Board 8 > Links to some B8 March Madness contests

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sorry for the extremely late topic that maybe can get a couple of people at most involved (I think this happened last year as well), but here are links to our "normal" bracket, and our "special" bracket. The first link is to a Yahoo group that is the usual bracket that you fill out how you think the games will turn out. The second link to an ESPN group that is the silly coinflip bracket where you are supposed to flip a coin (real or virtual) to determine who you will take in a matchup.

These are invite links, so I hope that they don't have need for a password, but if so, I hope that they are the usual gfnw.

Again:
First link = Yahoo, fill out bracket normally
Second link = ESPN, flip a coin to determine who you will select in each matchup

Might as well bump this once as I won't have another opportunity before games tip off

Oh no Louisville

No perfect bracket this year

1-0 o ya

but it may not last for long. come on high point. (edit: ouch. 7-0 purdue run after high point cut it to 3)

I refused to pick McNeese after they were such a sexy pick last year and got crushed

Whoops

Whoops

I had McNeese/High Point for a 12/13 matchup - McNeese to the S16.

so that was a good half >_>

Hey, as long as you get the McNeese to the Sweet Sixteen pick right, it all works out

didnt realize it started whoops

I have McNeese > Purdue. Manifesting.

I made an extra joke bracket where I had every SEC team winning every game and only losing to other SEC teams

Georgia isn't helping my cause so far

I see all these people with reasonable champion picks with their coinflips, but I got Yale

Here comes Clemson...?

Close but not quite

Not going to bother to see how far back you can look up old brackets, but I think this is the third time I've had Xavier in my coinflip final four.

If only I could be so lucky with my alma mater.

Well, I guess that I did get Xavier into the Elite 8 in my coinflip, so that's lucky too.

ya go my Vols

But good job by Wofford repping the SoCon well

I started looking at the Yahoo group, and I wasn't expecting to be in the majority of choosing a Florida champion. I thought for sure I was going to see more Dukes or Houstons

I wasn't signing up for Yahoo to do a bracket but in the ESPN one I do every year, I also picked Florida.

Saint bonaventure gona pull the uupset booyz

When I saw this late last night I was too lazy to make a new bracket on yahoo, but I've got St Johns as my champion.

I want nothing more than for you to be correct.

Having seen the last few minutes, those last 5 possessions of the Tritons were all terrible to the point that that loss was deserved.

Every possession was the same: Some shmuck trying to make a hero play and completely ignoring that he had teammates, including the last possession where one guy just sat on the ball for 18 seconds, then threw up a contested 3 without ever so much as looking at anyone else.

There's no Triton in basketball

13-3 on Day 1. High Point, UC San Diego, and Utah State (ugh almost switched to UCLA here)

Sweet 16 intact though so whatever.

14-2, only lost Clemson from the Sweet 16

Rip.

Bob Morris hanging around

I guess I'm just going to get every 8/9 and 7/10 game wrong

hoping you have vandy to keep my perfect day alive >.>

I do not!

Coinflip champion out in the first round. RIP.

My wife is currently in the 98th percentile

She also has all the 1 seeds out by the Sweet Sixteen so she's carving herself out a path

Also at least UNC will lose to another good team

Validating their selection by proving that they're good against anyone who isn't a tournament team

Unfortunately there are only tournament teams left

will be something if unc costs me my perfect day instead lol (which they will if st. mary's can pull this out)

Uh oh I may have jinxed it

Oh thank goodness St. Mary's came back. For some reason, I'm always high on St. Mary's in the tournament (I think I have them in the Elite 8 this season), but they always let me down.

Whew, that was close

15-1 Day 2. thanks unc

I think that's my best individual day (for the first round) and best first round (28-4) in like 10-15 years of picking. Sweet 16 still intact too, but I feel I got a little adventurous in Round 2 specifically so this could go down in flames quickly lol.

25-7 for round 1 for me

Still only lost one Sweet Sixteen team in Clemson so I'm in good shape in that regard at least

Memphis was my only S16 loss, which is the best I've picked in a while. Shame I didn't catch many games

welp not off to a good start with McNeese getting blown out!

My wife had Kansas over St. John's

So close

Bracket=Cooked

2-3 so far so not great but at least I had St. John's out next round to Texas Tech so I'm "okay" on that more than some. No Elite Eight down yet.

Yeah, I had St. John's to the Elite Eight and I had Drake over Texas Tech so that was a double "whoops" for me

Got BYU over Wisconsin so hopefully that holds

Man why is Tennessee playing at 10 PM in Lexington

that byu/wisconsin game got way too close for comfort there

Vols looking good at halftime!

Gonzaga trying to make Houston sweat it out

Anticlimactic ending there for Gonzaga but I guess you gotta credit Houston for trapping him into not being able to get a shot off

ya go my Vols

Trying to decide if I'd rather them play Illinois or Kentucky next

Knocking out Kentucky would be satisfying but losing to them would be the worst

Probably should hope for Illinois just to avoid the worst case scenario

i hope it's illinois because i have illinois knocking off kentucky. >_>

but vols in the final four is probably my riskiest pick so this is just a very dodgy region for me in general
