My R1 was pitiful. 19/32, Down 3 S16 teams (and UK in the E8)

going 1-3 on the last window both nights was brutal. At least I swept the first 4 games today.

Tennessee has been ice cold this first half and we're still leading by 9 at halftime

If they can get their shooting together, they should win easily

I originally planned to not check the brackets until it was over since I knew that my bracket was screwed after the round of 64. I have a low max score, but I'm sitting in the top half of the Men's ESPN group at least, so that's not awful. Everyone still has their champion left, including the person who picked NC St. to win it all and McNeese St. in the Final Four

27/32 then 13/16. Elite 8 is all still alive. Sitting at 99.6% on ESPN.

Has to be the best I've done in a long time, if not ever. Of course, the seeds to get to the S16 are 1, 2, 3, 5 and 1, 2, 4, 11 and 1, 2, 3, 4 and 1, 2, 3, 5. So a pretty chalky bracket would have done you pretty well this year.

19/32 then 12/16. Still just Kentucky down from the Elite 8.

Almost went 13/13 for R2 games where I had a live team but Baylor choked their comeback. Down 2 at the FT line shooting 2 with a 80% FT shooter. misses both. "whoops"

but then they really had no business getting back in that game to begin with lol

Man, maybe I should have made a men's bracket this year.

I've paid no attention to men's ball at all. Like the only thing I knew going into the tourney is that Purdue has a really tall guy who is good.

i may have made a mistake putting arizona in the finals (granted having them over uconn was just to differentiate from the likelihood of uconn dominating pools but that still means i put them in the final four!)

Neither one has ever made a Final Four, so we'll get at least one first time ream.

Tennessee and Creighton have never made one either, so the winner will at least get a shot at it in the Elite Eight.

Houston looked fine until Shead got hurt in the 1st half. Duke then closed the half on a 13-6 run I think it was, and they have been in control despite it being a small lead since.

I'm defaulting back to UConn for the sake of the Big East (never forgive it being broken up by football realignment) but Tennessee definitely second and I'd be good with them winning too!

Went almost 10 minutes of game time with no points

Go Iowa! Fun game, Iowa really didn't struggle too much despite playing reckless and Caitlin not having a good three point shooting game. She had no issues driving to the basket or making assists though.

Speaking of assists. Caitlin officially becomes #3 on the all time assist records for Women. Insane when taking her scoring into account.

Next up is the finals rematch with LSU which they will probably lose again. LSU is just so much deeper and more skilled over all, in addition to the fact that they will dominate rebounds against an Iowa team that is really weak at the big where LSU is strong.
