QFT

Had VCU winning in all of my brackets...

7/8 in the South (had Long Beach as my upset), without any forward losses.

4/5 so far in the Midwest (had GT), without any forward losses.

4/6 so far in the East, with my upset sweet 16 GW giving me a forward loss; also had TT, but not going any further.

3/4 so far in the West, with the Duke loss hurting me badly--I figured Coach K could get them to overacheive their way into the Elite 8.

So far...

7/8 in the South, had Albany, no forward losses.
4/5 in the Midwest, had ODU to the S16.
3/6 in the East, had Marquette, GW and Texas Tech, but no forward losses.
3/4 in the West, had Gonzaga, my biggest loss so far (I figured they'd upset UCLA for revenge from last season and carry the momentum to the E8).

Would love for Oregon to pull away right about now.

Illinois gagged big time.

Very surprised by Purdue's victory. They seemed to be the epitome of Big Ten mediocrity this year....

NMSU comes up short in their upset bid against the Fighting Durants.

[snoopy369]

Sad to see NMSU lose. I thought they really had a chance to win that one, and apparently I wasn't that far off. (I grew up in Las Cruces, and my sister goes to school there) They played a great game with Nevada a few weeks ago that went to the wire...

I was quite disappointed they were given a 13 seed. Their conference is better than that, and their team is definitely better than that. With an 11 or 12 seed, they'd have had a good chance at a sweet sixteen bid I think...

[Deity Dude]

Sorry I didn't get in in time BUT..... After looking at my first round I am glad I didnt But I still got 15 of my Sweet 16 in.

Just for the heck of it Ill give you my sweet 16 that I got into Yahoo on time. For some I reason I always have trouble getting into this site.

Sweet 16

Fla vs But
Ore vs Wis
Kan vs V tech
Duke vs UCLA
NC vs Tex
Wash ST vs Georgetown
OSU vs Tenn
Tex AM vs Memphis

Elite 8

Fla vs Wisc
Kansas UCLA
NC vs Geogetown
OSU vs Tex AM


Final 4
FLA vs UCLA
NC vs OSU

Chamopinship
UCLA vs NC

NC 78 UCLA 72

Not that it means anything in this pool but I still ike to be part of the crowd.

[Deity Dude]

Now if the Spartans beat NC somehow - I predict they lose to UCLA in the Championship.

Might sound crazy but they already beat Texas at Texas. Georgetown is very over rated and the worst of the final 8 in my opinion. As for OSU, Spartans lost at the buzzer one game and in the last minute in the other. I figure they are due against OSU.

Anyways thats my wishful thinking.

Guess what school I went to.

[Guynemer]

I went to that school down south, and I'm pulling for the Spartans. I think they will upset the Heels tomorrow.

The Choking Illini...

The Salukis...

[Guynemer]

25-7 is probably my best first round ever. How sad.
