The afternoon games yesterday were amazing. UCLA almost choked big time and the Zags appear to play better in the tourney as underdogs. Day 2 coming up and I can't wait!

Didn't get an "ophicial" bracket in....however......my unophicial bracket on day 1 had the high of picking Gonzaga over St. Johns & Richmond over Vandy :D , but the low of having Louisville getting knocked out when I had the Cards going to the final 4. :-?

After 5 games I'm in dead last. Right where I belong!
I realized that too late!! FFS... Did my picks twice Wed. night before Yahoo finally crashed. Had to resubmit Thursday morning from work and was in a hurry. :roll:

I even entered the tiebreaker score. Kansas wins 84-80.

I thought that maybe as commissioner, I could go in and edit your picks but I don't think I can.

Dead Last after day one... :( I'm going to hope for clearer sailing today though. At least all the games I lost, I only had the winner winning one game except Louisville into the Sweet 16. I just didn't see Morehead beating them! Great games yesterday though!

The ending to the Pitt Butler game was as bizarre as it gets. I have never seen 2 fouls called in the last 2 seconds of a game that were game changers. One more day of games this w/e and then my wife can have the TV back, until Thurs. BTW, who is this Pres. Obama dude and is he a parrothead???? :wink:

Some great games this weekend and several "interesting" finishes.......I've never seen the refs so quick to end games and get off the court! :o

I can't believe that many would have predicted that either Florida State or VCU would make the Elite Eight....... :roll:

I haven't looked at my bracket since the games started.... I'm afraid to look.

The final four is in Houston this year. When you watch the games and look at the floor, just think... less than two weeks before it was full of dirt and cow poop.

Well...after the first week of results I've decided against moving to Las Vegas and becoming a sports handicapper for NCAA mens basketball games.

My Bracket = Ouch!

so much for the belief that a couple early losses won't affect things too much. But nice to see that Butler is moving into the same class as Gonzaga. Maybe this year, they replay Duke and send the Devils home in tears.

How the hell am I ranked in 18th place when there are only 11 teams in the league? My picks s*** so bad there are non-existant entries ranked ahead of me!

Oh well, go Bucks!...
