Just finished my bracket....ask me who I picked to win it all!!!!

[joeybee12]

Go on, I dares ya!

[JonLP24]

1. Old Dominion?

:shrug:

[joeybee12]

10. hah!

I repeat, HAH!!!!

[brendan120678]

2. UConn....oh, wait...

unless you're talking about the ladies, or the Men's NIT, that ain't happening.

Ha!

[joeybee12]

9. I was!!

Actually, I wasn't, but I would pick the women...I don't think the men will win the NIT...not sure who, but it won't be UNC either.

[brendan120678]

13. For the women, yeah...UConn is likely gonna win.

Don't really care about the NIT. My alma mater - St. John's - is in it, but I doubt that they'll get very far.
I'm surprised they even made it in.

[joeybee12]

14. Are you old enough to remember when the NIT actually mattered?

When the NCAA only let in 16 teams, so the NIT got a lot of really good teams to play in it.

[brendan120678]

15. Not really...

that was what, mid 1980's?
I was born in late 1978, so I wasn't exactly that athletically astute quite yet.
And basketball in general wasn't really of any interest to me until high school.
The first major sporting milestone that I recall being aware of was the 1986 World Series.

[joeybee12]

17. NOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

There was no world series in 1986...it's all a lie!

The NIT was big in the early to mid 1970's.

[wilt the stilt]

30. In the forties and the early fifties

it was the defacto national championship

[Redbear]

3. Richmond Spiders?

Or UCSB Gauchos?

[joeybee12]

12. Close! n/t

[TZ]

4. Notre Dame!

I hope you did cause they are going out in the first round...:P

[joeybee12]

6. You're right!

I think they will...there's something in ther air.

[El Supremo]

[joeybee12]

8. no, but I like Gladiator movies...

...I filled it out on a print-out...I'm blocked at work so have to enter it into the pool tonight at home.

[Kingofalldems]

7. A laddie team. Gonzaga? Notre Dame?

[joeybee12]

11. You're right!

ND...everyone's picking them to lose in the 6-11 upset...I say phooey!!!!

[JonLP24]

16. Ha!

I actually got Notre Dame losing to Villanova in the Regional Semis. Even got them beating the third seed Baylor in the next round. :D

[joeybee12]

18. NOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOO

Either I finish at the bottom of our pool, or the top.

[madinmaryland]

19. I got you one up on that one. I have Villanova going to the final four, after beating

Baylor then Duke! I have ND losing to Old Dominion in the FIRST ROUND!!

:rofl:

[JonLP24]

20. LOL -- I'm afraid to say who I have winning that region

I might get laughed at not only with who I got but I also got them in the title game(losing). :scared:

[joeybee12]

22. Do tell!

:D

[JonLP24]

25. Ok some hints

1. I'm rooting against a Kansas-Kentucky final so my picks reflect that

2. I didn't want 4 #1 seeds in the Final 4. (I have 3)

3. I have the "team" beating Duke on the way there.

About point #3. I used teams Arizona State played against to give me an idea how they would fare. I had to use any or everything to figure out something as difficult as trying to accurately predict what happens so this is a strategy I went with. This explains why I have Notre Dame beating Baylor. ASU played well enough to win but lost by 2. Not to mention they held them to just 54 points. I figure Notre Dame should win based on that. I also have Tennessee beating San Diego St because Arizona State beat SDSU. Now to Duke, they played them at MSG in a tournament early in the season. They played well enough to win the first 30 minutes but last 10 minutes they played sloppy and abused the 3-point shot eventually losing by 11 in the final score. The "team" should be able to beat Duke based on this. If it isn't this team I see Duke in the final 4 so it's down to those two teams.

4. This "team" played Arizona State.

(Shouldn't be too hard to figure out)

[joeybee12]

26. Oh boy are you screwed....

Baylor.

[JonLP24]

27. LOL I have Notre Dame beating Baylor

I mentioned that TWICE to you. I used Baylor as an example of one of my "strategies" for picking winners and since ASU showed they could beat them I imagine ND should be able to. It's somebody else. :rofl:

[joeybee12]

28. Only other options are Cal and SDSU...

...then you're even MORE screwed!

[JonLP24]

29. Well San Diego St plays in the Midwest region

and the topic of this sub-thread is who I got winning the South region which is a little embarrassing to admit. Plus I already mentioned I have Tennessee beating SDSU because ASU beat the Aztecs as part of my "strategy".

[joeybee12]

21. Thank God! Now I am POSITIVE OF VICTORY!!!!!

:toast:

[madinmaryland]

23. So, are you picking Notre Dame to win the NIT??

:D

[JonLP24]

24. I got Arizona State in my NIT bracket

Jacksonville up first. Go Devils!!! :woohoo:

[joeybee12]

31. Lets' hope you do better in the NCAA bracket!!! n/t

[JonLP24]

32. !!!!!

:grr: :argh:

In seriousness I'm over it but I haven't seen a total meltdown like that in awhile. How in the world do you blow a double digit lead with 5 minutes left? :hi:

[joeybee12]

33. I just saw the highlights on ESPN today...problem is, no one gives a

shit about the NIT...look at how crappy UCONN played. Oh well, now you can focus your attention on rooting for the Irish!


:hi:

[El Supremo]

34. Both Obama and I have Baylor taking ND out in the second round.

Baptists defeat Catholics!

:woohoo:

[joeybee12]

35. Good Lord...you Baptists make Catholics look liberal!!

:crazy:

[JonLP24]

36. I got a couple of the same upsets as Obama

Murray St for one but mostly different. I got Kentucky and Kansas in the final 4 but NEITHER in the title game. I think he went over with the upsets like he did last year when he had 10 Temple beating 7 Arizona State in the first round. :D

[Renew Deal]

39. Typical clueless red sux fan!

:rofl:

[TZ]

37. UH OH JOEY!!!

:hide:

[JonLP24]

38. LOL - don't rub it in :)

It hurts me too as I had Notre Dame in the Sweet 16 but I can't imagine how joey's bracket looks. :evilgrin:

Villanova down by 3 :scared:

[Renew Deal]

40. Here's a picture of his brackets

[chollybocker]

41. Ouch.

That sucks big time.
