March Madness

[iveofione]

Arizona proving early that March is Madness!!

Gotta luv those bracket busters. Hopefully a win or two more to become true Cinderella teams...

I also had Arizona losing to Baylor. I have a hunch that my bias towards the Big Ten is going to kill my bracket…again. Penn State still plays this evening and we’ll see how tomorrow shakes out.

Guess I had Arizona in the elite 8 and Virginia in the sweet 16.

 

[Merle]

I’m an Arizona alum so I always have them going far in my bracket. Man what an upset. My bracket’s totally busted now!

... That means at least 18,000 picked Princeton and Furman, what, were they throwing darts? Clearly, folks who do not follow college hoops.

Or are much smarter than us…I find myself rooting for the big underdogs even though it crushes my bracket

Absolutely root for the underdogs, except against those Jayhawks (they've had their share of upset losses), but usually you maybe pick 1 major upset per region, this was 2 in a single region - madness.

Cheers and Rock Chalk ...

I just looked up the story behind "Rock Chalk" - that's a very cool tradition. Good luck in the tourney (except against Purdue) and Boiler Up!

Having Alabama in the final, the VA and AZ upsets have a silver lining for me. Hoping Baylor doesn't bust me like they did last year.

I'm probably more worried about the right side, with GU making the promised land over AL.

SPARTY!

Go Green!

Whelp, I'm up to the 16th percentile....

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, I'm catching my first bits of college basketball yesterday and today.

Fairly Ridiculous University aka Fairleigh Dickinson University, is really taking it to Purdue so far. I was not expecting this.

They had a 1 point lead at the half…

It is a very fun game to watch...

 

[Brute]

The Zags game is close as well…

 

[RRSmith]

Boiler down… another choke job.

 

[Peyton00]

FDU.....what a game!

David and Goliath.


Gotta love the underdog.

 

[Coach Potter]

Wow…

 

[Bruce Baker]

Boiler down… another choke job.

So fu***** disappointing. I hate seeing a Big Ten team go home. But what an exciting game to watch!

 

[Peyton00]

How embarrassing for Purdue. Second time in history. That squad will carry this loss for the rest of their lives.
