South Carolina gonna get me my first loss

 

[nevadanatural]

I have so many misses I can’t count them. Nevada just blew a huge lead by not being able to score in the last 5 minutes.

Oakland about to bust some brackets

Anyone who had Kentucky beyond the 2nd round is smoking the special kind of ganja you can't pick up from the med dispensaries.

 

[jesterondirt]

On the bracket I used for this league, I already have two Sweet 16 teams out and 1 Elite 8 team out.

Calm down there. You out here like the UTSA of the bracket challenge

 

[TU_BLA]

I'm in 2nd right now but missing a Final Four team already so I'm sure there is a precipitous drop forthcoming

 

[Gmoney4WW]

The biggest shaker and mover, DLSNID!

Out of the basement and into the top half.

I think he stole Konkol's picks.

 

[dlsnid]

Got lucky I used my cat to make my picks

 

[TU 1978]

They just showed a guy named “Danning Manning” during the Kansas fiasco.

They just showed a guy named “Danning Manning” during the Kansas fiasco.

On “Fired basketball coach” list. He’s wearing the same gear he wore at TU. “Kansas” gear.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Loca rolloing after today!

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Loca rolloing after today!

Can the right hand, hand it to the left hand, on the prize money? Is that legal?

All's fair in horseshoes & hand grenades?

Absolutely

So here is the updated standings after day 3. The field of 32 and the second round ends today.

All the favorites won except #4 Kansas losing to #5 Gonzaga. Even though they were favored NC State is still an 11 seed as they beat the 14 seed Oakland but it could have gone either way in that one.

Today we have the following low seeds in action. Low seeds are any seed bigger than 8. Had to say that before you come at me.

#10 Colorado is playing #2 Marquette
#12 James Madison is playing #4 Duke
#12 Grand Canyon is playing #4 Alabama
#9 Northwestern is playing #1 UConn
#9 Texas A&M is playing #1 Houston
#13 Yale is playing #5 San Diego State

[dlsnid]

I suck fighting for last place I will never do random selection again

 

[rusty-c]

I look good today sitting in 3rd, but looking forward I have as much of chance of a snowball making it through hell as I do of staying there.

 

[TUcandoit]

Im actually doing well. #6 right now but I have the second highest possible points left to gain.

 

[jesterondirt]

You guys can just go ahead and start me a tab at McNellies. #Marquette4theWin

[Loca5174]

Here are the standings after the first weekend heading into the Sweet 16. We still have a fight at the top. In the top 5 two of them have Houston Winning it all, two have UConn winning it all and one of them have Gonzaga Winning it all. Hopefully this stays competitive till the championship game and not decided after the elite 8 like last year lol.

I’m #15 (still)! Thanks for doing the random pick bracket!

I actually have a bracket that would be tied for first here but couldn’t figure out how to add it to any of my groups. I don’t find the ESPN interface to be user friendly.
