10/16 in my pool. Duke (2), Kentucky (2), WV (2).

Only three people still have a chance at having their championship right.

I was actually still okay after the Villanova loss, only because my SO stood to win $1100 in an office pool. Kansas, however, busted us both.

The games are still great to watch and, yes, I am looking ahead to baseball's opening day.

I had Kansas losing next round and Pitt winning it all. I'm still alive for another day.

I'm kicking myself for not going with gut. I had Pitt winning it all, then I jumped the Kansas bandwagon

Great games by St. Mary's and Northern Iowa. These were the first two games of the tournament I was able to watch and I don't think it will get any better.

Yes! U Dub Huskies are rollin'! Looks like the team finally figured out how to play without the Seniors they lost last year.

Yes, they looked impressive today. I was a little frustrated with the coverage as it kept jumping back to the Huskies up 22, even though Kansas/N. Iowa was tight with under two to go.

Is it sad that a bracket that I had randomly generated only has two less wrong than one I actually filled out? If the random one wouldn't have picked three 16 seeds to win in the 1st round, that one would be doing better. So either I suck, or this tournament is very unpredictable.

You had to be there, I guess.

You have an Excel spreadsheet to randomly select the bracket?

Me, too. It must be an accountant thing.

A couple years ago it would have won the office pool had I entered it, so I have entered it every year since. It is middle of the pack right now.

I use Excel for the pool I run.

Another great game with Xavier/Pitt

March Madness has been great for this person that typically despises basketball.

Looks like your gut was wrong too.

Go Kansas State...

I can make big buck if they progress through the tourney and I think I win my pool if they win it all.
