For added fun, please entitle your bracket what your username here is. if you do more than one, simply include it somewhere in there (badger2... badger3...)

PS: I think there is an entrant limit per group on Yahoo, so enter early and often

[ouflak]

In!

[badger]

10 entrants so far. I think you have till Thursday morning to enter/fill out bracket

[badger]

For some stupid reason, I had a max of 1 bracket per member. Well, I upped that to 5 if you're not a subscriber to "sheets of integrity" mindset :)

If brackets aren't your thing, I have also posted some vBookie events for the NCAAs (and their lesser counterparts in dishonor of Baylor and Texas).

I'm signed up as Tanline.

[Boomer.....]

[8timechamps]

Tuesday and Wednesday's games don't count, so you still have time to get your picks in!

[badger]

You have a day left and there is still room at the inn (I think there's a max of 50, so a dozen spots left).

Don't forget to fill out your bracket once you register :D

[badger]

SIX OPENINGS LEFT!

You MUST register AND create a bracket before the first tipoff today (at about 11 a.m.)

[badger]

50 entries! Thanks guys.

Of course, some people probably did more than one, so if you want to try to still sneak in you are welcome to try... but you only have about a half-hour before the first game starts...

Would there be any interest in a second chance tourney? (where you start with the Sweet 16 and pick from there)?

[badger]

So you picked Gonzaga as your national champion.

So you didn't think a 15-seed would make the Sweet 16.

So you thought the Big 12 was more than just Kansas.

You have a second chance!

Wow, can't believe I am tied for first. I haven't even looked at ye ole bracket after day 2. Knew it would be another crazy tournament, though. Till we have no 1 and done rule, things are going to be hard to predict.

Once again, if your bracket sucked or you just forgot to do one, you can start with 16 instead of 64(ish) this time around if you enter the second chance tourney! However, deadline is whenever the Sweet 16 games start, so sneak in now if you want

[MyT Oklahoma]

Done.

P.S. And let the laughing begin because I don't know squid about college b-ball.

[badger]

If bracket busting isn't your thing, vBookie on SF.com's Sports Book board now has the Sweet 16 lines posted, up to 12.5 (Gulf Coast vs. Florida, Lville vs Oregon) down to 1.5 (Duke/MSU, KU/Mich)

It was worth it having KU folding early. You would need to be a native born Kansan to appreciate the humor of the Jayhawks going home and Wichita State going to Atlanta.

Best wishes to Wichita State though. Go Wheat Shockers go.

High scoring better in basketball. I beat you cuz I'm 30 and you're only 7.

Wanna be low number? Go play golf durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[SoonerNomad]

My picks in the original bracket were horrible. Even though I had Louisville beating Michigan in the final game the rest of my picks were so bad I finished 21st in your pool. Ugh.

[MyT Oklahoma]

I picked Louisville to win it all this year and last year I picked Kentucky. At least I can pick the ultimate winners.
