MR NCAA Bracket Challenge!

YIKES! I just got back from the grocery store to find Ohio State down by seven. I picked them as my national champion. They better get going here.

Yep. Starting to get tight now, but crap - this would be bad for my bracket.

59 - 57 Xavier.

 

[xsedrinam]

Dude!!! Adrenaline to OT.

 

[swiftaw]

Holy Cow, Ohio State sinks a last second 3 to send it to OT

 

[emw]

Holy. ****. OT for Xavier-OSU.

 

[emw]

Whew. I feel bad for the Xavier guys (especially having just gone through essentially the same thing last night with Illinois), but my bracket thanks OSU.

It also gives me some confidence that they have the mettle to fight through to the championship.

That's my read, too. A good gut check, and their Freshmen grew, inside and out. Conley played like a Senior, today, all they got the W with Oden, sitting.

 

[iRachel]

Phew. My bracket dodged a bullet there. Now I need Butler to upset Maryland.

Oh no you don't.

 

[emw]

Me too.

 

[xsedrinam]

Maryland's lackadaisical putting the ball on the floor in double coverage is upsetting, enough.

 

[MacNut]

Boo Hiss.

 

[xsedrinam]

Whoa. I had this ready 10 Things to do now that your bracket is busted, just in case. But A&M pulled it out.

 

[iRachel]

Why, why did I pick Louisville to win that game? They almost had it there, though. Sigh.

 

[MacNut]

Georgetown better win.

 

[iRachel]

Georgetown better win.

Yeah, no kidding - I have them in my final four.

 

[xsedrinam]

I picked Vandy over WSU, but seems like every game I've talked about gets the jinx on it.

 

[iRachel]

Double OT coming for Vandy and Wazzu...

There have been a lot of close, exciting finishes today!

...and VCU comes all the way back to tie Pitt - here comes OT!

 

[swiftaw]

VCU - Pitt heading to OT

 

[xsedrinam]

Now VCU and Pitt go OT. Will somebody just swat VCU off, please.
Woohoo. Vandy advances.

 

[iRachel]

And Vandy wins it. crap. The second round is not going nearly as well for me. I'm now 3-2.

With VCU, I didn't pick them, but my guess is no one else did, either, so that won't hurt my bracket as much if they win.

 

[WildCowboy]

I got the Vandy pick, as well as Pitt, so things are shaping up decently for me so far today. At least I'm back in the top ten.

I'm leading another pool I'm in with some different picks...nailed both Vandy and Butler in that one.

 

[xsedrinam]

Anyone getting regional coverage of the UCLA/Indiana game? It looks like a football score at the half.

I was watching a bit of the game...just a combination of good defense and really ugly offense. Not much flow to things.

We've just gone back to that game as the second half starts.

 

[stubeeef]

Been living at a home theater forum for most of the last year.

Was watching the UNC game (of course) and thought I would check in to see what you'all were saying and thinking. What do I find, Nuthin 'bout my HEELS!

Well look out, 'cause here we come.

Hated it for Xavier, they just let that game go on 'm.

Good luck w/your brackets, and good luck emw.
