Washington is a pretty good team. Playing in Portland is huge for them.

I've missed a few upsets along the way, but my bracket is in FAIRLY good shape so far. I didn't expect perfection, or anything close to it, and I'm not competing with anybody. To win the prize from ESPN would require nearly superhuman presicion in an uncertain game.

jbergey22 · 03-19-2009, 11:16 PM

All that needs to be said is the big ten frikin blows. Hopefully none of you have any of them teams getting far.

jaxmagicman · 03-20-2009, 10:48 AM

So I only lost one sweet 16 team yesterday, Clemson, and I only missed 4 of the games. So 12 out of 16 is pretty good especially when I didn't lose any elite 8 teams! Hopefully will have more of the same today.

I almost had 1 huge bracket buster with Memphis playing like crap earlier on.

jaxmagicman · 03-20-2009, 10:38 PM

I only lost 1 sweet 16 team from both days! Nice. So now I am trying to get Siena to win so I can go 15/16 today.

jaxmagicman · 03-20-2009, 10:49 PM

Oh well never mind. The best I can do today is 14/16 if Siena wins. I have FSU who isn't up much so that game can't be called. So if they lose I got 13/16 and if Siena lose 12/16. But I only lost Clemson in my sweet 16 and no Elite 8 teams. Good first round. At worst I go 24/32. If Siena and FSU wins 26/32.

Erik W. · 03-20-2009, 11:04 PM

Finally some excitement. The opening round had been darn boring before tonight.

jaxmagicman · 03-20-2009, 11:23 PM

So I miss 7 over the first 2 days. Pretty good. Only one pick I looked back and couldn't figure why I picked it and that was Missippi State over Washington.

Dude everybody knows Utah only won their Bowl Game because Alabama didn't care anymore since they weren't playing for the NC so they didn't try

jazzrack · 03-21-2009, 01:39 AM

wake killed me

MorseMoose · 03-21-2009, 09:13 AM

I went 24/32. After those 8 first round wrongs, I can still go 100% throughout the tournament. I'm in 3rd place out of 350+ people in one bracket and 1st in a 25 person bracket.

Thank goodness for some dumb luck picking Arizona over Utah and then Arizona over Wake

jaxmagicman · 03-21-2009, 10:22 AM

I have Wake losing to Arizona as well, so it didn't hurt me at all that they lost. Though it was one of the first round games I missed.

mauboy · 03-21-2009, 10:37 AM

I still have 15 out of 16 sweet sixteen teams. This is the day where I start losing all of my picks... and then tomorrow as well. Happens every year with my brackets.

Michael Hopcroft · 03-21-2009, 10:53 AM

I have only one Sweet 16 team out so far (Wake Forest). That's bound to change given my luck yesterday.

jaxmagicman · 03-21-2009, 07:00 PM

Doing good still. Got every game right today so far. I had no chance in the Oklahoma game though because I had Clemson winning, and they had to lay an egg in the first round.

jaxmagicman · 03-22-2009, 10:13 AM

Best day of the Tournament so far for me. Got every game right. Now today is a different story. I have Dayton beating Kansas and Arizona winning. So lets see if that can happen. I don't know why I picked Dayton other than thinking Kansas isn't as good as their seed, but I am probably going to get my ass handed to me with that one. Good thing I don't have them going any further than the Sweet 16.

Michael Hopcroft · 03-26-2009, 08:47 PM

Will the person who tied up Greg GUmbel's tounge please cease and desist?

Pitt came back in a game they had no business winning. UConn dominated their game. Memphis plays in about five minutes.

Michael Hopcroft · 03-27-2009, 10:56 AM

Well, that blows MY bracket to heck. Good thing I don't really care about my bracket....

Actually, Memphis getting schooled surprised me. I really did think they were the best team in the tournament.

His Own Bad Self · 03-28-2009, 06:33 AM

Tough day to be an Arizona fan. Although, as one of them, I wish I could say that I saw it coming. I thought it might go down like this, but kept telling myself that UA had a chance.

As boring as the chalk is, I'm impressed by every team remaining. Here's hoping the final seven games are all fantastic.

Prodigal Son · 03-28-2009, 06:45 AM

Does anyone care about the actual basketball, or does everyone just care about their brackets?
