Yeah…Bama really did look like 1991 Loyola Marymount 


SEC is set up for the entire Final Four bracket

Really like their odds of getting 2 (Auburn and Florida). Not so sure that Bama or UK/TENN can knock off Duke and HOU.

I’m in the 99.4% on ESPN…leading my schools (26 total brackets)


I have Florida beating Duke


Had 13/16 Sweet 16


Still have 11 teams left, though TT doesn’t look to be surviving

99.4% seems a bit better than 42%. Although that is about 15% better than I was heading into last night. Still, I can win my 16-bracket friends' group if Florida wins it all, since I was the only person who picked them (Duke was the trendy choice). Even if I'm in about 13th place now.

I can win a 100+ entry bracket and a 40+ entry if Houston Beats MSU in the final.

I’m sitting nice in my school’s 24 entry bracket and also my wife’s office….leading both of those nicely


5th out of 801 in newspaper challenge


99.46% on ESPN challenge


In my school one if Duke beats Florida in the finals I still win because of my huge lead


….as Bama banks a 3 in at the buzzer to beat them

No…of course he hit it, he’s the stud guard you weigh on to hit those shots, why in the fuck was he permitted to dribble out and get a shot?

Huh. Duke covers easily. I’ll lose a few bets on that.
