Wmcmanus Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hey, thanks for that, Mike, but unfortunately I didn't get in on time. It wouldn't let me make any picks for the round of 64. No worries. I've submitted my picks elsewhere online and of course am getting slaughtered. I almost called the Dayton upset, but didn't quite have the guts to do it.

agile_one Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 ^^^ I know ... Mercer, seriously? Thanks for just about blowing my bracket, since I was riding Duke to round of 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvlgato Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Gawd, my bracket' a mess... But so are a lot of people's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmcmanus Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Don't feel bad, Gene. I had Duke getting beat in the national championship game. I had Oklahoma State getting to the Elite 8 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I am so fucked today ... - Duke - OK State - Oklahoma - UMass Where does it end? At least my final four are still alive, and that's where the big points are. There, I feel better now. You are all going down, suckahs.

HeadphoneAddict Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) I was blown away by the Duke game. My daughter has gone into isolation after the game, may not hear from her until next year.... In a way I'm not surprised that a team full of seniors with 113 games together beat a team full of freshmen and sophomores with a defense that's ranked #98.

jvlgato Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah! Tied for first! Some amp head guy has me on a tie breaker. But I had Duke in the Final Four, so could be in trouble then ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmcmanus Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Just got 21 right out of 32. Most years I get more like 25. One the plus side, there were a lot of good games to watch these past couple of days. Edited March 22, 2014 by Wmcmanus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agile_one Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Indeed ... Kansas just went down, decimating my Elite Eight into a Fab Five. At least my Final Four are still alive, but looking shaky at this point. Lots of great hoop action, though, so can't complain about lack of excitement. Nice meet table. Justin.

Wmcmanus Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Now pulling for Wichita State, the only team remaining with a Wiggins. if they can't win it all, then I'd love to see Florida get it done. Proud of the way both of these teams have played like TEAMS all year long. Kansas had the same problem that Duke and Kentucky had this year. Lots of talent but lots of freshmen, and that usually doesn't work come tournament time (Kentucky's great Anthony Davis team being the exception).

tyrion Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'm hoping for a Wichita State win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 So was I, Mike. That was an ugly finish. Kentucky is lucky and got some questionable calls. I am well and truly fucked now, as Wichita State ws in my Final Four. Now I just need North Carolina to win to put the final nail in my coffin.

Wmcmanus Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 The entire State of Kansas is in mourning. Go Gators! I've still got Iowa State and Baylor to 'represent' for the Big 12, but for the most part I'm now just a spectator and no longer a fan. Lots of good games to watch, so I'm not complaining. My favorite time of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agile_one Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 I didnt pick UVA. 13 years of no trust I did, and the Cavs along with I State were pretty much my only bright spots yesterday. In fact, UVA is in my Final Four (what's left of it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) My bracket basically sucks but my final four is intact along with 7 of the elite 8. My best bracket is in a money pool with some college friends. I really should have followed that one, where I didn't send VCU to sweet 16 and correctly picked the entire section for ND State vs. NM State. I'll be rooting for UCLA this weekend .

Wmcmanus Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) I got 21/32 and now 10/16 of those are still active, but I've lost both teams I picked to be in the championship game, and yet somehow I'm in the 62nd percentile among over 100k fellow idiots on the Bleacher Report online tournament.

justin Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) i have a feeling that the high percentiles among everyone is an indication that most brackets are being computer generated in an attempt to cover unlikely upsets. i was 98% on ESPN until UVA won, and gambling on a #1 losing in the round of 32 only dropped me to 94% Edited March 25, 2014 by justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmcmanus Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Good point, Justin. Probably a lot of truth to that. Makes me feel better knowing that there is a pretty good chance that I am as stupid as I think I am. With my sucky picks, I was struggling to understand how I could have been less stupid than the average person who at least tried to guess correctly.
