This isn't looking so hot for me right now.
UCLA down, lots of foul trouble, no/one timeout(s) left...not pretty.

'fraid so. Brace yourself. We're about to get passed by a herd, like we were standing still. In fact, we are standing still.
Which means it either goes to WildCowboy or ziwi. Okay, MacNut. Here's your chance to root against a Mod.
Sigh. I had to work tonight - missed both games entirely. The Florida/UCLA game didn't turn out so well for me. I need OSU to win now!

Yay! I'm suddenly doing pretty well.
I started very badly (picked only 8 of the sweet 16), but now I'm coming on strong (6 of the final 8, 3 of the final 4, and both Florida and OSU in the final).
If OSU wins I'll tie for third with iRachel (my bracket is "best").
But... I can't actually bring myself to root for OSU (I grew up in Ann Arbor and am a Michigan fan, through and through).

Top 10 Finishers
Okay, it's a slow Monday afternoon. Anyway, here are the top 10 finishers based on present status and projected 32 points for picking tonight's winner. It's been fun, and congratulations to either WildCowboy or ziwi.
Actual result, after Florida takes it all.

Top ten either way for me...not too shabby.
It should be a really good game tonight, I'm excited!!
When was the last time the final game was on Passover? I saw a lot of people in the parking lot today, leaving early, and I realized it could be for the game (which is at dinner time here in Los Angeles) or because they were going to Passover dinners.
Ugh...looks like I'd better get prepared for a fourth-place finish.
Had I been able to make the pick today, I definitely would have picked UF. But way back when I thought OSU was the team to beat. Oh well...it's not over yet, but I don't see OSU coming back to win. So I'll send out a congrats to those who picked UF a bit early. And an extra big congrats to ziwi for coming on strong at the end to take the championship.
And I'll happily eat my words of OSU does in fact come back.

Congrats, ziwi!
Oden was a monster out there, but he got no help from outside. Florida is just so good at every position...you can't beat that.

I just saw that I won...thanks everyone. Just got lucky I guess
So where do I collect the prize money? It was some good fun thanks to everyone for playing.
Ha! There is, however, a championship avatar floating around, and feel free to proclaim yourself the victor in your signature.So where do I collect the prize money?
And, of course, congratulations. Well played, sir, well played.
Congrats, ziwi! Your bracket is interesting -- only two of the final four, but enough stuff earlier to carry you through (plus the title game). 97th percentile is pretty amazing!
Congrats ziwi!
As for my own picks, I think I did pretty well until things turned a bit sour at the end. Oh well. Hopefully next year will be better.
