I’m in. Best 3 weeks of the year!

That Farleigh Dickerson vs Prairie View game was much higher quality than I was expecting for a 16 vs 16 game.

@approxinfinity PV hit 15 3s when they average 6.3 per game, I thought they gave it away.

I can see why some are saying Belmont might surprise a few people

With their starting Center back they are better then the play-in game. Would have likely beat Murray St with him

ya, I hear you for sure. - They look like a nice team for sure - -like you say not a play in game

For years I griped in my own mind about people doing multiple brackets. This year I'm joining the multiple brackets crowd!

I did an RPI bracket. We are 2nd in RPI, mainly because of our strong schedule I suppose, and in that bracket, we come out facing RPI#1 Duke, but keeping to that method of filling it out Duke beats us.

@wissox Like you, I have a hard time NOT picking KU to go all the way. Most years, though, it's not that unrealistic. So I usually fill out one bracket, with KU as National Champs. But this year I made a second, with a bigger dose of reality.

I'm rooting for my second bracket to tank. KU all the way!

PJ Washington of Kentucky sprained his foot. Been in a walking boot since Sunday. He is still likely to play in their opening round according to Cal.

If he's hobbled or unable to play down goes Kentucky!

I filled out two brackets... one with my hopes and one with my nightmares. The nightmare one has KState in the final 4, then Kentucky losing to Duke in the championship 79-45.

@DanR If K-State wins the first game, that's my nightmare.

@DanR Damn buddy that's a nightmare no doubt

I tuned in after Darnell Edge had done to majority of his damage (33 pts). Then Jahlil Jenkins suddenly was on fire, had a span where he made about 5 of 6 of his teams shots in a row, and dished out 2 assists. Those 2 guards for Farleigh Dickenson were good! PV couldn't match their intensity 2nd half, and came back to life down the stretch, but too little too late.

I’m in. Happy March Madness Eve!

I'm making sure I didn't pick St. Johns or ASU to win anything. These teams both stink.

ha ASU looked good until the bottom fell out. How many bricks can miss rim in a game?

I still can't get over the stink of the refs when we visited ASU this year. +10 foul difference in that one.

Good luck in the tourney ya'll but I've just got to say as in any other year this grizzled old veteran of the college game will once again dominate. You'll be looking at my bracket in awe. You'll wonder if I'm psychic or something even. I will destroy your brackets, you'll probably not even look at yours after the first weekend because you will have lost hope of defeating me. I am the dominator!

@wissox Yeah.

I have KU going all the way too.

Sorry for my uninspired brackets this year. I almost didn’t fill any out. This year has been tough to get up for. Here’s hoping it’s what Bill needed to inspire him, because it’s having the opposite effect on me in particular and the fanbase in general. We all need re-vitalized soon. Good news on the horizon, please.

Kentucky's PJ Washington won't play in their first round matchup. If he doesn't play in Round 2 they could definitely go down. Wofford is legit and Seton Hall beat them in the non-conference

Rumor is he tore a ligament and will not play at all in the entire tournament. Perhaps time to adjust your brackets.

Thx I did not see that rumor yet. I believe I adjusted most. Some I had Wofford winning regardless

@BShark I knew I should have picked UNC anyway...

@BeddieKU23 It's all but official now reading the rumor mill.

I think Roy gets yet another title.

@HighEliteMajor we are in his way!💪🏻

I'm glad we're playing Roy. I want to kick his butt, but at the same time, if this is the year that Roy gets past Bill, I'd be ok with that too.

Not sure we get past the ole Pearl.

@Crimsonorblue22 Is that you in first place in our contest? Kudos!

Do you folks realize we are on the verge of the S 16 being chalk....except for the #4 seeds occupied by KU and KSU?

Congrats to espndnewell, who had the top bracket with UVA winning and the top bracket with TT winning. Nice!

I do just want to point out how damn good the Bucketeers did this year on the bracket. 4 brackets in the top 1% out of only 66 submitted. Hope one of you wins the Maui Trip!

Dang! I was in the top 10 in this group! I quit looking after the 2nd round because I thought I was hosed🤣

Congratulations to the few people smart enough to beat my top 22 finish. Next year I'm owning this thing.
