As long as Duke goes to the finals, I'm OK with them.

If I were gay, Craig Smith would be my #1 choice

I have to dispute that games in Greensboro are "home games" for Duke. The only way it's close is that they don't have to travel far. It's not like they have the crowd on their side. UNC fans, Wake fans, NC State fans, and most other ACC fans at those games will always root against Duke.

Well, the games in SD are going to be delayed because of the bomb threat.

The teams for the first game are still at their hotel and they're supposed to start in 30 minutes. Sheesh!

Have you ever looked at your bracket before any games are even finished and thought to yourself, "what the **** was I thinking? I mean honestly, that's just stupid! What is my problem?!"

Well, I have Oklahoma in the elite eight. Yeah.

I thought I had them in the Sweet Sixteen. I was wrong.

I see how those two paragraphs could relate...being a UT fan...I can only give so much to OU...and that was given because I hate UF.

Feeling that way with Seton Hall, although I picked UWM because they beat BC last year. That team is GOOD. Five seniors, all returning players, can't ask for more. I wish I had them going to the sweet 16.

jaxmagicman · 03-16-2006, 03:13 PM

I would like to repick my bracket and just pick opposite of what I think will happen.

theasfl · 03-16-2006, 03:13 PM

Wichita State officially wins, and the MVC may get some vindication from it...

UW-Mil's pretty close to putting it away as well.

In the BC game, there were a few blown calls that allowed Duke to win? I recall one bad no-call, but you can't say that BC would have won if the call had been made. That's some revisionist history.

Don't worry, I'm a BC fan and really didn't think there were any bad calls. It was simply JJ Redick's pwnage that won that game.

spleen1015 · 03-16-2006, 03:17 PM

All 3 early games are turning into blowouts. This sucks...

There was a bad call late in the game that got Redick to the foul line, but BC wasn't going to win the game anyway.

spleen1015 · 03-16-2006, 03:24 PM

Bloody Hell! I have Seton Hall going to the S-16 in 3 of 5 brackets. Zoinks!

drprestwood · 03-16-2006, 03:24 PM

Too bad about Seton Hall. I'll just have to be 62/63 in the pool this year.

I have Satan Hall in the S16 and Oklahellma in the E8. I'm obviously terrible at being a human being.
