Well, he did play the odds and picked almost all the higher seeds to advance in every single matchup. I think he sent all the #1's to the Final Four, and his sweet sixteen was all 1-4's.

The X and wife's bracket just got jacked.

EDIT: http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default ... s_2011.pdf
Guess he had Arizona and Kansas St. advancing. (Over Texas? Really?) But he otherwise just picked the top seeds.

Ahh well, shit happens. Good to see Butler win. I thought it would actually be Old Dominion that gave Pittsburgh fits in that 2nd game. I always thought if they could get past that tough 8/9 matchup then they'd cruise to Final Four.

He wasnt in shooting motion when the foul was actually called. Both teams were the in the double bonus. So any fouls resulted in 2 shots.

Hopefully Ohio State can pull of the victory in this tough battle against George Mason. I'm also hoping that FSU and the Florida Gators advance far. I'm looking forward to my favorite game of the day, the game between Arizona vs Texas.
Cleveland wins

I've been good this year, only have on bracket. I don't count the one my wife & I made as my bracket, that was just a bit of fun & one to fill into NLSC comp. Should've followed shadow's lead & just put in my own one, would be doing better right now :P

I now have 5 second chance brackets in the yahoo tourney. In one I copied Obamas bracket (except for the ones he lost.)

Jesus is sad at your indecisiveness for making many brackets.

Jesus weeps because of your desire for material need. Though he could also use that 5K too.

Happy with Zona beating Duke, just as I had picked in my one bracket. I'm currently in the 98th percentile, which is probably the highest I have ever been at this stage, with 36 correct out of 52. I got Zona & Florida through to Elite Eight, just need Ohio State, UNC & Kansas to do the same.

That being said, my bracket will likely be busted tomorrow if & when Kentucky beats Ohio State, but I'll enjoy it whilst it lasts :P
