(+) Yeah! (+)

I have Kentucky winning but I am always willing to lose points on my bracket in exchange for a Kentucky loss

No threepeat for UConn

I have Florida winning it all and that match was always stressful. I briefly considered the upset there but wasn't feeling it.

Yeah, my wife had UConn going to the Final Four and I have Florida in the Final Four so that was a big win for me!

I had UConn over Florida and Kansas over St Johnsso close.

Please don't lose to Kentucky

Finally a buzzer beater

Got 10/16 of the Sweet Sixteen right, which isn't great, but I've still got 7 of my Elite Eight teams and all of my Final Four teams survived the first weekend, which I feel like rarely happens for me!

11/16. (Iowa St. and Illinois losing today.) Elite Eight all still alive. Pretty sure I've done better in terms of Sweet 16 right, but having all Elite Eight alive still is nice.

Duke's region perfect and Florida's region almost perfect if not for St. John's.

Going a bit wild with early upsets burned me so far, but I'm one of only two people in my pool to pick Houston as the champ, and the other one had St. John's as the runner-up, so I'm still in the running to win 4 straight years

But if Houston doesn't win then Purdue better do it for the coin flip!

I completely forgot about the coinflip. Time to see how poorly I am doing...oh not horrible actually. I'm in the middle with some okay potential to hang around that range. However, nearly everyone ahead of me has some ridiculous amount of potential points remaining, so I have 0 expectations of improving. I'm just hoping to remain in the Top 10.

I've got Alabama in the Final Four and this game is why they can make it

I just hope they're not using all their good shooting in this game...!

i'm good with them using all their good shooting there actually >.>

I thought Texas Tech was dead in the water but absolutely heroic effort to force OT here. 4-0 still alive.

I'd be good with Arkansas winning so nobody gets any points

I didn't realize until now I'm tied for 1st in the Yahoo league

Same with me. 113 points is just crazy.

...and I had Kansas winning the other game.

It's still jarring hearing the announcers talk about Texas Tech's head coach because he has the same last name as me (which is not common), albeit it's spelled a little differently

Gotta say it with an S sound not a Z though

never in doubt

ya go my Vols

Wreck Kentucky please

good job Tennessee, played well on both sides of the ball

Let's get that first Final Four

Went 8/8 on the Elite Eight. Now that's a first.

Florida > Michigan St.
Duke > Tennessee

for the rest of my bracket

Yeah, it's a weird feeling having my entire Final Four still alive

All SEC Final Four let's go

uh oh this is starting to become worrying

Oh no my all-SEC Final Four

haugh trying to single-handedly save my bracket lol

They can't keep getting away with this

Well, they can for this game but then it needs to stop

wtf was that three this is ridiculous

Bad foul by Texas Tech, almost a 10 second violation there

Yeah, they bailed Florida out there.

That's back-to-back Texas Tech games where I feel like I got really lucky being on the winning end.

Huge run for Tech to force OT and win in the Sweet 16. Huge run against Tech (+ choking at the FT line and a dumb foul) to lose in the Elite 8.

i'll take it though

Coinflip league is all but decided. Either DP and I both win, or DP wins if Duke advances to the Final Four

Looks like Bama used all their hot shooting against BYU after all

One day Ill remember Tennessee cannot be trusted to win games, ever, in any sport. What an embarrassment.

Get out

Tee Martin winning the year after Peytron Manning graduating does not disprove me man. That was borderline worse.

Literally won the College World Series last year

Spend your ignorant vitriol elsewhere and get it away from my team

Like your inability to be considerate of others is staggering

Pretty rough spot to be in. I did worry about picking Tennessee in this game but man they'd really being doing me a solid if they somehow found a way out of this. =(

Okay I stand corrected. Never watched a single college baseball game ever.

I always forget college baseball is even a thing since there's not even a team in my state. I consider it the South's equivalent of hockey in the North. Both sports there aren't country-wide the way football, basketball, and volleyball are.

Also my bracket at ESPN is the best I've ever done. Currently at 89.3% and I got both Florida > Texas Tech and Duke > Bama correct.

I do have Tennessee winning here but I had Gonzaga over Houston since Houston often chokes in the dance. That's the one "problem" with my bracket but it's certainly better than the whole thing being busted.

My last pick this round is MSU > Auburn and I know that's gonna be a great game.

Itll be so boring if all the 1 seeds make it.

Hasn't that only happened like 1-2 times?

All 1 seeds only happened once. 2008, IIRC.

Did think NIL is going to make that more likely in some respects as it kinda smothers the ability of mid-majors to go on Cinderella runs and picked with that kind of thought in mind.
