2010 NCAA BBall BRACKET EB.com

I hope we get a chance to play you guys. After losing one of our forwards to an ACL, we just haven't been able to put together a full game. Have to get past Clemson first.
As for KU - I hate to do it, but, I have them winning it all, too. Damn it. They are just that good.

I, too, hope we (Clemson) get to play WV. The Clemson/Mizzou game should be interesting. Best I can tell, they are two teams that have a very similar style of play. The good news for ya'll is that while Purnell has done wonders for our program, we have not been a very good tournament team under him.

Yeah, our coach has taken some real tough nosed kids with mid level talent and had some success. He's got one hell of an incoming class for next year. If the freshmen can contribute next year, look out. Then for 2011 and 2012, look out.

For now though, I'd be happy if we could make it past you guys. I think it should be a really fun game to watch, both teams up tempo, ala Mizzou and Memphis last year. I think we scored 102 against them last year.

Fun stuff.

Picks are in. Let's see how bad I can do this year!!

both CBS and yahoo brackets submitted...

Dammit, I have matched 3 of Obama's final 4 (Kansas, Kansas St, Villanova)...

Good thing I don't have any money on this, oh wait.

If it's acceptable, I've created a second bracket composed entirely of coin flips.

My magic quarter feels that not only will there be two first round upsets of a 16 over a 1, that both will advance to at least the Sweet Sixteen, with Vermont making a magical run all the way to the Final Four. Sadly, Vermont will probably lose on a buzzer beater to Oklahoma State.

My "coin flip" final four are 7 Oklahoma State, 16 Vermont, 1 Kentucky, and 8 California, with 7 Oklahoma State taking 1 Kentucky for the Championship.

I plan to mercilessly ridicule anyone who's bracket fairs worse than these picks, and encourage everyone else to do the same.

 

[Supe]

I totally forgot about this, but will fill out and post a bracket anyways.

 

[Dexman PE]

Filled out a second one each on ESPN and CBS with a "modified coinflip" method: All 1 & 2 seeds make it through the first 2 games automatically. Every other game is decided with a coin-flip (heads = higher seed)

CBS Final 4: Kansas, Kentucky, Butler, & Utah St with Kansas beating Utah State for the title.

ESPN Final 4: Maryland, Temple, Oakland, & Duke with Oakland beating Temple for the title.

I did this same thing last year and at the Elite 8 round I was in the 95th percentile. Unfortunately I didn't score a single additional point and ultimately dropped to the 60th percentile.

Both brackets are titled "Dexman Coinflip" if anyone wants to look them up.

I'm in, at least for the yahoo one. I couldn't find the login info for the CBS sports bracket.

I'm in!

I went to a sports bar with a coworker friend for lunch today. Almost gagged on my wings when Villanova barely won. It's a good thing I don't have money on this, or I wouldn't have kneecaps anymore. I don't get it, I'm usually great the first two days, go into the weekend feeling great, then get sequentially screwed in the second round.

And to make matters worse, my wife is undefeated in our office (+spouses, kids, friends) pool. And she hates basketball vehemently. She beat me in weekly NFL picks, I can't beat her at Madden, and she'll probably destroy me at this NCAA thing. Maybe those Ivy Leaguers really are smarter than the rest of us. I'm screwed.

Am I the only female participating in the eb.com basketball pick'em?

 

[Supe]

How about that Big East!?

 

[wilheldp_PE]

1-3 with the possibility of going 5-3. Looks bad now, but could be completely different after today's games.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

What's worse: The fact that I had G'Town going to the Elite 8, or that my wife picked Ohio to beat them.

 

[jmbeck]

Wow...my bracket is shredded.

This is probably the worst group of tournament teams in recent history. I really could see another 4 #1's in the final four again.

Isn't this twice in a row that Vandy has bowed out in the first round as a 4 seed?

 

[NCcarguy]

klk....you MAY be. lol

I think all the teams I lost on YESTERDAY I also had them picked to win Saturday, so that's a double loss! piss!

I do admit, I was REAL impressed with how Ohio handed it to Georgetown, and I can't believe Wake Forest beat Texas. Gonna be a fun tourny!

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

I'm dead last here, but #2 in a pool for another board I post on.

 

[DVINNY]

You're a #2 ?

Like Fudgey?

 

[TouchDown]

Jmbeck's coin flips is doing OK!

Georgetown losing hurt. And the Marquette loss hurt. It has been crazy so far! This is fun!
