Actually, that is surprising news, especially considering UT is playing Winthrop.

UT = Texas

I picked Winthrop....oh well. My old boss went there. I'm sure he had fun considering how close it was though.

[Berzerker]

not a good start for me

Pacific almost pulled it off... that would have been really nice.


BTW, a big to CBS for switching away from the BC-Pacific game right before the beginning of 2OT to show Tennessee's warm-ups. Fortunately, the only thing we missed was BC's running away with it, but it's the principle of the thing.

U of I had better go far

I'm the only one that picked Montana!!!!

Montana and Nevada used to be big time rivals back in the 80's.

I knew Montana would do it.

But, I think I am nuts to go with Gonzaga.

Why in hell did I do that?

ACK!

I picked Montana in my pool

Go Big Sky Conference!

[Guynemer]

Helluva finish to the Indiana-San Diego St. game.

[Hot Mustard]

You've got to be kidding me. It was so lame that San Diego couldn't find the umph to put them away the many times they had the chance. Davis and co. don't belong - and look like it.

I grew up rooting for Weber State.

When they beat North Carolia in the 90's was the highlight.

ACK!

awww.... Is somebody a SDST fan?

I just wished I had told myself that the Cuse Depaul game was not a fluke and that they were an early exit.

I don't regret taking nevada over montana, but I do regret taking them over B.C. now.

oh, and Joe Matise is my hero for taking the Illini to win it all. I hope you're right

[Sikander]

I got almost no sleep today (I work nights), but it was damn well worth it!

Nope - someone just thinks Indiana and Davis are quitters and didn't deserve the win.

[Guynemer]

A pathetic 20-12 on Day One, but on the plus side I lost only one of my Sweet 16 picks (Syracuse).

And the Oakland region, which I said was wide open? I'm perfect thus far.

Illini

I'm quite annoyed about 'Cuse, another bracket (at work) has them beating Duke

[Hot Mustard]

I'm 12 for 16 so far, and of those picks I had winning that lost - I had none winning in the 2nd round, so the damage to my overall bracket was minimized.

My misses:
N.C. Wilmington/Geo. Washington - close one
San Diego St./Indiana - the better team didn't win
Marquette/Alabama - underestimated 'Bama
Nevada/Montana - 12/5 magic at work - I already had A&M over the Orange, so I didn't pick the traditional upset here

I think the facts prove otherwise. The Hoosiers are 6-2 since Davis announced he's leaving, and playing much better BBall. He was doomed to failure there, no one could successfully follow Bobby Knight, expectations of national championships were unrealistic.
