Good luck!
@approxinfinity I joined - -I am under one of those crazy ESPN generated names lol
Kansas Arizona Zags Kentucky.
I am in, hoping to avoid a first round flameout!
IN
And my 3 brackets will be perfect since I have KU winning it all
@BeddieKU23 - who wouldn’t? ❤️KU BBALL,
I’m in. I better do some research before I pick chalk straight through!
Filled one out. Zags, AZ, KU (duh), and UCLA
Something to think about. Teams that are just getting better and better prior to the NCAA tourney are a good bet to get further than you would normally think. This KU team is one of those squads. I'm trying to decide who has improved more and rounded into a game changer between JWill and Dajuan. They are both better and consistently better over the last 10 or so games. It's nice to say we can rely on them now as opposed to earlier when they were much more spotty. Dave and, gasp, Mitch have supplied inside scoring, especially lately, and that is a positive improvement. Och, our FTAA, is on an uptick because of the others becoming a problem for defenses. This leaves us with Remy and Christian. Remy is ready to break out and I'm excited to see and feel that way and he has made us better for sure. Add Christian and we have a roster full of guys who can take over and lead a run at any time. JCL is one pure ass shooter who is another weapon that has shown up more now than before. AND Yesfu, Zach, and KJ are reliable and very improved the last several games. And we have the coach who as Rick Pitino said has zero weakness in his coaching.
One thing I think people should realize is Ku should be really well prepared for very tough defenses. I just don't think we will run across a lot of harder defense's then what we faced in Big 12 play - -Tech , Baylor -T-Een Texas to a degree - should be ready to play against tough denses coming at us in our journey
It was especially physical down the stretch as I can remember. The refs do a good job but I think they were struggling with consistency.
Well in the ESPN Bracket challenge not this group ut in one of my other entries -through the first eight -- I'm sitting at 98 % prediction have gotten 7-8 right only missing those wonderful Hawkeyes lol I'm at 80 % on my othres
Down go Shaka Smart and Marquette to UNC!
Hope nm st eliminates the dukebag dan hurley. I know he didnt attend duke but in this case they can have him.
The brotherhood cant have steph curry :)
Down goes Kensucky!!
doing good in one of my entries off espn I'm at 96
% correct but no way in hell win anything even with that
After the 1st round, one of my brackets is in pretty good shape at this point. I did lose a Final Four team in Kentucky, but I still have both title game picks alive, 3/4 Final Four picks, 7/8 Elite picks, and 14/16 Sweet 16 teams still alive. The other Sweet 16 team I lost was Iowa.
My West Region is still perfect, I got 6/8 East Regions games right, 6/8 in the South Region, and only 5/8 in the Midwest Region correct in Round 1.
I know I'm kind of rubbing it in, but it's like I can't help myself:
In one of my ESPN brackets I'm at a 95 % correct AND - - - i'M IN 78,000th place lol - -that's crazy - - you would think 95 % right is pretty decent - - NOPE lol
Jeez, my bracket was toast on Day 1!

Looks like their title page needs updating:
Rupp Rafters - Basketball Forum
The place to be for discussion of the nation's all-time winningest basketball program and eight-time national champions.
Hey, will we put a banner up if we win the next game? KSU would have put it up for getting within 100 of the top...

Good Job buddy - -it's all good. I know why I never bet lol
I have to brag that I picked this Final Four group... yesterday! April Fools!
Everyone in here knows I possess the "drgnslayr jinx." I'm being very careful what I say now!
I don’t see that a single Bucketeer picked NC as the finals winner. I am taking that as a good sign!
Looks like my brother HoosIsaacsin'23 won our bracket challenge. Nice going bro!
The best I could manage in that mess was at 85 % - laughable lol

@Gorilla72 You need to go to the 2023 thread!
Holy crap turds! Did i really just see that Purdue lost???? WOW!
Um how did this one get pinned? Lol
Doh! i mistook it for the 2023 as well.
After today's horseshit result, can we just scoot back in time to 2022?
