March Madness 2011!!

<p>Northwestern just took Ohio State to overtime, then lost by six. Would have loved to have seen NW pull that one off.</p>

22

<p>1moremom - that was a close game, too! I think almost everyone (excluding Ohio fans) would have loved to have seen that upset.</p>

23

<p>Did you see the UNC/Miami game?? Good gosh, UNC was behind until the last 30 secs when they won 61-59. Yikes!! it’s gonna be a crazy March.</p>

24

<p>As I say to DH, that is why we love college hoops!</p>

25

<p>Just saying… after two years ago and 6 OTs in the Syracuse/UConn game, I’d not be too disappointed if this game only went one OT and Syracuse lost. I don’t think I could handle another game like that again.</p>

<p>That being said, two years ago, H and I were in the Mexican Riviera during this game and we could not find a place that was showing this game, so we sat side-by-side on the bed, each with our smart phones in hands, refreshing the scores through each OT. When I got home and my cell phone bill came the next month, I discovered AT&T had not given me the correct information regarding roaming charges… my cell phone bill was upwards of $900. Thankfully they straightened it out and made the international roaming package retroactive.</p>

<p>But yea, one OT would be OK for me tonight, even if they lose.</p>

<p>I set up 2 brakets. One for me and one for the dog, Batman. Thanks for the idea, tx5athome. :)</p>

27

<p>Bumping. Today’s the day!</p>

28

<p>Yeah! D1’s Aztecs looked great yesterday against BYU. We are hoping they get a good seed.</p>

29

<p>Duke mom here. I do not pick them to take it all this year, but the ACC tourney has been fun! Go Duuuuuuke!</p>

30

<p>very interesting so far…</p>

31

<p>Yeah. This is going to be difficult.</p>

32

<p>Wow! Last time Syracuse lost to UConn in the Big East Tournament and got a 3-seed in the east region was 2003 when they became national champs. Hmmm… could history repeat itself?</p>

<p>Just asking…</p>

33

<p>No love for the Big 12 – sorry, Colorado.</p>

34

<p>No love? 5 of 12 teams made it into the tournament! And let’s be honest here… it’s a good conference, but a school like Missouri who can’t win on the road doesn’t deserve to be in. Missouri only won 2 road games this season. They beat Oregon who was 16-17 and they beat Iowa State who was 16-16.</p>

35

<p>“stalked” mafool here. I don’t quite “get it”,</p>

<p>…“Fantasy Bracket is open. Of course, there’s not an actual bracket yet…”</p>

<p>wt*?..what’s a “bracket”?</p>

<p>but wanted to bookmark, and say “go Duke!”</p>

<p>Holla!!</p>

36

<p>

</p>

<p>Maybe… however, in 2003 they did have Carmelo Anthony, Hakim Warrick and Gerry McNamara. Very interesting statistical coincidence, though!</p>

<p>Shrinkwrap,
A bracket shows the match ups in the single-elimination tournament. Only the first round match ups are known. “Your” bracket would indicate your predictions of the results of the first round matches and the results of the projected next rounds.</p>

<p>^Thanks! My firefox security went CRAZY with those!</p>

39

<p>My dog Henry and I have made our picks.</p>

<p>^^^I may as well have consulted with Henry because outside of the ACC I don’t have a clue.</p>
