I have re-activated our group from last year in anticipation of March Madness coming soon!

I was thinking about sitting this one out this year, but I decided to join anyway. This should be interesting as I haven't followed a single game of College Basketball (Other than maybe the Pac 12 tournament) this year.

 

[InklingStar]

My typical strategy is to research every team, compare wins and losses, average points, offense, defense, strength of schedule, etc. and come up with my picks. This year, I have basically ignored college basketball (except for the Huskies, who were robbed!) and I just guessed for all my picks. I will now see if guessing yields a better outcome than researching stats. I bet it does.

Aren't the most successful picks the ones made based on coolness of uniform? Sure seem that way most times.

If Colorado hangs on, I'll have a perfect bracket after one day.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Damn, my bracket is already blown up. I had high hopes for Mizzou.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

As did I. I had them going to the final four on 2 of my ESPN tournament challenge brackets. I actually did pick Detroit to upset Kansas on one of them because I've seen Detroit (and a surprisingly at times vulnerable Kansas) play. Let's see if it holds up. Detroit's hanging in there.

 

[InklingStar]

I started 23/23 but have since gone 0/5. Crazy.

 

[tomalak301]

I still have 3 of the final four still intact, and the two for the championship game but after today I don't care. Well done Norfolk St and Lehigh. Those are why I love this time of year and this tournament. The only bad thing was I missed Gus Johnson today.

 

[Finn]

My was blown up as well (two actually). In one of them, one of my Final Four teams was already eliminated.

 

[SmoothieX]

I didn't sign up here. But I got 12 of my S16 left, as well as all of my E8 and F4 intact.

 

[Caligula]

I also did not sign up here, but I'm not doing near as well as you are, SmoothieX. Half of my Sweet 16 is gone. Two of my Elite 8 have already been eliminated, both I lost in the round of 32, and one of which was in my Final Four.

My Women's bracket has taken similar hits: Only nine of my Sweet 16 teams have survived, and two of my Elite 8 are gone. However, I still have my Final Four intact.

 

[InklingStar]

I'm still winning, but Michigan State's loss last night is the writing on the wall. I need a miracle now.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

I think my chances in my bracket depend entirely on Ohio State finishing second

 

[Caligula]

Ohio has just taken North Carolina to OT! I would never have guessed that the loss of Kendall Marshall would have affected the Tar Heels THIS greatly. If Ohio wins this, I believe that would make them the lowest seeded team ever to beat a #1 seed.

It would have been fun.

If I read the scenario generator correctly, all I need to do is have Kentucky lose and I most likely win.

 

[SmoothieX]

Louisville in the Final 4.

Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. Your friends, up there in the office, are walking into a trap, as is your Rebel fleet's bracket.

Let's see if Ohio State can keep my mojo rising.

 

[Neroon]

Let's see if Ohio State can keep my mojo rising.

Looks like they did just that.

 

[SmoothieX]

I got the Final Four picked correctly for the first time in the 10+ years I've been filling out brackets. This is uncharted territory for me.

 

[Davros]

My brackets have been right on the money since I started filling them out in April
