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. Northwestern looks absolutely horrible.

I DVR'd the second half of the Nova game, I had to be away. So I'm back now, and just watched it, fast-forwarding some. Amazing, how could they lose to a team that committed a tone of turnovers and couldn't shoot from the free throw line? So much for Villanova; we gotta agree with member Xeliou66 above who said they were overrated. Number 1 overall, choking like this? Haha. Now I got the second blow to my Elite 8 (also had Notre Dame there). It's not looking good for me. I have to do very well in the next several games to recover, if possible.

At this point, anybody who says "NO" is most definitely lying!

At this point, anybody who says "NO" is most definitely lying! That would depend on your definition of "busted." If your Elite 8 had SMU, Villanova, FSU, Notre Dame, and Iowa State...yeah, you busted. But if you believe losing 1 of your Elite 8 teams is busting your bracket...well, it's not.

Hoping for a better day today. Duke, Arizona, Kansas, Oregon, Louisville, N. Carolina, UCLA and Kentucky need to come true for me.

Getting those eight wins today would sure improve my outlook.

Ive never picked a bracket before, I feel like Im missing out.
So as a newb who has never done this, is it fun to do it? I mean I back in the day did NBA/NFL fantasy, but I quit NFL fantasy (Ill go OT, so when you see the line you dont gotta read it, but it's my fantasy bragging rights!).
Is it fun doing March Madness? I dont keep up with the college game as much anymore, I have wanted to try it. JC.
Ok now OT, and why I quit NFL fantasy (NBA fantasy I ended up quitting because it's so much work). So this is all OT and if you dont wanna read, all good. I still am curious though about how fun March Madness is!
Ok now to my OT fun!
__________________________________________________________________
So now why I quit NFL Fantasy, this is OT, so you dont gotta read it, but one year I went undefeated and it was awesome, this is why. It was a once in a life time auction draft!:
So one of my NFL fantasy teams went undefeated, and I was like yea Im not getting better than this. That team was a beast, it was RG3s rookie year, and I spent all my cash on RBs and 2 beast WRs.....I like doing auction drafts as I feel you get a true shot at everyone, snake you get what you get, but I somehow got AP for like 25-28 bucks, I got Doug Martin for 20ishish who was a monster that year, Adrian Foster for like 30ish, and 2 other pretty decent RBs for 10 each..
That was 100 on RBs, then AJ Green cost me another 30, B. Marshall cost me 30, and Vincent Jackson was like 11-12ish. That's 180 bucks when you only get 200, I got V. Davis cheap for 5. I now had 15 for a QB, but not even 15, like really 10 cuz you need a dollar to fill slots. Everyone had their Mannings, Bradys, Bree's, etc, and I was like jesus what's left. Schaub? SO I said...well, idk what to do and nabbed RG3 for 8 bucks and people were like,"haha, you spent all that on WR and RBs and now you got no fn QB." I was even like, man, this team is so good and I got some rookie freaking QB, shoot. That draft went so darn well....well boy o boy did RG3 pan out, his rookie season, yea!
I made 2 beast pick ups I cant recall in Free Agency. I remember I was like 5 RB deep, had 3 awesome WRs and you know how Free agency is. There is always some player no one nabs that can change your season, I rememebr nabbing two good Wrs (And for the life of me, cant recall who). I was deep...but then I had a chance to go pure beast mode: I also traded for Gronk AND Ray Rice. I had to give up 2 of my RBs (I wish I remember who but they were no scrubs) and my 2 WR pick ups and Vernon Davis. This kid I traded had nada, no depth. He had a good QB (I forgot who) Rice and Gronk but nothing else. So he took the hit at TE (And if you recall Davis was still making good numbers) and the 2 WRs helped him (He had Dez, but nothing else) and the 2 RBs helped him a lot. He lost Rice but when it came out, he ended up with more points from the trade and those guys werent doing anything for me, I couldnt start them. I remember I even faced him in the first playoff round so yea the trade worked for him too. In the end:
RG3 A. Foster A. Peterson R. Rice (D. Martin the first few weeks) AJ Green B. Marshall Gronk (V. Davis for the first few weeks)
With D.Martin and VJax in my depth chart for bye weeks. I made some good FA pick ups, and I got offered that deal for Rice and Gronk for V. Davis, 2 RBs in my depth and 2 WRs in my depth, making me insanely thin with just Martin and Vincent Jackson, and this kid had NO depth. So I lost my depth for Rice and Gronk, yea.
Phew sorry, lmao. Always love discussing my one awesome fantasy year, alright sorry for the OT fun!

Big 10 is good in basketball this year, Michigan has an underrated team. I should've picked them to beat Louisville, Cards didn't have any inside game all year. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a Michigan-Purdue Elite 8 matchup.

There you go, I lost my third Elite 8 now that Louisville also lost - horrible ACC this year! Only two schools left. To finish the decimation, maybe both Duke and UNC will lose today as well! This would finish busting my bracket for good, but other than that, I'd find it somewhat entertaining, to bring down their arrogance a little.

I very strongly doubt anybody had South Carolina beating Duke.

If someone had just picked all the higher seed to advance every game, they would have 500 points after the first two rounds. They highest point total in our little pool is 460.
Last year doing the same would have netted you just 390 the first two rounds, 450 in 2015, and 440 in 2014.
