Oh no
I know, and I caught some major grief for it at work today--I've won the pool twice and I've come down to the wire with at least one other person 4 or 5 times (can't remember which). They like to tease me because I know nothing about college basketball and I just get lucky. Guess the luck ran out!!

Wow, that's ... interesting.

I've changed mine to Kansas, Syracuse, Kentucky & Villanova with Kansas beating Kentucky in the final.
I hate to take a risk with A&M...I need to make back the money your VB team lost me last night!

can I get a box of tagalongs for my pain and suffering?

I was able to stay up very late on Wednesday to fill out my brackets. Had today off which was outstanding to get to watch the entire day.

Must find a way to watch on Fri & Sat during work shifts!

I went with Syracuse & Jim Boeheim to win again. Beating kentucky in the final. Maryland & Villanova round out the Final 4.

For once, I am not high on the Big East overall. The losses from the Big East conference did not hurt me too badly today. Didn't have those particular teams going too far. Would have been a different story had Villanova not advanced.

I did lose a decent number of minor games today. No serious damage so I still have a shot. Only 4 others took Syracuse so I am likely just competing with them.

BFC.. I would've went with Cuse myself.. The absence of their big man worried me a bit.

The beast ain't lookin so good after having 3 teams in the final 4 last year.. but hey.. what do I know, my team is in the NIT and squeeked out a 2pt win.

My team eeked out a 2 point win in NIT also & I agree with you that their counterpart is looking great to repeat as champs.

As far as losing their big man, I was ok with that because they have 4 other double digit scorers & are 7 deep without him. I was also hoping that he would play SOME during the tourney. I will have to check if there is any chance of that.

It's 7 & time to put on CBS.

I've got Kansas, West Virginia, Syracuse, and Duke in the Final Four, with the final matchup being Kansas and Duke. Kansas take it all.

Keep in mind, however, that I know nothing about college basketball...lol.

Very good! I'm at 24-8. I don't really have a sense, though, of how "most" people are doing.

Apparently nobody has a perfect bracket now out of the @4.7 million playing in the ESPN bracket tournament (there were 56 perfect brackets at the end of last night, but they all washed out today).

In looking at the "featured brackets" there, it looks like we're both doing better than most of those folks (mostly people in the sport biz, although President Obama is also doing better than all of them with 250 points and 1520 possible points remaining...lol).

Scoring my bracket the way they do on ESPN, I currently have 240 points with 1420 possible points remaining...

Who knows what will happen in the next round, though!
