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

rangers85 · 03-18-2006, 08:03 PM

That would be mine now that Illinois lost.

So far I've lost 2 final 4 teams (Nevada and Illinois, Illinois I had beating Duke for the championship).

Elite 8 I've lost 3 of those teams (Add Mich St onto teams I've lost)

Sweet 16 I've lost 6 of those (Syracuse, Tennessee, and Wisconsin-Milwaukee join the group of missed picks)

All this after I went 27 for 32 in the first round. Could still lose up to 2 more Sweet 16 teams tonight if Indiana and/or UCLA lose later tonight.

Haha thanks, I knew I'd have a bad day today after only missing 5 first round picks. I seem to always either suck the first round or second round, last year my first round was horrible and I recovered by still getting the second round wins I needed. This year it's the reverse.

Yeah the Big Ten has been very dissapointing thus far.

tim_uwrf · 03-18-2006, 10:51 PM

The Illinois game didn't affect me much, I had them losing in an upset against Air Force

Jeremy Weimer · 03-18-2006, 10:53 PM

Air Force? Bwahahaha. Good one, Tim.

you too huh. I'm missing six of my Sweet 16 but only 1 of my Elite 8 and none after that.

PerfectMisnomer · 03-18-2006, 11:09 PM

Six of my sweet sixteen are gone, and two of my elite 8. So much for winning $10,000

rangers85 · 03-18-2006, 11:09 PM

Well Indiana's loss knocked out another Elite 8 team for me. So that's now half my Final 4, half my Elite 8, and 7 of my Sweet 16, and I still have half the second round to go

Looks like the Big Ten was overrated, and the Pac-10 and SEC were underrated. Plus, andymac gets my applause for really knowing how good some of these mid-majors are from the MVC.

XxCardinal42xX · 03-18-2006, 11:44 PM

1st office pool 3 sweet 16 teams out, and no elite 8 teams
2nd office pool 5 sweet 16 and 1 elite 8 out
3rd office pool 2 sweet 16 teams and 0 elite 8 teams
4th and final office pool 4 sweet 16 teams and 0 elite 8 teams

Jeremy Weimer · 03-19-2006, 12:59 AM

I still have all of my Elite 8 left, thank god.

Jeremy Weimer · 03-19-2006, 12:59 AM

I'm missing 5 of my Sweet 16 though.

JDOldSchool · 03-19-2006, 01:21 AM

I lost 6 first round games and I still have all but 3 Sweet 16 teams (and all my Elite 8). I expect two or three big upsets to kill me tomorrow.

The Sweet 16 teams I've lost are Cal, Nevada, and Indiana.

matskralc · 03-19-2006, 01:40 AM

I'm "only" down five Sweet 16 teams (Iowa, Arkansas, Illinois, Tennessee, Nevada) and one Elite 8 team (Illinois). Even if I totally bomb out the rest of the way, I'll still have picking the Bradley-over-Kansas upset to hang my hat on!

twins15 · 03-19-2006, 01:48 AM

I have lost 4 of my Sweet 16 teams, but I didn't lose any today, which was really sweet. Of course, I'm expecting for my bracket to fall apart tomorrow, but if I can somehow keep UConn, Texas, Villanova, and Georgetown alive, I'll be doing well.

Hofstra still deserved to get it!

Uh, yeah. Although I guess losing 7 of 9 is rather impressive.
