Louisville and Notre Dame? or Kentucky getting sent to Boise? Or Arizona and Auburn being seeded lower than expected?

Discuss what you wish. I too was perplexed by which ACC bubble team got in and which ones didn't.

On a side note, the NIT has one helluva field this year.

No kidding. Nebraska went 13-5 in the Big 10, winning 8 out of their last 10, beat Michigan on the road, had a 1 point loss to Kansas and their only bad loss was getting trounced by Chris Mullin's St. John's Redman..... and they are a 5TH SEED in the NIT.

So many HSOs in one place.

In! What do we win? One week of moderating duties?

 

[GoNolesTX]

One week of Johnnie Holmes as the moderator.

 

[Semiologist]

I know nothing about NCAA basketball this year. So I'm gonna win based on the fact that the lady in accounting, who picks the winners based on better looking uniforms and/or names she likes, usually wins. "Ohhh...purple....favorite!"

 

[DFSNOLE]

Oh Hell No!

Keep getting an error message from Yahoo. I may miss out on underwhelming the field this year.

Got it. In like the Flynn.

 

[PoopandBoogers]

The Miami game was awesome. They lost on a rebound converted to a full court sprint and buzzer beater shot to Loyola Chi. Dont even care that I had um winning.

 

[FSUTribe76]

Normally I root for all ACC teams even Duke and North Carolina in the tourney. But I was secretly happy Miami went down like chumps.

 

[NoleinATL]

Heck of a shot by Gray in the Houston game to give them the lead

 

[Manch.]

The good news for Arizona is that they clear all that cap space when Trier and Ayton declared for the NBA after the game, the bad news for Trier and Ayton, is that they'll have to take a pay cut.

The ACC has done extremely well the past couple of years, and that run is about to end, but what about the PAC-12? One and done equals two and que for the PAC-12.

Many pundits bemused Virginia getting a raw deal being paired with Arizona and Kentucky, but Kentucky looked shaky and their streak of hitting at least 1 three a game since 1988 has come to an end.

 

[JohnnieHolmesNole]

Arizona does what Arizona does best: chokes against far lesser teams and makes a quick exit from the tourney.

 

[NDallasRuss]

So far my bracket is performing about as well as I expected: T23/35

Tied with me?

Here we go Friars, here we go..

Small world, I worked with a guy who went to Providence. He was a backup goalie and decided to relief pitch in his spare time for the baseball team. They ended the regular season against FSU. He said our team was gracious beyond belief with being sympathetic to them losing their program. Because of how our players treated his team, he has been a FSU fan since.

 

[NDallasRuss]

Tied with me?

Yes - although you're at least on the first page. I've been relegated to the second page, from which I'm not likely to recover!

 

[FSUTribe76]

Per ESPN Stats and Info, since the formation of the Big 12 in 1996-97, none of the six major conferences has failed to send a team to the round of 32.

Oh course that changed this week with the PAC-12 going 0-3 losing two of the play-in games and Arizona getting destroyed by a mid major.

I’m feeling pretty good about being in a 7 way tie for 25th place right now, getting ready to make my weekend move.

So is UMBC. up 12 with 4:07 to play. The ACC is going to crash hard like my bracket.
