<p>^^ No. You will be reported to the Mods! (only kidding). I am not in this pool and I haven’t been kicked off the thread yet. :)</p>
<p>Clawing my way back. But my long-term prospects rely on . . . Michigan State and Missouri. Not exactly like being on the shoulders of UNC, UConn or Louisville, but at least it was a good Saturday and Sunday.</p>
<p>I’m not having fun anymore.</p>
<p>MOWC - I thought you were in the pool. I’ll admit I haven’t paid much attention to who’s winning, etc. I just like reading the comments on the different teams.</p>
<p>melsmom - remember… it’s called March Madness for a reason!</p>
<p>Everybody ready for some Basketball?? I think I can still win this thing ;)</p>

<p>Congratulations to those who picked Missouri over Memphis . . . a group that unfortunately did not include me.</p>
<p>Woohooo 'Nova!!</p>
<p>In my OTHER bracket (the one that doesn’t belong to any groups) I actually did pick Nova over Duke (umm, did Duke show up last night? Game was too late for me, but by the score, it looks like they got pounded!). And I have 64 points with some of the other bracket busting choices. Oh, well. Look at how some of the others who started near the bottom of the standings have jumped to the top! Way to go Iderochi!</p>
<p>I was pleased to see 'Nova win but didn’t pick them :eek:
Next year I am going with the Big East teams - the ACC has let me down.
I went 2 for 4 and barely that as I picked Pitt.</p>
<p>I was really worried going into last night having picked both Nova and Mizzou. WooHoo, they both came through - 4/4!</p>
<p>I was right about Duke, but I’m still way down in my pool.</p>
<p>I saw three, count 'em, THREE “passes to nowhere” by Duke that ended up in the bleachers in the second half last night. The wheels just fell off. </p>
<p>Even though I showed no sentiment and picked 'Nova to win, it would have been nice to have not seen Duke humiliated like they were. On the up side, I do have a nice run going – but I need Louisville to lose, the sooner the better, and I don’t think UA has it in them.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I actually had Duke getting beat by Minnesota (yikes!) so I was definitely glad to see Villanova win last night. I have them going to the Final Four! I also picked Mizzou to beat Memphis 
I think the only one left that I didn’t choose to be here is Arizona and hopefully they get beat soon…</p>
<p>Could someone put up the standings? I can’t access it from work :P</p>
<p>Oh well, fun while it lasted, but I think I’m done for. Unfortunately I picked Memphis to win last night – AND to beat UConn in the Elite 8. So I’ve lost the West region entirely.</p>

<p>Nice job, iderochi. I was surprised Duke didn’t show up for the game. I don’t see UA getting by Louisville. But I didn’t see Memphis losing, either. (I hope no one remembers how I bragged about being good at this…)</p>
<p>Oooh, not as bad as I thought, thanks kitty56!</p>
<p>MOWC, well put about Duke. I had to turn off the game before the end.</p>
<p>KABOOM…the sound of my bracket imploding! Oh well…</p>
