The Official, My Bracket now resides in the trash can thread - Page 2

LivnLegend · 03-19-2006, 01:15 PM

So-so in the first round of my office bracket - 23 out of 32 games picked correctly. The important part is only one team I had advancing to the sweet 16 is out (Iowa) so i can make some good progress today and tomorrow.

mauboy · 03-19-2006, 01:49 PM

Today and tomorrow? You mean yesterday and today?

Anyhoo, my bracket is screwed unless WVU gets to the final four for me.. my ESPN bracket will do great if they get to the championship game.

Pitt loses and I am almost certainly done.

did you also pick them to make it to Sweet 16?

BTW - i also took them over Kansas

matskralc · 03-19-2006, 04:10 PM

Pitt's loss knocks out another Sweet 16/Elite 8 team for me.

That officially destroys my bracket also.

This tournament is just getting curiouser and curiouser (or, as I once heard someone say, "more curiouser")

Mine's not in the trash quite yet but it's getting there.

kingpin1976 · 03-19-2006, 07:25 PM

My f4's still good my s16s that are left Must win or I'm trashing mine also.

ESPN Bracket:

10/16 Sweet Sixteen teams still alive pending Texas, Nova and Ohio State outcomes (2 of those looking OK at the moment)
7/8 Elite 8 teams still alive
4/4 Final 4 teams

Facebook:

9/16 so far, also counting on Texas, Ohio St. and Nova here, so 10,11 or 12 of my Sweet Sixteen could still be in. At this point my Elite 8 and Final Four will be OK as long as Texas holds on.

Yahoo:

9/16 of my Sweet Sixteen still holding on, Nova and Texas could make it 11/16 if they both win.
My Final Four is still intact.

mauboy · 03-19-2006, 07:58 PM

With Ohio State out, I'm pretty much done pending a miracle.

mauboy · 03-19-2006, 08:03 PM

Turns out not even a miracle can save me.. i'm finiso.

Hurkman · 03-19-2006, 08:20 PM

9/16, but it'll be 10/16 if Nova can hang on.
6/8 Elite 8 teams left (Kansas/UNC)
4/4 Final 4 Teams left, though UCLA and Boston College both just about gave me heart attacks this weekend.

What really stinks is that I had 7/8 games right yesterday, and only two so far today. That's what I get for taking Bucknell over Memphis...what was I thinking?

Hammer · 03-19-2006, 10:12 PM

Suprisingly I'm still barely alive in the OOTP pool, but need some major help.

I lost Iowa in the first round a team I had in the championship game, but still have 3/4 final four teams left.

I need Duke to get knocked out before the final four, and I need Memphis, UCONN and Boston College to all make it.

I need Boston College to make the championship game and win it all.

If Duke makes the final four there's no way I could win the pool

twins15 · 03-19-2006, 10:13 PM

All my brackets:

12/16 Sweet 16 teams correct.

7/8 Elite 8 teams still alive (missed MSU).

4/4 Final 4 teams still alive.

Great two day stretch for me.
