cartmanyo ditto... i also had OD over Butler... SO CLOSE. i lost out on 3 picks by a combined 5 points. fucking a.

Serious question: Why would you ever bet against Butler in the first round?

why not? butler needed an incredibly lucky last second putback to beat OD.

on another note, i'm going to be so pissed if vandy loses to richmond... currently not looking great.

 

Princeton V Kentucky.... tell me people are watching this.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 
happypantsmcgeeYou called morehead over louisville?!

I had it originally but then one of my friends convinced me to change it early this morning... a 13 seed has advanced out of the first round 4 years straight.... not including this year.

Farieeeeeed. I also changed it last minute. Never second-guess yourself. Yet, I always second-guess myself.

 

i'm 0-4 and all my games have been lost in the final seconds! Clemson screwed me by basically handing them the ball 3 times in a row.

You give me a gift? *BAM* Thank you note! You invite me somewhere? *POW* RSVP! You do me a favor? *WHAM* Favor returned! Do not test my politeness.
 

I'm still ok b/c all the team screwed me in the first round I never had making to the second so hopefully my 2nd round will be ok.

San Diego State is playing like a women's YMCA rec league team apparently. I can't watch it but the stats don't look good.

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses - Henry Ford
 

I also got Richmond beating Vandy and beating Morehead next round......

cartmanEddie, Butler has made ONE deep run, and that was last year. The only other time they outperformed expectations was in 2003 when they went to sweet 16 as a #12 seed.

Old Dom is in generally a shittier program than Butler, but it's not like they weren't capable of pulling off an upset... and they nearly did.

How'd that logic work out for you?

Dude, OD lost by a last minute basket. Pure luck was the determining factor. OD wasn't a bad bet. Didn't work out so well, but w/e, I'd take that bet again.

8 vs. 9 games are 50/50 statistically, so it wouldn't have really been an upset.

Edmundo BravermanYou guys will hate me for this, but I didn't even fill one out this year. I'm so far out of the loop on college basketball (something I normally follow fairly closely) this year that I couldn't even tell you who the top seeds are.

Without even looking: Kansas to win it all.

Neither do I. All I did was choose the higher seed, randomly picking an upset or two. Then say Duke wins it all.

 

How many people called Richmond winning?!? I def did!
