NCAA ripcitytwo bracket

[PDXFonz]

Not me. I tried to keep my upsets to a minimum. I usually go crazy on those. Makes me wonder if anyone has Weber State winning, just for Dame. I think my biggest mistake was having Oregon go too far. I think they lucked into the 1 seed.

I actually ended up picking more "upsets" than I usually do.

I just went with if their mascot is a dog they win.

 

[Strenuus]

So, does the loser have to cuddle with @BlazerWookee ?

I would consider that a win...

Really?

Really?

Unless the mascot is a duck...

My Odds I Give Each Upset Based On Seeds
8/9 & 7/10 - Coin Flip
6/11 - 65%/35% (~2/4 Upsets)
5/12 - 70%/30% (~2/4 Upsets)
4/13 - 77%/22% (~1/4 Upsets)
3/14 - 83%/17% (~1/4 Upsets)
2/15 - 91%/9%
1/16 - 99%/1%

I pick accordingly. Those Odds are probably close to what it actually is. That's why I don't like when people pick straight up chalk with their biggest upset being one 10 over 7 pick. If you pick chalk, then you're giving no effort into getting your bracket 100% correct, you're just taking the easy way out to try to win your pool. Plus, the Cinderella you picked is a lot of fun to root for.

That's just my opinion.

Didn't want to start a new thread, so I thought it would be best to put this here.

Join the Holy Backboard pool on ESPN and the winner will take home this DA:ME Time tee (red or white, winner's choice) courtesy of evanempdx!

Does anyone have a betting pool I could join? I wanna put some money on the line

do i need a yahoo email address?

I am not sure, but I think I had to start one for yahoo fantasy a while back so I just used that. Try signing up and seeing. Anyone else know for sure?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

do i need a yahoo email address?

I don't think so. I know one of my friends used a gmail address once. But maybe it was his secondary not primary.

Bragging rights.

Bragging rights.

That's enough for me. I need to add to the Sig anyway

Winner Of the first round gets this. Which is something.

No, winner of the first round gets that, not the entire tourney.

Sorry, my reading comprehension isn't what it used to be.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I would make it the whole thing but I need to get the name to the Blazers so they can get the winner their ticket.

Also I think the Blazer game is happening before the tourney is over.

That makes all the sense in the world.

Do it for the first 2 rounds (Thursday through Sunday)

Doesn't affect me though, I'm not 21

I got the Ducks in the Final 4.

God you are such a debbie downer.

I have them winning it all.

Can this be the thread for observations from tourney games too, or should there be another separate one for that?

Watching Duke-UNC Wilmington. Denzel Ingram from UNCW just ran up court and--with absolutely no hesitation--nailed a DEEEEEEP 3 with 90 seconds left while down 8. Kid's got a little bit of Lillard in him.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

This cat Makai Mason on Yale is legit. Never heard of him before, but watching him single-handedly keep Yale in the game with Baylor, you can tell he's a player. Doubt he ever makes it into the league, but I'm certainly going to keep my eye on him over the next couple years--since he's only a sophomore.

Dude just nailed another shot to give Yale an early lead. He's scored 13 of their 24 points.

Are you frickin' crazy?!? I have never seen such a stu....

Oh sure, I don't see a problem with it.

I need Baylor to not f this up

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I need Baylor to not f this up

Same, I have them beating Oregon in the sweet sixteen.

I also just realized I accidentally picked Iona to beat Iowa St and win in the next round as well. I definitely didn't mean to do that, the names look too similar!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Ten of us got the first three results correct

Yale-Baylor is my 12-5 upset pick, so I'm digging the way this is going. Plus, now that I'm watching him play, I really want to see Makai Mason match up against Grayson Allen in the next round.

However, Yale's basically playing a perfect game so far, and they're only up 4. I don't see them being able to keep it up for the full game.
