Lost my first Sweet 16 team in UConn, but I'd assume that 99.9% of brackets lost one with both UConn and Drake losing, as very few would have had either SD or WKY in there.

[strawbossisevil]

My bracket isn't perfect (I've had three gaffs in USC, Temple, and Drake), but I did have San Diego winning their match up with Uconn. Which felt awesome after the Drake loss.

Well, when it was 7-0, I thought this game was gonna be a blowout. Mount is hanging tough though 15-12 UNC

[lcbj68c]

I spoke too soon.

[Mr QL]

Ugh. UConn losing kills my bracket. Only got 3 wrong but I had them UConn going deep.

[lcbj68c]

Ok, seriously. How long is CBS going to be stuck on UNC-Mount St Mary. We all know Sienna is gonna beat Vandy, so just switch over already so I can watch an upset and not the #1 overall seed waltz through walk-throughs.

[lcbj68c]

Squeaky Wheel gets the grease :pats self on back:

[strawbossisevil]

Good thing that those CBS Executives spend time on Brewerfan. :-P

i may be alone on this, and sorry to stray away from this topic, but "strawboss", what is the purpose of having that completely disturbing, disgusting animation as your avatar??? just my opinion, but if I were in charge of these message boards i wouldn't allow something so graphic and disturbing to be displayed. i could go on, but the bloody keyboard thing keeps flashing in my peripheral vision, so i need to close this window...

[Fatter than Joey]

I feel the same way about Russ's avatar

[Brewtacular]

if that avatar is graphic and disturbing...life must be hard.

[RU Rah Rah]

It's probably not my favorite avatar, either.

[jason21nl]

the coach on Villanova just got Td up, how freaking stupid of him.

 

and apparently Clemson can put their hands all over Villanovas players and its called good pressure

[strawbossisevil]

Updated avatar for Menotti's viewing pleasure.

[pitchleague]

great day of hoops. I can't believe all four games in Tampa were upsets. Nice!

 

can we have the great avatar debate somewhere else? although, I'm not sure which is worse--the bloody guy, which I thought was amusing the first time I saw it and then moved on, or the (what I'm guessing is the) bible beating guy, which I find offensive, especially this weekend.

[craigharmann]

My brackets have been busted. I did a facebook one, and I missed 8 in the first round. I joined in the yahoo Brewerfan one and I missed 10 in the first round. In the Yahoo one, I was trying to pick a few more upsets that didn't happen, but as a fan, watching college hoops, yesterday was a very fun day. I'm going to attempt to watch most of the day, as I do have an event tonight and need to get to bed early, as I have to be up at about 4 am tomorrow, but I'm looking forward to exciting games, Wisconsin winning, and maybe Marquette playing tough.

[PeaveyFury]

Fortunately, while I lost 2 Sweet 16 teams, so did 99% of people. I had Vandy/UConn, and almost everyone else had some combination of Drake/Vandy/UConn/Clemson, so things worked out quite well so far.

[RU Rah Rah]

I am surviving, bracket-wise. The funny things is that I did a 4-way pool with my brothers-in-law and my three-year-old son, who basically picked by mascot. (It was generally pretty easy, expect for Standford v. Cornell.) He's in third right now, with one of my BIL's lagging in last.

[fondybrewfan]

Yay I am in last!!!

[Mr QL]

Yea, my bracket has been busted too. Had UConn in the championship. Up until that I was doing pretty good too. I knew San Diego was good too and thought they could pull an upset until I saw they were against UConn. Oh well, can cheer for upsets and Wisconsin/Marquette now.

[homer]

I'm in first place in one bracket I did - payout is like $900. Anyone have better than 28 right so far? That's the best I've seen in any of the pools I'm involved with.

[razzzorsharp]

See ya Duke, first round exit would have been sweeter but I'll take this.

[tristarscoop]

When I turned in my bracket at work I got all kinds of crap for the upsets I picked, but I'm the only one that picked Siena so they can all kiss it!

[don1481]

Now I'm mad. Why can't they just put on the last 3 minutes of Duke's thrashing and THEN go to the Wisconsin game?

 

Here I was enjoying Duke getting it handed to them.

[craigharmann]

Mmm...I like upsets....I like upsets better when I pick the upset! WVU over Doooke!
