Go to the linked Yahoo site and click on the Join Group button. The details in my first post will let you set up your team. After Selection Sunday, you can pick your bracket and wait, like the rest of us, for the Second Chance series with just the Sweet 16.

Yahoo will open your brackets for picks about 30 seconds after the end of the Selection Sunday show on CBS March 11. You'll have until March 15 to fill your bracket.
This isn't teams. You're trying to predict the winner of every game in the NCAA tournament up to and including the championship game. There's 63 games you need to pick winners for (I doubt the 4 play-in games will be part of the Yahoo bracket).

1 Samuel 17: A champion named Goliath, who was from Missouri, came out of the Big12 camp. He was over nine feet tall....Now David... was from Norfolk State in the MEAC.... Then he... chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.....As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine... The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.Kyle O'Quinn wrote:Wow!

However, feel free to substitute Coach K. and/or John Beilein for Goliath if it makes the story more entertaining for you.JustAnEngineer wrote:Oh, and Lehigh? LEHIGH??? HAHAHAHA!!1 Samuel 17:50 So David won the fight against Goliath with a sling and a stone. He struck the Philistine down and killed him. He did it without even using a sword.
