Ok Duke won.. now BYU is going to lose

I'll be perfect today except that loss. The only other most probable loss is Arizona.

Anybody who went 14-2 is probably in the bottom half of pools nationally. What a terrible first day of hoops. Of 16 games, 13 were won by the favorite, by double digits. Only one game came down to the last minute. CBS should apologize.

I've got a beef with Gonzaga and Davidson, both ranked in the Top 25 playing each other first round.

I couldn't believe that when I first heard it...and that game yesterday just proves how ridiculous that seeding really was.

Seems like this happens to me and people alike every year, the first day my bracket does so well then the second day it just goes downhill...

Had Drake beating WKU and going on to beat San Diego and losing in the elite 8 to UCLA (all was going as planned till the buzzer)

Had Vandy going to the sweet 16 as well, they just laid an egg in the first round...they would have gone on to beat Clemson, but wait Clemson let a 18 point lead disintegrate.

Thats about it as of right now..I still like the look of my elite 8. (Pitt, Texas, UCLA, Xavier, Georgetown, Kansas, Louisville UNC) What do you guys think??

Bstonbruin, who is loving this time of year.

Not happy about Pitt being ousted by Michigan State. My bracket would have been done if UCLA lost tonight.

hahaha.

im pissed davidson won but at the same time makes it look easier for UW to pull out of the sweet 16 into at least the elite 8... but ive got um beating kansas and going to the final 4 (im obviously a bit biased)

i have 11/16 left.

but i'm pretty much screwed since i had g'town going to the final 4 and pitt beating memphis next round.

i'm tied for 4th currently. i have an outside shot since some of the people ahead of me picked different finals.

im sitting at 10/16 now and possibly could go 7/8 with only Duke being a bust in the Elite 8 in my bracket so I COULD be perfect through the championship round after that.

SWEET 16

UNC>WSU
TN>LOU
KAN>NOVA
WISC>DAV
MEM>MSU
STAN>TX
UCLA>WKY
LAST GAME DOESN'T MATTER WVA - XAV

ELITE 8
TN>UNC
WISC>KAN
UCLA>WVA/XAV
MEM>STAN

FINAL 4
TN>WISC Don't be mistaken though, I'll be rooting 4 UW all the way!
UCLA>MEM

WINNER
UCLA>TN
