I feel your pain, Ned. I've got 8 of 8 teams on the south+west side of the bracket, but I can score only 4 more points (out of 48) on the entire east+midwest side. The only scenario that I can win is if both Virginia and North Carolina fail to advance to the final four. You can win if Virginia advances.

Too bad that Yahoo hasn't done a Second Chance bracket (Sweet 16) since 2013.

Cinderellas still dancing in the elite eight: 10 Syracuse

Upset winners from the seventh day: 2 Villanova, 2 Oklahoma
#1 seeds eliminated: 1 Kansas, 1 Oregon

There are four of us with no more points possible. Amazingly enough, I can still win in the extremely unlikely event that #10 Syracuse and #6 Notre Dame both knock off #1 seeds tomorrow.

Why Kansas, why?

And there remains a 178 point-possible bracket on Yahoo.

Well Syracuse came through for JAE. I can't have ND go to te final four, though. I still have UNC to win it all.

Wreckage. Sheer wreckage. Bloody inchoate carnage. Probably the worst bracket of my life.

Cinderella going to the final four: 10 Syracuse
#1 seed eliminated on the eighth day: 1 Virginia

If the sole remaining #1 seed North Carolina wins the championship, Hannah wins. If #2 Villanova, #2 Oklahoma or #10 Syracuse is the champion, Peter wins.

No one team killed me. Rather, I killed myself with poor picks.

Wow. Me and my wife...who know nothing about NCAA...

It's all sheer luck.

Best ending ever.

I got nothing.

yeah, holy crap. I don't really pay attention to basketball (college or otherwise) but that was an excellent game.
