Ripcitytwo March Madness bracket

[Dougnsalem]

I had that pick in a different bracket. Ugh.

Ouch. First time I've done this on Yahoo, and it's pretty cool. I just really want Xavier and St. Mary's to come through. Right, @Shaboid ? Lol

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Damn. That one hurt a bunch of us....

Not for meeeeeeee!

I've picked three wrong so far.

Northwestern, Xavier, West Virginia got me.

Dude, are talking about the right bracket? You didn't pick S. Dakota St. over Gonzaga? Lol

My method of picking- I picked West Virgina, because I've been there before.....

Wow Marquette going to shoot their way into the Championship game from down town. W3s would probably enjoy that.

That is my thinking. The guys at work also noticed Marquette first too. Is Seton Hall not that much of a stretch in getting to the Final Four or something? Because that's who I would have thought would elicit the most reaction.

3 pt shooting much bigger difference stat wise from NBA to NCAA though. 5th in the country not that many more makes or attempts than 17th.

Gonna be an interesting game though. SC plays good defense.

Part of me wanted to make this the bracket I submitted for the group... So far it is doing better than the one I went with.

So if I win this S2 MM bracket do I get any cred or just another lurkin rook?

Are you the one with UNC winning it all?

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

When FSU can set their defense their harder to beat. I just thought FGCU could make it a track meet. So far not paying off....

 

[Trailcatfever]

Hell yes, can't stand Duke and I have Duke and UNC in the finals. By the way Doug, thanks for the welcome. I've been a life time Oregonian and a Blazer fan since the Clyde and Terry days and really enjoyed your sense of humor as you have engaged the board! I've been a lurker for almost a decade now. Really enjoy reading everyone's perspectives. Can't decide if I want to see the team in playoffs or with a better lottery pick this year. I guess I'm a fip-flopper this season. One question for the group: I haven't managed to read the post with Eric having sex with an NBA player even through I've seen it referred to often. Where do I find it?

Wait a minute...... FSU being dumbasses. FGCU has a chance.

 

[ripcityboy]

I thought Oregon could be a contender, then Boucher goes down. Well, there is always next year.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Oh well

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Tonight has been brutal.

Seems like more often than not the Champion handles their first round opponents.

Top tier Championship contenders based on first round results:
Gonzaga
Nova
Arizona

If you picked one of those 3 teams you should feel great about the opening set of games.

I'm not so sure about Nova after today. I mean, sure they ended up blowing out Mount Saint Mary's but they didn't get the lead until 49 seconds before halftime. Mount just ran out of juice but I think if Nova lets Wisconsin have the lead that long like they did today with the Mount, Wisconsin is capable of keeping the lead with their defense.

I think today's game was troubling for Nova and is just the beginning.

Gunna watch Oregon end their chances the next few days.... anybody know any cheap wine/rubbing alcohol to drown my sorrows in?

Their website asks to prove my legal drinking age. That's always a good sign....
