UdubBadger · 03-18-2011, 04:56 PM

guardianangel3290 · 03-18-2011, 05:07 PM

guardianangel3290 · 03-18-2011, 05:16 PM

I didn't expect us to beat Tennessee. I rather would have saved the embarrassment we're going to endure at the hands of the rapists.... I mean, the Dukies...

I didn't have Michigan St (really? you picked them to get to the Elite 8???) or St. Johns but I did pick Lville and Vandy to play each other with Lville coming out on top...

Gotta love March Madness!

NCAA needs to implement a playoff/tournament system for football too.

adrean8j · 03-18-2011, 06:08 PM

Fuuuuuuuuuuudge.....I had Memphis beating Arizona as well...and they lost by 2....I would rather have a team get blown out...then I can say that I completely got it wrong...but these 2-3 point games are driving me nuts!

Mich St has been money in the tourny the past few years. I figured Izzo's team was both a dark horse and a safe bet haha.
And St. Johns has been awesome this year. I was 100% they would be a force in the tournament... fuck. lol

UdubBadger · 03-18-2011, 06:35 PM

Yeah so my sweet 16 is all perfect still EXCEPT Louisville. Fucking Pitino

Chewy734 · 03-18-2011, 07:30 PM

Both games were f'n awesome! Thank god George mason pulled it off at the end. Should be a fun Sunday for Buckeye fans!

NFIDDY5 · 03-18-2011, 07:49 PM

I filled out two brackets. One with tOSU winning it all and another with Duke winning it all. I am not worried so much about our depth, more worried about 1) us going cold shooting the ball, 2) if Sully, Lighty, and/or Buford getting into foul trouble (I guess that is the concern about depth mentioned above), and 3) playing Syracuse in New Jersey and then facing Duke immediately after. Especially now with Irving back in the mix. Once the 2nd round hits, there are no more upsets. Ranking, seeding, and stats mean nothing once its down to 32 teams. Its all about who shows up, plays solid on both ends of the court, stays out of fould trouble, and has things go there way. Hell, George Mason scares me...

And why does no one belive in the Buckeyes? The B1G was by far, the best conference overall this season. Everyone said the Big East was the best this year and last. And only one team made it to the second round last year. And the ACC is still UNC and Duke...just curious why they still get no love.

adrean8j · 03-18-2011, 08:36 PM

Well they were talking Conference play...EVERYONE knows the NCAA Tournament is a whole different ball game. That is why teams like UNC , Duke...hell even George Mason get seeded in the tournament. I love how George Mason plays like that little scrappy guy on your HS football team that plays like he is 6' 4" 230lbs cause he has a chip on his shoulder about being underestimated....there is a team like that every year in the tourney.

UdubBadger · 03-18-2011, 08:40 PM

Even thought I have Kansas in my final 4 I'm rooting against them all the way

Chewy734 · 03-18-2011, 08:42 PM

It was a close game at the half... after that, it was all Kansas.

serge_chez · 03-19-2011, 01:01 AM

25/32 after round 1. FML.

adrean8j · 03-19-2011, 02:12 AM

23/32 even MORE FML....

Same here bro. Richmond and Morehead screwed me.

UdubBadger · 03-19-2011, 10:32 AM

1st round, as long as you have 22-23pts you're fine. Every year I'm right around there an I always make up all my points on the back end of the bracket and win.

Picking a close or perfect final 4 is much more important - hell, just picking the nat champ is like 40 pts isn't it?
