    NCAA March Madness 2011 is here

    Picks? Upsets?

    I got Ohio State winning it with potential Final Four contenders being Texas, Purdue, and Florida.

    BYU? Without Brandon Davies? Are you mad?

    I got Ohio State with Texas, ND, and Pittsburgh in the Final Four. ND over Pitt just like in the regular season.

    I think Texas is a strong team but to be honest the main reason i got em going so far is I really hate Duke.

    I think Texas is a bit of a sleeper team. No one expects them to go all that far but they got a top notch defense and they have a damn good record against top 25 teams.

    Well I just got rocked. Two close losses from OD and PSU and the apparently poorly seeded two in the southwest and I'm now down four points and two extra in the second round.

    you know this can't happen right, they're on the same side of the bracket.

    here's mine: http://www.primebutt.com/filetree/mi...tbracket11.pdf

    super boring this year but i've got some good stuff in there. morehead knocking off louisville only boosts my richmond-in-the-sweet-16 pick. had USC in the elite 8 but after VCU knocked them off i changed that.

    all of my S16 still intact, that's all that matters in the first round.

    I know. I meant the final four showdown. I guess I didn't make it explicit enough that I picked Ohio State to win?

    only lost sparty from my S16 yesterday, 10 of 16 overall

    if ucla beats florida i'm gonna be really mad because i'll have had the absolute right idea in that pod, just the wrong team

    the first round is really just about nailing your 5/12 and making sure you don't lose S16 and E8 teams; i feel bad for all the suckers that had louisville as a sleeper in the southwest

    I had St. Johns going a bit too far. I just thought that with a weak BYU they could make it. I have Texas in the Final Four though, most people don't have that and my other final four picks the same, and they're kickin some ass right now, so I think I can still win.

    in my first draft i had st. johns in the final four, then i read about dj kennedy tearing his ACL and put my stock into BYU even minus davies. i almost had the guts to take gonzaga over the johnnies but i thought a wounded st. johns team would still be good for one game.

    that whole region is really weak and if pitt can't make the final four this year then they're never gonna do it.

    speaking of, i almost put wisconsin into my final four in all my drafts after #1 (i don't know how many i went through) but i kept ending up with pitt. wisconsin looked REALLY good against a belmont team that had a really good statistical chance to knock them off.

    Well, that's something I neglected to learn. Woulda saved me a whole lotta points.

    Still, I got one perfect region and at 8 my losses arent too heavy. St. Johns is the only one that's killin' me, and rootin' for Gonzaga'll be the best way to cure that.
