MARCH MADNESS!!!
 
So, the brackets are about to announced soon. I know we have about 2 different Yahoo leagues, so I won't ask for predictions. But I will say that UofA will make it at least into sweet 16. :cool:

RoXer 03-13-2005 02:58 PM

Looks like Florida is going to beat Kentucky.

The Miz 03-13-2005 04:07 PM

Don't mean to sound like a homer here but why isnt Washington at least being considered for a #1 seed? People were talking about Arizona and we beat them twice and with Wake Kentucky and Kansas going down we shuld at least get a mention.

BCWWF 03-13-2005 04:10 PM

I think Washington is getting serious consideration for a number 1 seed now.

Illinois, Duke, Washington, UNC maybe?

BCWWF 03-13-2005 04:11 PM

Actually, if OSU beats Tech right now then they would have a chance to take UNC's spot

The Outlaw 03-13-2005 05:25 PM

Louisville.

Loose Cannon 03-13-2005 05:29 PM

Charlotte is a dark horse. Last year was thier "first look" and now there going to be ready, set, go.

I just wish the dam school was more upbeat about it.

Jesus Shuttlesworth 03-13-2005 05:33 PM

Washington vs Zona was a hot game last night. Salim Stoudemire jumper is so wet its ridiculous. One play before half he was dribbling up the court, stopped on a dime and nailed a 3. It was gross.

OssMan 03-13-2005 05:36 PM

fuck duke

Charlotte vs NC STATE

HOTTTTTT GAME.

The Outlaw 03-13-2005 06:31 PM

Best shooter in the country. He is pretty impressive.

Washington got its one seed, btw.

Bama/BC in the same bracket :o

The Outlaw 03-13-2005 06:36 PM

Louisville with a 4 seed? Pretty ridiculous.

HOT BRACKET THO

BCWWF 03-13-2005 06:37 PM

You happy now Miz?

Rain Man 03-13-2005 06:53 PM

Already filled out my bracket on the Yahoo Pick Em league

Rain Man 03-13-2005 06:55 PM

Glad Nova got a 5 seed. Should be a good game between them and Florida

Jesus Shuttlesworth 03-13-2005 09:20 PM

Norte Dame got robbed

Crimson 03-13-2005 09:23 PM

Yea I think Florida has been disapointing in the last few years in the tourny but this year I think they can make some noise. Im gonna miss friday's work just to watch some games baby

BCWWF 03-13-2005 10:10 PM

I'll be damned, this tourny was real hard for me to pick. I don't have any major upsets, no 5-12's or anything. My final four has Wake-Illinois and Duke-UNC with Illinois beating UNC in the finals

Jesus Shuttlesworth 03-13-2005 10:25 PM

I picked one 5-12 just because I had to

I also picked a huge chance in one of my final 4 slots..We'll see

Yeah, Salim is the shit. I don't really like his attitude though. Seems like he's always got an ego. Good player though.

Ike Diagu(sp)(Big man for ASU) is someone I'm really impressed with. He recieved pac-10 player of the year this year. And I think he is eligible for the upcoming draft.

Jesus Shuttlesworth 03-14-2005 12:11 AM

Duke has by far the easiest road of all the #1 seeds. I didnt think they had enough to make it final 4 this year but now I don't know. It was tough for me to find somebody to pick againest them, but I did...with a sleeper. Gonna make or break me in the Yahoo thing

Loose Cannon 03-14-2005 10:10 AM

Took a number of chances in mine. Probably going to kill me, but whatever.

I think Syracuse matches up well against Duke. I have Syracuse in the final four. Personally I hate Duke so I may be blinded by my heart.

My elite 8 surprises are UTEP and Georgia Tech.

Call it gut feelings, but I have Kentucky and Kansas exiting early. Second round losses for both.

RoXer 03-14-2005 12:16 PM

I took a shitload of chances in mine. Definitly going to lose this year.

BCWWF 03-14-2005 05:26 PM

I have three ACC teams in the Final Four with Illinois. I don't like Syracuse for some reason, so I had them losing to Duke.

Savio 03-14-2005 05:48 PM

Here's the brackets some one should set up a contest thing.

RoXer 03-14-2005 05:52 PM

Or join one of the two Yahoo leagues we have.

The two topics are right next to eachother and they're not even half way down the page :nono:

RoXer 03-14-2005 11:06 PM

I have Arizona beating Stanford in the final.

BCWWF 03-14-2005 11:24 PM

I had Stanford winning it all last year :nono:

We are in agreement for the final 4. I have Illinois over UNC in the final. I think Wake Forest will have the toughest test, that bracket is pretty crazy with Washington, Gonzaga, Louisville and Georgia Tech all being good enough to take it. Hell even Pacific isn't a cake walk.

Jesus Shuttlesworth 03-15-2005 11:46 AM

Yea I'm starting to second guess a lot of my choices right now. I know if I change one, the thing that I had 1st will happen. If I leave it though, the thing I was gonna change it to will end up happening :mad:

RoXer 03-15-2005 11:53 AM

Exactly

BCWWF 03-15-2005 12:26 PM

I think that I might change mine so that Louisville makes the final four.

Also, The Gooch isn't Louisville/Georgia Tech in North Carolina's bracket? Not Wakes? Or am I wrong?

Savior posted the brackets on the previous page, post 27.

Albuquerque is hosting Washington, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Gonzaga all in the same bracket. It is going to be a fun bracket to watch.

BCWWF 03-15-2005 12:32 PM

Yeah I just checked too and I was wrong, even so though, UNC is going to be tested to get there

Sorry for being a moron, but do you have a direct link to the Yahoo site where we join? I been screwing around at work to try and find it without luck. I have all the info to access, but am a little lost.

