This region is looking like an f'n cake walk for Duke though.

Baylor and Nova played like shit but still won against lesser opponents. Richmond and ND both go down to 10+ seeds. Then you have the #4 seed Purdue who is without their best player and got rolled by Minnesota in their last game.

Duke's toughest matchup may be the 8/9 winner.

In recent memory I cannot remember a more exciting opening day of the tournament.

I generally don't care if people say they have such and such bracket as being really good.

Unless you only run 1 bracket then it doesn't matter.

Definitely a homer pick, but you can't blame him.

I always loved the facebook app when it showed brackets % correct by school. It's funny how the schools that go far always have people with higher scoring brackets because they pick the homer pick.

I took all four No. 1s to the Final Four.

I just think three of four will make it and I'm not sure exactly which team won't so I went that route.

I got them all right so far, but I was sweatin' Murray St (Sweet 16 over UTEP) and Nova (Final Four). Those, especially Nova, wouldve been tough loses to swallow.

The ODU game wouldnt have mattered as I have them losing next game anyway.

LOL, yes. I had to make the homer vote, plus I get extra points for calling an upset in the first round so I figured why the hell not. Been a good start thus far but Baylor about made me crap myself earlier.

4-3 so far. not really worried about it because me and another guy were the only two to pick syracuse in my bracket and we have the same final four...just need duke and kansas state to get to the elite eight to give me the edge over him

BYU has a shot to get Kansas State.

St. Mary's could beat Villanova.

Could be some surprises in the second round Saturday.
