I'm not playing the NIT, Nas, but thanks for asking. I'll let you know once the real tourney starts...

I knew what you meant, just messin' with you. You're a bit early on the post. Reminded me of the AP shorts that come out saying "so & so sat out tonight's game against..." when the actual game hasn't even started yet. Come to think of it, didn't Mitch Albom get squeezed on something like that? Reported something prematurely and it turned out to be totally inaccurate?

I have BC in the Final Four so I'm screwed if they don't win. The weird thing is my first upset pick was having Pacific winning the upset. Why I then picked them to go so far then is beyond me. Oh well...

Holy crap, double overtime now. This is great stuff here.

I had UWM over OK

So did I. Good pick. I also have Winthrop beeting Tennessee so this is huge for me right now.

I had Wichita and BC. (BC to the final 4 for me so that was a bit of a scare) But I had Oklahoma in the final 8 so I just took a hit. LOL

I also have Tennessee losing to Winthrop. Winthrop is up by 1 right now with a few minutes to go. That would be huge.

I need Marquette to get the job done or I'm in trouble. Otherwise, so far so good...

I'm torn. I had Tennessee in my bracket, but was pulling for the upset. Bruce Pearl's a sweaty cock. I do have Wichita State beating them next game.

Sweet. Looks like Montana is going to beat Nevada. A whole lot of upsets so far. I wonder if this will keep up tonight.

Yeah Alabama screwed me too but not a big deal. Upcoming games, I need UCLA to win (have in final game) and have Iona beating LSU in an upset starting in an hour. This could get ugly.

I had Marquette getting to the sweet 16. Oh well, I might be in trouble anyway, cuz I had them falling to Indiana in that round. I don't have much respect for UCLA (or any team west of Iowa for that matter, except for Texas I suppose), and that might come back to bite me.

I don't really like UCLA either, but I get burned every year by picking against Duke early. So I put Duke in the Final 4 this year to get beaten by UCLA. Best I could muster.

No need to qualify it, my man. We all think we're a genius until the games actually tip off, then it seems no one can believe how so & so could possibly lose to such & such.

Next year I really need to take these first 2 days off of work. Sucks sitting here at a cpu watching the ticker. I need to be drinking, smoking, and yelling at nervous teenagers on a big screen.

Nevada losing hurt. I had NV beating BC then falling to Villanova.
Marquette losing hurt as well...I had them upsetting UCLA and then dropping to Gonzaga.
5-2 so far....

Nas, I just noticed you have a Kansas vs North Carolina final. You realize we're not picking the 2002 tourney, right?

Close, had OK winning.

I took off today like I do every year. I've been drinking since noon so I'm pretty hammered. But this has been a great day of basketball. If Illinois wins I'll be 8-3 in our pool. But the Oklahoma loss is the only one that stings.

I finished Thursday 11-5. On 4 of my 5 losses I had them out in the next round anyway. But I had Oklahoma in the Elite 8. I think I still have an outside chance to win this but I need a big day on Friday.

my bracket is sh*t

I was doing "okay" for my final 8 and beyond until yesterday when UNC lost. I had them winning it all against UCLA. Oh well. Wait until next year I guess.

OSU losing hurt the most for me.
i have 8 teams left and only 3 of 4 for the final four

I'm bad, just bad. I haven't had the stomach to look at my brackets since friday. Maybe cooler can come up with a booby prize for me, because I think last place is mine.
