I voted no because all of my main teams are still in it, I picked 2 incorrectly yesterday I believe but overall I'm still good.

Not busted because all my sweet 16 teams are still in, but I got three wrong already in the round of 64 so it's not looking particularly good.

No. Missed two, neither of which I had going any further.
Unlike last year, when the team I picked to win it all, Michigan State, bombed out on Day One. I would have won all four pools I was in in Sparty had even went to the Elite Eight

More importantly, I have UCLA playing in the final game and Lonzo Ball got injured today. UCLA has to get by Kentucky and North Carolina in the South, and Ball's injury is going to make that a really difficult task. |

No one is out of it yet, as there are so many different combinations. I'm down by 5 to the good doctor, and we have the same championship game, and 3 of the same final 4 teams. But if Duke gets in over Villanova, that's 8 points. We also have quite a few other differences. For example, I have URI vs Michigan in the sweet 16. He has Oregon vs Louisville. That could be a 16 point swing. And with most of the first 2 days being anything but madness, I really doubt anybody's bracket is blown up. Unless someone really, really liked SMU.

I had SMU beating Duke and going to the Elite 8. So in addition to missing 7 of the first 32 games and in addition to 1 of my championship game picks (UCLA) having an injury to their best player, 1 of my Elite 8 teams (SMU) is already out. |

I missed 8 of the first 32 and had SMU in the round of 16 so that hurt more. All the others are still alive although I also have UCLA in the round of 16 and Lonzo Ball's absence is concerning.
I picked some upsets because it is no fun to have a bracket where only the highest seed advances but I fell flat in most of them (there weren't many upsets in the round of 64) except for Xavier over Maryland and Rhode Island over Creighton. What killed me in the round of 16 wasn't even that: the always unpredictable 8 v. 9 game, I got 3 of them wrong; that's just bad luck.

I had a bad day and missed 4. None of my upsets came through. I had Minnesota going to the Sweet 16 and no further, that hurts a little bit, but not bad.
Congrats to the good Dr for having a hell of a good round of 64. We are all chasing you my man.

I've missed 5 games, only SMU being a 16 team.
This has been one dull tournament. The double digit seeds that won were in the "I could see that coming" file. Rhode Island, Wichita State, Middle Tennessee State, Xavier. There won't be any Cinderella's in the later rounds of this one, but there should be some wpic games in the 16 and the 8.

It's going to be hard for UCLA to get by Kentucky and North Carolina without Ball or with Ball at less than 100%.
There's really only been 3 big upsets so far: Xavier over Mayland (I missed this) Rhode Island over Creighton (I got this) Middle Tennessee over Minnesota (I got this)
I had UNC Wilmington over Virginia, but UNC Wilmington couldn't pull off the upset. I also got 3 wrong on the 8 vs 9 games.

Now Notre Dame's loss was a big blow to my bracket. I had them in the Elite 8. Nova seems to be in some trouble against Wisconsin and if they lose then it's another blow to my Elite 8. Darn! Fortunately I have them ending their favoritism and title defense then and there, losing to Duke.

That hurt my bracket. Jay Wright and Villanova goes back to being Tournament chokers.

I picked Nova to lose to Florida in the Sweet 16 so that didn't hurt my bracket. I said all year Nova was overrated, they weren't a deep team and they played a rather weak schedule. Xeliou's picks are looking terrific!

I've seen a lot of stupid play in the last minutes in this Tournament. Poorly designed plays, poor execution, bad fouls. My grandson could coach and play better than this. |
