I'm glad I didn't go with Wake winning it all....go OSU!!!

EDIT: After looking at the brackets, I don't think I'm gonna be taking this out....I went for a few too many upsets....now my bracket is looking pretty sorry....I'm just hoping I can gain some respectability :oops:

with wake forest getting knocked off my bracket looks real bad. still now that wake is gone . the huskies only real threat is GT or Louiville and if they get pass that i think they can take on West Virginia or Texas Tech. This year's NCAA tourney is very interesting alot of top seeds going out early. 8-)

I forgot I put Alabama in the final, I knew there was one pick I fucked up accidentely but I was using HTML and I couldn't be stuffed loading it up again to fix it :lol:

Just noticed, one guy, two accounts, two different winners picked (N)

yeah i did that on accident my bad. i created a 2nd entry on accident. for some reason i couldnt get back into my 1st entry and i was thinking i didnt save my bracket so i made a 2nd one with UW winning the whole thing. then i realize i had my 1st entry there. not like the 2nd entry matters im at the bottom. 8-)

Wow, I had Wake in the final 4, Syracuse/Kansas in the elite 8, Oklahoma in the sweet 16, I had a lot less first round upsets then there were, things aren't looking too great on my bracket :\

I had OSU v Duke in championship game with OSU winning it all....still a possibility with both still in there....my other 2 Final Four teams (Wake & UConn) are gone....my bracket has been busted pretty badly....

looking at everyone's brackets, I think Matthew has best chance of taking the win this year....

Too bad Stanford exited in the 1st Round. Always loved that school, academic and sporting excellence combined. Go Cardinal, next year all the way!!!

He's Australian, played for the Australian Olympic team not to mention countless junior Australian team. It's a common thing for European immigrants to come here and declare themselves Aussie, that being said I don't know if he was born here or in Croatia.

it's been an interesting tourney....I'm not surprised Washington didn't make it to Elite Eight....they were good, just not great....good to see the ACC go down....looks like negative ball gets you far, how many times have Wisconsin made it at least to the Sweet 16 in the last 5 years?!? just a guess, but it's been at least 3 times....I now think the champion will come from the Illinois-Arizona matchup....I'm liking the Wildcats' chances....should be interesting....

I also saw some highlights of Bogut and the Utes against Kentucky on Sports Tonight....Bogut made a real nice handoff pass to a slasher....I never realised he was THAT good of a passer....he looks like he's got good fundamentals, great footwork....but I must say, he's not a great athlete which leads me to think guys like Chris Paul and Marvin Williams will be picked ahead of him....either way he's a top 3 pick....
