My 1st run-through has Wisconsin beating UNC for the title. I don't think I like that pick. I'll have to go over it again

I've got the Gators repeating over Georgetown. I'll probably change it up a few times before the tourney starts.

I've got my bracket filled in. I might have watched a total of two hours of basketball this season, so if I do any good on my picks, it's going to be pure dumb luck.

Go Bucks!

Duke is the first game i got wrong so far. Everyone was picking VCU for the upset, so I thought i'd go against it. Either way I have pitt winning that next game anyway, so no big blow to my bracket thus far

Gah damnit. I messed up my TR bracket and had Duke over VCU, despite having VCU on every other sheet I've done :\ I used the same bracket for every pool I entered, except that one difference by mistake, plus to make it worse I put Duke over Pitt. I don't know what crack I was smoking when I did that. Oh well, still only have 1 wrong (soon to be 2 when Gonzaga loses) in my office pool, and that's the only one I've got money in.

That really sucks!

my bracket is going to get torn to shreds later, but for now I have no loses that go beyond next round(i.e. i haven't lost any potential points).

Chalk holds.

I picked 11 "upsets" in the first round. Only 5 of them actually happened. :oops: Three of those were evenly-matched 9 vs. 8 games. The only two real upsets in the first round were #11 Winthrop over #6 Notre Dame and #11 Virginia Commonwealth over #6 Duke.

Bah, shoulda had 28, but for some reason I filled my TR bracket out differently than all my others.

But, still leading my work pool by a point, so I'm still sittin pretty :)
