I have no plans to play in a group for fun or money again this year. I always fill out a bracket and did so last year without being competitive about it. It's always fun to see just how poorly I pick the winners. :)
My son watches zero basketball and almost always has a better bracket.

yeah i have not watched much NCAA basketball this year. i only have watched on and off UCLA basketball. they are really young and are just starting to come around. i hipe they make it in this year. i do not think they will go very deep into the tourney though.....but they will be fun to watch.

who is your pick to go all the way???
 
I at least opened a bracket on Yahoo today. I've not filled it out yet but I will most likely do that later today. I'm not playing in a group this year but it's always fun to fill out a bracket or two. I always stink and rarely fare well even in small groups. To hide my lack of skill or good guessing, I'll silently play. :)
 
I filled out my bracket and thought about pulling a few more but decided to heck with it. I didn't even bother to pull on on ESPN this year. I'm just no all caught up in it like normal. Let the games begin! I love watching the games. It's the do or die of the tournament that makes it so entertaining. I don't really have a favorite team that will go deep in the tournament this year but I'll watch it all the same.
It's still free to watch. :)
 
I'm afraid that yesterday was just a sample of how poorly I picked this year. I honestly think it's getting harder each year for the teams are better and the bracketing makes all the games a big question mark.
I made six wrong picks again today. I have a whopping 20 teams correctly picked to play in the sweet sixteen round. Man I'm stinkin up the place. I'm sure glad I don't have any money riding on my bracket.
 
I managed to get seven of eight into the sweet sixteen today. If I can just do that good tomorrow I'll be back in business. I'd love to have 14 of the 16 playing next week.

While I'm not a March Madness fan, I think what makes March Madness so popular is underdogs knocking off much higher rated teams
 
It's interesting to watch from a basketball fan. It's often the different styles of the game going head to head that helps the underdog win games. Matchups... it's all about the matchups.
 
I had a chance to get all of my picks into the elite eight round. Tonight I only got one of four in. It was a bad night lol. My champion still survives but they play tomorrow. :) Oh well. Typical picks for me.
 
It's a big deal to make the elite eight. The tournament is a meat grinder and survival comes hard. You should be proud of your team. Kansas went out in their second game.
 
All I need now is for Purdue to lose to Tennessee this afternoon. That would be fitting being as I have them picked to win it all. What a miserable year lol.
 
Saw Illini game twice because it was weather or not if my sister got a day off from her work before easter, was okay game, also Iowa game girl basektball game, was okay, still not a fan of sports.
