Exclusive OFFICIAL RipCityTwo March Madness Thread

[blazerkor]

Houston held off Northern Kentucky but if they don't have a healthy Sasser they won't beat Auburn.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

My bracket is perfect!

 

[hoopsjock]

Aww, man... now I feel bad!

To be fair, I basically look at you and Torey as one person now...

Either way, glad you're in. Get your other half in there too.

Oh don't feel bad, I was messin' with ya. People make that mistake with Torey and I all the time, ha ha.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

I'm going to create a March Madness group for us all to participate in. No money, just fun. I'll do it via either Yahoo or NCAA.com so that those diametrically opposed to ESPN's existence might participate. Go ahead and create a many brackets as you want. I'll post a link once it's set up.

you should have put brackets in the title. I thought it was just a discussion thread until i went in to vent on Arizona and then realized you guys had brackets going. I would have definitely participated.

Another mod fail….

The thread's original title was "RipCityTwo Bracket Challenge" until Wednesday, but everyone ignored me except @Strenuus and @crandc. I cried for a while, then changed the title.

South Florida and Marquette in overtime. I have Marquette in my bracket.

I had had Marquette as well, but fortunately I (like everyone else) had them going down to the Gamecocks in the next round, so no real harm done. I also went with West Virginia over Arizona, so I'm 0-for-2. Can Georgia get me my first correct pick?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Xavier needs to pick it up!

For real. My bracket will be toast without them.

Already lost an elite8 team yesterday in Arizona; not loving that I might lose a final four team today in Xavier.

 

[TBpup]

Pac-12 lighting it up!

(is green font really needed?)

PHEW!

 

[Strenuus]

Damn xavier wtf why you go and make it like that? I got them in the elite 8 but after that I have my doubts.

They're battle-tested, man!! This is the game that's going to propel them to the final four (but no further @Shaboid, I don't care what your bracket says!)

I have Georgia. Maryland cruising. South Carolina as well. Expected.

There's "expected" and then there's "up 30 in the 2nd quarter". Kinda feel bad for Holy Cross. Still, feels good to finally have some of my picks winning, though it's not much of an accomplishment with 1 & 2 seeds. I'm going for UNLV over Michigan in the game that's about to start though--another upset pick that will probably get me back to my losing ways.

 

[Shaboid]

Pittsburg starting out 19-2! Cyclones better pick it up!

 

[crandc]

The overall #1 seed, defending champion, against a team in their first NCAA. Expected a slaughter.

Notre Dame killing on St. Patrick's Day. Would rather watch Michigan but don't have ESPN-U.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Is Purdue going to loose to FDU?

 

[KingSpeed]

We need size. With the #1 pick, the Portland Trail Blazers select Zach Edey!

 

[crandc]

Mississippi State needed a play in to get to the tournament. They just upset #6 Creighton. We have a Cinderella!

The first 4 days of March madness are the best.


The rest of it is a waste of time but the fairly Dickinson stuff is so good.

 

[Mediocre Man]

That was so shocking the 1980 Russian hockey team just called Purdue and mocked them

Waste of time? Watching hungry kids, which 98% of will never make the NBA is 10x better than the shit I’m watching right now.

I love the sport of basketball.

The product of college basketball is unwatchable but I agree with the other stuff.

The sport of basketball is awful right now as a whole. Largely unwatchable. Not like 10-15 years ago.
