greengobbla has 2 sweet 16 teams out

jason's girlfriend has 2 sweet 16 teams out
3afan has 2 sweet 16 teams and 1 elite 8 team out (vanderbilt)
My (Adidas) 17th bracket has 3 sweet 16 teams and 1 elite 8 team out (arizona)

Jason's Mommy has 3 sweet 16 teams, 2 elite 8 teams, 2 final four teams (usc & uconn) and 1 national finalist out (uconn)
Emerson1 has 2 sweet 16 teams out
RusselT is a guy i used to work with who apparently didn't fill out his bracket - he did however get his one pick right (north carolina)


nobody in the league picked san diego to beat uconn - only 3 people picked western kentucky to beat drake - neither of those 3 had western kentucky on to the next round, so that part of the west bracket is a wash to everybody - good job to those who picked western kentucky

[yoemenkracker30]

go blue can vouch for me that i have 24 points in our facebook bracket challenge....i had oregon making it to elite 8 (my upset story of the tourney) and drake and vandy to sweet 16 so that kinda killed me

GO TEXAS !!!

[Texasfootball2]

I like the fact that I still have the most possible points along with jason.:D

In my initial bracket I accually had Davidson beating Georgetown in round two and change it at the last moment. WOW, that would have been a sweet call, but at least I'm still in it for know.

i would give up the prize for a texas win...

of course, i would still get second :D

I feel a little uneasy about UT beating Stanford. Tough matchup for the horns. If they survive Friday I like my chances with the horns in the elite eight. Part of the reason I picked them to win it all was the fact that they would play close to home in round 3-6, could be just what the doctor ordered.:thumbsup:

this is through last nights games:


http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/42/picture1eo6.jpg



the asterisks (*) denotes how many correct picks you had last night

to the right of your missed games (if applicable) are picks for tonight - (midwest, midwest, south, south) - if an * replaces a team, it means the pick has already been eliminated

jason**** -- (kansas, *, memphis, texas)
kozmo_txfb2**** -- (kansas, wisconsin, *, texas)
my (adidas) 17th bracket*** (missed xavier) -- (kansas, wisconsin, *, texas)
bwdlions*** (missed xavier) -- (kansas, *, memphis, texas)
emerson1**** -- (kansas, *, memphis, texas)

3afan** (missed xavier & louisville) -- (*, *, memphis, texas)

chs_cg*** (missed louisville) -- kansas, *, memphis, texas)
mwynn05** (missed xavier & louisville) -- (kansas, *, *, texas)
jason's girlfriend*** (missed xavier) -- (kansas, *, memphis, texas)
pirate4state** (missed xavier & louisville) -- (kansas, wisconsin, *, texas)
adidas' other bracket*** (missed xavier) -- (kansas, *, *, texas)
jason's mommy** (missed ucla & xavier) -- (kansas, *, memphis, stanford)
tdjr** (missed xavier & louisville) -- (*, wisconsin, memphis, texas)
russelt (missed all) -- (*, *, *, *)

from just glancing at things, it looks like davidson vs wisconsin could cause the biggest shakeup, seeing as how nobody has davidson winning ANOTHER game, only those who have wisconsin going to the next round (6 people have that) can get the points and would essentially take the lead (unless they choke on the other 3 games)

[Adidas410s]

this is why I hate having so many brackets. All but 1 of my other brackets had Xavier over WVA...this one had Az over Xavier. GRRNESS!!!

Next year...back to 1 bracket.

there are still a bunch of scenarios and a bunch of people who can still win - the games on saturday and sunday will probably separate the front runners though...

i think if anybody has somebody above them with more 'possible points' and the same champion as you, you are basically out because it will be so close, the 32 points for the final will put you over the hump...i could be wrong though....

congratulations to our 1st and 2nd place finishers....


thanks to everybody who participated, i hope everybody enjoyed it....it was a good tournament and it came down to the finals.....

guess we'll do it again next year....


to the winners:
hypothetically, if we had been playing for something, those prizes would probably be sent this afternoon or tomorrow morning - but that is all hypothetical.....


and might i point out that 3 out of the 5 girls were 3 of the bottom 5 finishers, and that includes a guy who didnt fill out his bracket....i guess girls just can't cut it when trying to hang with the guys.....:D :D

[Adidas410s]

The girl that finished in 4th place is my fiancee though! :D
