As I have now watched a college basketball game this year (Go Irish), I feel confident in winning an NCAA pool.

Gauging interest before I set it up on Poolhost.

A trifle hard to make picks. THEY haven't made the announcements apparently yet but it says we only have four days. You can tell I'm really up on this especially now that the Aztecs lost.

Selections tomorrow at 5:30 EST. (clocks forward, yo.) Gonna be interesting this year. Sparty and VA look dominant to me, but what heck do I know. :confused: :irked:

I got 3 of 4, but KS got the nod over Sparty. :saywhat: :shakehead:

EDIT: Sparty beat KS, BTW.

Still scratching my head over the Sparty diss. Ranked #2, 7 teams from the B1G into the tourney. Sparty beat KS, tOSU beat UK, Sparty beats tOSU three times. And then they get placed in the UVA side of the bracket. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Yes they had a 3-game losing streak mid-season, but Valentine was out.

Nope, I guess Poolhost is assuming the 1 seeds will beat the 16s, no matter who the 16s are.

Now, if a 16 does shock the world, it would certainly screw up a bracket or two.

Ain't. Gonna. Happen. That being said, nothing would surprise me with so many upsets this season 1-10. :saywhat:

They used to allow you to print out the brackets. This is the way GManFan and I make our picks. Now bupkis. :mad: Anyone have a link to another site that has the brackets in printable form? Thanks.

Marj, I'm looking into it.

I know (or I thought I knew) that ESPN, SI, and CBSSports have printable brackets.

Now both of the playahs in da house are finally finished. We have very different brackets, ending the same way. Adjusting the spectacles, I finally noticed the box for the tie-break points. Should be interesting! :laugh:

My East bracket is still clean, and keeping me in the game.

And I had a hunch Indiana was going to beat Kentucky.

Killer finish.

I still think NC State vs. UNLV was the bestest, but dang that was a good game, and a GREAT finish. And kept my mom from winning the family pool. :gomer: :D ;)

I'll agree with the exciting finish. Even exciting at the end of the first half. But in the middle? NC froze and didn't get underneath, Valpo nearly choked. Oh well. I'm a TravelGal, not a SportsGal.

I missed some of the middle due to a certain 15-0 beat down on opening MLB day. :gomer: :D ;)

Saw the last two minutes, after watching the Blues game. Pretty much all you needed to see,

Thanks all for playing. NFL pool starts in five months. I may have some interest after the Rams to LA pain fades. Until then, go KroenkeSucks in the Nascar pool.
