NCAA March Madness (merged)

Um...apparently, I finished my bracket up except for making my championship game and winner picks. That was cool, except Cal bit it this afternoon to make my matters worse. :( oh well....
 
Glad the Zags are back. I have them sticking around for a while and they looked awful for a while. I would like to see Few take the 'Zona job though more than likely he'd go to Oregon when he decides to move on.
 
Watching this game now also reminds me that the tourney is in Oregon for the first time since it hit prime time (it was in Corvalis in '83 which I believe is the year before it expanded to 64). Tickets were going for over $2000 a pair and that appeared to be on the third level. Is that normal??? I know Sac gets it every 2-3 years it seems. Apparently scalping is actually legal in Oregon which doesn't help the situation.

If its a sunny day on Saturday I may jump on the bus with the baby and go see what its like outside the Rose Garden. Lord knows we can't afford to get in :)

You could get tickets for all 4 games today in Greensboro for $169 total. I know Radford was offering some of their alum tickets for $45.
 
That Michigan Clemson game was closer then i thought it would be. In the end Clemson keeps with tradition and loses it after a late comeback. Purnell is now 0-6 in the tournament and has to be on the hot seat at this point.

Was that a year ago in the ticket lottery or within the last 2 months? I know face value of the tix here was around $175.

well the face value was $169 a while ago. But two of my friends went down there today, they got their tickets on stubhub about two weeks ago for right around $200.
 
These night games might be boring. Ucla and VCU has some potential but VCU has so little talent behind Maynor and Sanders that i don't expect a lot.

Wow, guess we're just really tourney starved here then!
 
Whats everyones Final 4?
Mine is
PITT in the East
UNC in the South
UCONN in the West
and...........
NORTH DAKOTA ST. in the Midwest!!! Watch out for them BISON!!!
 
Big of a Pac-10 jocker as I am I actually picked an upset here, VCU I'd appreciate you at least keeping this close, thank you!!!
 
VCU just has no guard play outside of Maynor. Hopefully Sanders stays out of foul trouble and makes this a good game down the stretch.

My final 4 is UConn vs Kansas and NC vs Nova. UConn and NC in the final with UConn winning it all. Picking Kansas over Louisville is a stretch but i really like this Kansas team. Though about picking Syracuse to get past NC on the way to the final 4 but in the end i decided to only make one risky pick with Kansas.
 
Well UCLA blew a 10 point lead in about a minute. Looks like this is going to be good game down the stretch.

WK is dominating Illinois, can't say i saw that coming.
 
Wohoo! Let's go VCU! I would have had a perfect bracket on the first day if wasn't for those pesky Texas teams (Texas A&M and Texas)
 
UCLA is starting to play sloppy, but for a good portion of the game they were playing some of the best basketball Ive seen from them all year.

This really could have been a breakout game for Jrue, He has been getting to the baskett almost at will but just cant come up with the finish, he is still playing pretty well though. I'd keep him on maynor the rest of the game.
 
Man, Collison inside again and can't finish. Collison always gets outplayed when he runs into good guards but i thought UCLA had enough to take this game easily. Shows what i know.
 
Well, UCLA tried to give that game away.

Looks like my round 1 is going to be 14 of 16 (when IL loses). I'll take the score, but I hate that IL is going down in the 1st round. :mad:
 
I shocked myself on the 1st day with 17 pts and a several way tie for 2nd place. My only 2 losses were teams that I have going out in Round 2, so maybe... It feels good for today. Maybe I won't even watch tomorrow. :p

Actually, I thought there were some pretty good picks, so far in the 1st round. Several people got a lot of points considering how many games were played.
 
I think I am 12/16 for the day but nobody lost today that I had advancing so so far so good.
 
Woohoo! Look at me! Last place - fully expected, but I am glad to see I am succeeding so early. :D
 
Ok I didn't dig out the rabbit ears so I'm breaking down and watching online. Its the day before spring break here anyway.