I'm a UConn fan so I sure hope they get tested. My brain says UNC, but what the fuck does it know? I can see Villanova causing some problems too.

Yes I've seen those two links, but where do I go from there? Where do I use that information? I don't play fantasy leagues online so I am a little on the dim side when it comes these things.

BCWWF 03-15-2005 05:36 PM

I used to think that Villanova could be the spoiler, but now I think they will come in cocky and lose to New Mexico

The Gooch 03-17-2005 03:01 PM

From your profile I assume that statement has to do with Alabama's loss and not a direct response to me.

Unfortunately I have a firewall issue at work when it comes to Yahoo so I had to set myself up on ESPN to do my picks.

The Outlaw 03-17-2005 03:24 PM

Yes, yes it does.

Oh well...we played like crap the first half, they couldn't miss a shot, we couldn't get a break, they got all of them. Put all of that together and you get a 12 seed "upsetting" a 5 seed. I said before the game I wouldn't be surprised if they put it to us and they did.

Props to them fast negroes though.

Supreme Olajuwon 03-17-2005 03:25 PM

Hmm Pitt and Bama lost

FUCK

The Outlaw 03-17-2005 03:25 PM

Word. Had both of them going to the sweet 16 :(

Loose Cannon 03-17-2005 03:34 PM

Yea, Double Fuck

Also Had Niagara upsetting Oak. They blew it in the 2nd half.

1-3 so far. :mad:

The Gooch 03-17-2005 03:36 PM

I only lost Alabama in the first 4 games. I have Boston College beating Alabama in the second round so it is not too bad on my picks.

Reading the summary, Milwaukee was draining everything. Not much you can do when your opponents shoot the lights out. I guess that is what makes this tournament so great and so painful for fans.

The Miz 03-17-2005 03:52 PM

Haha dicks. 4-0 so far. 1-0 on upsets (thank you Milwaukee) :cool:

Supreme Olajuwon 03-17-2005 04:01 PM

Milwaukee wasn't supposed to be the 12 seed to win. It's supposed to be GW or Old Dominion. Booooooooooooooooo

Yeah im 7 for 8. I Only miss was Iowa/Cinny. Thats not a big one cause I have UK in the Sweet 16. :cool:

The Outlaw 03-17-2005 07:09 PM

They were 10/16 from the three point land at half. 8/11 at one time.

Until Coach changes his philosophy, we will also be loaded with talent but never go deep. Last year we only did because we were underdogs and noone believed we would do anything. CMG has gotten us to the tourney for four straight years, which is the first time since like 88-92 (aka the sprewell/horry/robinson days), but he just doesn't coach smart.

If Mike Anderson had CMG as an assistant coach/recruiter, UAB would be CRAZYYYYY good.

RoXer 03-17-2005 08:13 PM

7/8 ATM

Alabama fucked me up

SammyG 03-17-2005 08:47 PM

6/8 so far, fuck, TEXAS BETTER WIN

The Miz 03-17-2005 09:12 PM

God dammit Texas and Iowa

BCWWF 03-17-2005 09:38 PM

Who did Texas play again?

I hate to admit it but I am watching NBA right now, the Lakers and Heat keep trying to outdo each other and there are some pretty sweet plays.

Loose Cannon 03-17-2005 09:54 PM

well I started off 1-3 and now every one of my teams has won since then, so I'm pretty good right now.

HAD NEVEDA :cool:

LOL I knew Creighton would do it :love: Had a big hunch there

BCWWF 03-17-2005 11:38 PM

in most pools, you could lose every first and second round game but if you choose the right final four and champion you will still win.

Damn I had 'Cuse in the final 4. Oh well, I really just didn't wanna pick Duke outta that bracket so I went on a reach :(

Atleast it was a New England team beating them...

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS ASWELL AS OTHER NEW ENGLAND SPORTING TEAMS > YOUR REGIONS FAVORITE PROFESSIONAL AND NCAA TEAMS

BCWWF 03-19-2005 12:14 AM

MIZ-FUCK k-U!!!!

kANSAS JUST LOST TO BUCKNELL!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Miz 03-19-2005 12:19 AM

lmao @ Kansas.

:mad: @ Syracuse though, broke my bracket

Loose Cannon 03-19-2005 12:22 AM

:'( I'm a Kansas fan. All my teams that I was rooting for are gone. Kansas, Niagara, Syracuse and Charlotte.

Supermark101 03-19-2005 12:36 AM

So how bad did Kansas losing hurt everyone? I had them losing to NC in the round of 8. F*ck and I was going back and forth between them and UCONN. O well Im still 28-4 so fare and Kansas was the only bad lose I had. Anyone else have Wake losing tomarrow?

BCWWF 03-19-2005 12:42 AM

I reaallly wanted to take UVM over Syracuse, but I just didn't think they could do it. I don't really like Cuse and I like Vermont, I was super pissed when they were seeded so low but I can't believe they won!

Lotus 03-19-2005 01:33 AM

29 out of 32 today and yesterday, but I lost 2 sweet 16 teams (Syracuse, Kansas) and I had Kansas making it to the elite 8.

Evil Vito 03-19-2005 10:30 AM

<font color=goldenrod>I had both Syracuse and Kansas making the Great 8, and Syracuse making the Final 4. I'm fucked</font> :mad:

Savio 03-19-2005 12:05 PM

Yeah my brackets almost totally fucked.

Evil Vito 03-19-2005 12:29 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Oh well, at least I've still got 3 of my Final Four alive (Illinois, Wake Forest, North Carolina), and 6 of my Elite 8 (Arizona, Louisville, and Oklahoma are the other teams)

Who am I trying to kid, I'm fucked either way.</font> :o
