In. Entry 19. My brackets win every 16 years like clockwork. Lucky for you guys I won last year.
I don't want to talk about the evening session. Let's just agree the first 8 games played should determine the winner
Maybe should've put more thought into it. 19th. When North Carolina wins that will make up for such a shitty first few rounds
Just checked the standings & I will be periodically bumping this thread until, you know, it goes south for me. But until then, SUCK IT LOSERS!!!!
I put a good 7-8 minutes of thought into mine. Let this be a lesson to you. Good things come to those who put the work in. There are no shortcuts.
I put more time into naming my bracket than I did making my picks and it shows.
It's a tremendous name. If I had seen it beforehand, I would have been too intimidated to hit that submit picks button.
Wow, Kansas has just collapsed in the 2nd half. They were up 1 at halftime and have scored 9 points in 12+ minutes of the 2nd half, now down 21.
How big is that dude for NC State. He reminds me some of Nigel "Big Jelly" Dixon, who was FSUs center 20ish years ago.
dude, im so bad at picking teams. i can curse anyone with the click of a button.
That is NC State ball - still in the passers hand after the NCSU guy touched it
Well well well, another day in the books, & old wausauhawk is still in 1st. Cray-ton gave me a scare last night but came ended up coming through. I forgot, what do I get for winning this thing?
Can’t find the other official thread- but the seats are freaking empty for this NC State game geez
Well, I'm still in 2nd place but with Houston losing last night I'm Dead Man Walking.
You win the right to add to your signature line, "I"m the smartest idiot in the room"
Just looked, I'm still hanging onto first but all I have left is UConn. Doubt I have enough left to claim this great honor.

If I ever meet you I'm going to throw a basketball at your head
I wanted to reach out to you regarding the recent threat of violence directed towards me. Threats of violence are unacceptable and have no place in civil discourse. I hope we can find a way to resolve our differences peacefully and respectfully.
stop doing what you're doing and I wont throw a basketball at your head
