I'm out two Final Four teams, including both in the Championship, plus another four Elite Eight teams. Only Okie State and Duke (ugh...) are keeping me from total bracketological humiliation.

My bracket was destroyed yesterday, and it only got worse today.
I'm not complaining because this is why March Madness is so fucking great, and the reason it will always be better than NCAA football and their BS Championship. The BS is so predictable, where this isn't. |

I had UNC making it to the Elite 8, so basically by default I had them winning the championship. (Well, if Felton, McCants, AND May are all hot for 40 minutes, they could beat them...Well, if Felton, McCants, AND May are all hot for 40 minutes, they could beat them...)

Well, I'm sorry to hear of everyone's misfortune, but I'm not doing too bad in my bracket. By my calculations I MIGHT be winning the pool I'm in, but I won't know for sure until I get back to work tomorrow.
I still have 7 of 8 Elite 8 teams, and 3 of my Final Four still in it. Stanford is the only one that's hurt me so far. I'm still worried though cuz I have Oklahoma State beating Illinois (I'm a UofI fan) in the final. I think Weber is a better coach than Self was and am hoping the team has matured since last year. But the way things are going for the entire tourney I'm not confident. One bad day can blow everything to hell. |

My bracket got all kind of fucked up too. But it's been a great tourney. I'd like to see Duke take it all as they're my favorite team, but seeing Xavier going so far has been great. Lionel Chalmers is from my hometown and played his freshman year at my friends high school. He had a fantastic game.

It looks like I'm going to win the bracket this year. I'm in the lead right now, and most of the other people have either Kentucky or Stanford with the championship. I hope I win too. Last year I lost by 1 point, and I mean the tie-breaker by one. The winner had 1 closer then me .

In my office pool, I've got a few teams still left in it. Pitt, OK State, and Uconn are the only ones I've got picked to get to the final game (on two different bracket entries). On the third entry in the pool I still have Vanderbilt but only into the Final Four and there's no way I can gain enough points on that one to get in the money.

My bracket is still in great shape.
Georgia Tech - check still on course. Texas - check still on course. Connecticut - check still on course. Oklahoma State - check still on courrse. Texas over Georgia Tech wins me 10K at ESPN!! Art |

I'm ok, my only miscues were Kentucky, Texas Tech, and Maryland, so at this moment in the bracket, I'm 45-3, but that loss column will increase because of the FF status I deemed upon Kentucky, and EE status I bestowed upon UMD, overall, not a bad run so far.

Well.......shit
I think the major factor was Anthony Myles fouling out with 12+ minutes left. He was the inside man.

That "charge" changed the course of the game. As a UCinti fan, I'm used to seeing that go against the 'Cats, but having it happen to X was a shock. They got hosed.
Anyways, it's been a great March. My bracket's shot, but the games have been excellent!!

in my opinion one play can never be blamed for the loss... its a team sport, and if you had played better on the whole for the entire game you wouldnt need to blame it on one call
thats why i never point a loss at one specific play or event

But Ace the play was a lot bigger than it, it lead to a 5 point swing and put Chalmers into fall trouble at 4 so he could not play aggressive. If it was called a block then he shots the foul shots and the mentinoum does not fully swing to the Duke side. I am not saying it was the reason they lost, I am saying the play was the turning point in the game.
