March Madness 2015

And we're off!

Notre Dame already wins the ugly uni competition, hands down.

I am in three different pools with three different brackets. I figure I am already out of one of them because I have Iowa State going to the Final Four in it. 3 seed down in the first round.

Down goes Iowa State. Let the the destruction of brackets begin

Baylor as well. Two 3 seeds gone already.

Yeah - only three games in and I'm

1 - finish spectation mode - basketball

moving to

2 - start participation mode - golf, skydiving, tennis, kayaking

basketball season is already over

the sound of brackets falling all over the country - sounds like glass breaking

Doesn't matter. It's all about my Badgers! :banana:

I like the Badgers this year.  Fun team to watch.  I've pretty much given up the right to mock the Big 10 though.  ...... for now  (but if I did, I'd note you have two good teams and the rest are cannon fodder.....but I won't do that.....I have class)

But he missed the shot!

I don't care. I just like the fact the defender almost ate hardwood .

At least Russel doesn't need to shove the defender down ala Michael Jordan.

I wouldn't mind if the Sixers end up with him.

Please no. I hate when an OSU player ends up on a crap team. I know he will never drop to them, but this guy is made for San Antonio. He's not overly athletic, but he's just a crazy smart player. He even said he tries to tailor his game after Ginobili. He needs to be on a team that doesn't need him to carry the team, but a guy who is highly efficient and likes to pass the ball. He is one of the best passers of the ball I have seen in a long time.

Off topic but the Sixers won't be a crap team for long and Russell is just what they need. They drafted bigs in recent drafts and they need an all-purpose guard so they will draft either Russell or Mudiay. Can't lose with either one.

Noel, Embiid, Dario Saric (currently playing in Europe), one of those guards and a few wise choices in free agency and the Sixers will be a contender in 2017. Since the East is so bad maybe even a playoff team in 2016.

A really good tournament so far. Some real surprises but some chalk taking care of business as well. Duke and Kentucky have not been challenged. Right now I would say that Michigan State could be the surprise Final Four team, but nothing a Tom Izzo team does should be a surprise.

I did two bracketts.  One for my family, It's the 'what I'd like to see happen' - I bid ISU to win it all.  The Big 12 to do well.  Northern Iowa to do well.  Iowa to lose immediately.  My Midwest region is perfect so far.  EVERYTHING else is trashed.  My Final 4 is half gone.

I did a 'real' brackett where I tried to guess better.  All things considered, I'm doing ok in that one.  It's pretty amazing to look at the bracketts of the leaders in the open group on that site - but I'm assuming there are 100's of thousands of entries and some have to just look pretty good
