Okay, go Tex Southern, you guys can knock off Texas, I know you can do it.

**H Tower** · March 18, 2003, 20:16

Just so you know we aren't playing an upset bracket

**reismark** · March 18, 2003, 23:46

Don't worry about the play-in game, it doesn't count. (That's why I increased the Final Four round from 15 to 16 points, in order to maintain the perfect 300 I set up originally.)

And while I'm at it, I just got this e-mail from CBS re: the BYU situation...

The placement of BYU in the South region creates the possibility that BYU would have to play on Sunday should they reach the national quarterfinals (the final 8). School policy dictates that BYU may not play on Sundays and, as a result, the NCAA may alter the bracket if BYU wins its first two games.

Any changes made by the NCAA to address this situation, including switching BYU with a team from a different region, will not be reflected in our bracket. You will continue to receive points based on how far your selected teams advance. So long as a team wins in the round in which you have them selected to win, you will receive points regardless of their opponent or any change in their position in the bracket.

If you haven't submitted your picks already, don't forget that the deadline in the CBS SportsLine.com Bracket Challenge, Presented by RadioShack, is 11:00 AM ET on Thursday, March 20. Be sure to make your picks early and avoid the last-minute rush before the deadline.

I think we all want to see BYU lose fast

**poison_flower** · March 19, 2003, 01:15

We won... we won... we won!!!

I hope they continue to do well!

don't they have to beat texas to advance to a round where they can make trouble? I'm not too worried about that happening

**Dis** · March 19, 2003, 02:09

I have to root for other Mountain West teams.

No, all they have to beat UConn in the first round, then beat either Stanford or San Diego, then there is a problem.

Residmark, if you see this, please authorize me and I'll make my picks quick-like-a-bunny.

Sorry, I've been on the road and missed this thread... :sad:

**reismark** · March 19, 2003, 22:35

Check your PM's, JRabbit.

And after much internal debate, I finally finalized my brackets... the Wildcats (the Pac-10 version) over Oklahoma.

**-Jrabbit** · March 20, 2003, 10:39

Thanks, Reismark. Locked and loaded.

**Ming** · March 20, 2003, 10:49

There is still time for people to sign up... but you better hurry...

**Adam Smith** · March 20, 2003, 13:11

ITS SHOWTIME

**Guynemer** · March 20, 2003, 15:55

Please tell me none of you were foolish enough to pick perennial flop Cincinnati over perennial overachiever Gonzaga.

**Ming** · March 20, 2003, 15:59

Gonzaga won a good one...
Marquette won a very close one over the 13 seed...
And Cal won at the buzzer over NC State.

Let the Madness roll.
