<p>I’m no. 1! I’m no. 1! We’ll see how long that lasts. And my nephew just called me to brag that he’s only missed one.</p>
<p>keymom - because D attended Syracuse, and there was a healthy rivalry between the two. Also, because we attended a basketball game in Milwaukee against Syracuse, and I’d have to say the fans were a bit more over the top when it came to welcoming opposing team visitors, than when we went to Notre Dame for a game. It wasn’t a good feeling up there.</p>
<p>Now, I’m not saying the same thing doesn’t happen to opposing teams when/if they go to Syracuse to play, but I’ve not been to a home game at the Carrier Dome. Am just basing my opinion on personal, anecdotal experience.</p>
<p>It’s simply amazing how bad I am at this.</p>
<p>You get bonus points for doing this each year. :)</p>
<p>Not in the CC pool, but I’ve only missed two calls so far. I went for Butler and BYU. Woohoo!</p>
<p>Yes! Cleveland State came through for me. Sweating Florida State right now and Siena.</p>
<p>WooHoo!! Siena comes through in double OT!! Way to go Saints!</p>
<p>That Siena Ohio State game was amazing! Great excitement here in the hometown!</p>
<p>Syracuse! Terriwit, I am sorry you have to cheer for them! Especially with that thug Devendorf. The Bradley Center is a great atmosphere for college ball. We don’t welcome any opposing fans when we are in the arena but meet us across the street at a local pub and we are fun to be around.
Can’t say I am cheering for Cuse to go far either.
Arrgghhh darn FSU why couldn’t they beat UW-Moscow</p>
<p>1st round damage: 81% for me! I’m 84% in my other pool. I was careful to keep the same cards in both of my other pools (the ones that we actually chip in!) I forgot to update this one. Too bad, I always do well in the beginning, but in the end I hardly ever win ;)</p>

<p>Well, I scored 5 points in my pool with Cleveland State, but my other teams haven’t exactly come through.</p>
<p>Wow, good pick, MOWC! I don’t think Wake knew what hit them. But, alas, another loss for my bracket.</p>
<p>I see my Siena pick paid off. I had a hunch about that and fell asleep at the end of the game - argh! Quite relieved to find myself back in second place though.</p>
<p>I simply cannot believe that both BC and Wake lost - ugh. Next year I am not going with so many ACC teams.</p>
<p>OK, I gave up the bottom position temporarily. However, in possible points, I appear to have this pool (bottom) to myself :(</p>
<p>Happy to see that I’m (temporarily) in first place in the pool. But I’m in 10th place in my “money pool” at work…why didn’t I submit the same bracket to both yahoo groups??? I counted on Whiskey (UWisc) coming through as my secret weapon (well, and also Illinois). Why did I put so much stock in the Big Ten???</p>
<p>Good job, MidwestMom! My only hope to get out of the basement is for Pitt to win it all. That would at least raise me to mediocrity!!!</p>
<p>I predicted Pitt to win it all, but now I’m not so sure. Arizona is the only team left in the Sweet 16 that scores me a lot of points if they win again. They are a 4 point team as opposed to most of the others being just 1 point (Purdue, Gonzaga and Xavier are 2 point teams).</p>
<p>The seeds were spot on only 2 of the sweet 16 were not ranked in the top 4 of their region.
Arizona was a 12 and Xavier a 5 seed. Really only 1 real surprise- Arizona</p>
<p>My bracket stinks.</p>
<p>tom1944 - I noticed that, too. Purdue is a 5 seed, and other than Arizona, the sweet 16 are all 1-4 seeds.</p>
<p>Can I still post here even if I didn’t join the pool?</p>
