There will be many more upsets than what y'all have picked (just my 2 cents). There is too much parody in college basketball this year for there not to be.

Here is my 2 cents. Stay away from one legged hookers. Yuck! I'm never drinking again.

No doubt. There is inevitably going to be an Elite 8 team on my bracket that loses in round 1. It happens every year.

This year, I based all my picks on Ken Pomeroy's Pythag %. I was planning on going through it and adjusting the picks, but the percentage gave me almost the exact bracket I was planning to pick anway (with only 2-3 exceptions). So, I decided to just stick with the formula.

Also, those of you who have Marquette winning today need to know that one of their starters will not be available to play today.

yeah I have since changed my pick to Mich St. after learning about their starter/best defender being out.

[Pumchavas28]

3 up & 3 down... I lost all of the 1st 3 games... :sad: I feel like this guy looks...

As long as I get the 3-14 matchup in the South Bracket correct I am happy...

[Vlyrock]

I've missed two games (with GW going down). I had them both losing in the 2nd round though so I'm in good shape.

[Kyle98]

Damn, all the higher seeds winning so far.

Its a good thing I don't pretend I know what the hell I'm talking about when it comes to brackets. :)

[Loftin]

My conservative bracket is paying off. I'm perfect so far.
