We have gotten a few in for this year’s challenge. The field is out. Get your bracket in and completed. Remember to change your bracket name to your board name so I know who you are. Thanks

I think a lot of brackets will come down to the Baylor/OkState game. IMO, this game pits the most talented team vs the most talented player. Sometimes that most talented player can carry a team a long ways.

The most talented player can win you a couple of games in this tournament but the team has to win the championship as when you get to the final four your playing some really good teams with really talented players

We have 11 in so far. I like it. I ask that your bracket name be your board name. This makes it easier to identify you. Lol. I’m looking forward to the games.

Counterpoint. UCONN - Kemba Walker absolutely carried a mediocre team to a national championship. Cunningham is that type of player.

I’m trying to get my wife to join. She won’t have a board name...she thinks I’m silly for spending so much time on here

At the end of the first weekend (rounds 1&2) Apop is in the lead and there is 4 way tie for second. I am lucky enough that my final 4 is still intact.

Apop would be one of the four bracket that didn't have a recognizable board name. Anybody hace a clue who is Apop?

So on the subject of brackets...I've still got 3 of 4 Final Four teams left. I lost OkState when they were upset by the Beavers. I believed Cunningham was one of those generational players who could literally carry a team on his back to get close to a championship.

I think I’m tied for 13th but I have a higher ceiling than some above me. However, at this point I would rather see lower seeds advance to the FF than have my bracket improve.

After the sweet sixteen we have a new leader @bigdad48 as Apop moves down to second. Today and tomorrow could change the standings significantly. I am at number 10 but I believe I am the only one with my final four still in play.

Loca2874, while you and I are in 10th and 8th respectively we have the highest max potential, so much depends on the next few games, we could rise to the heights or go crashing into the canyon.

What a finish of the Michigan and UCLA game. UCLA winning kept me from having a complete final 4. So we have our matchups for Saturday.

top 3 in the challenge are

Michigan lost that game by missing a half dozen layups in the last three minutes. They couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.
