OT: Brackets, Anyone?



It's March, and march means two awesome things, baseball season is near and March madness is near. i'm focusing on the latter.  So it's a Yahoo pool, using the standard scoring system of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32. According to this day in CC history we did a pool last year, so why not do it again.

I don’t usually fare too well in the tournament, but maybe I’ll get lucky

i'm in

i feel like the picks were much harder this year. i mean…duke always loses, but look at that region! who are they going to lose to?

by twistedlogic on Mar 17, 2010 10:13 AM EDT reply actions  

i watch them give KU a run for thier money at A&M

if that play like they played against KU, they can beat Puke.

yea but

Baylor plays their suite 16 and elite 8 games in houston. Not to mention Nova and Duke are flawed as well. That region will be a disastor in most brackets.

1-16 games last year:

Louisville 74 Morehead State 54
UConn 103 Chattanooga 47
Pitt 72 East Tennessee State 62
UNC 101 Radford 58

So its definitely possible, 26 is not a huge margin for a 1-16 game.

The best teams just anialate their opponents in the first round. I would go on KU actually

I don't like college basketball

I havent, nor will I,watched a single game this year. Never the less, I made a bracket. Last year I did the same thing and my bracket was top 10% in the nation on ESPN. I basically just guess based on the tiny bit of knowledge I absorb from ESPN being on in the background, reading SI, etc. We’ll see how it goes this year.

by daveh873 on Mar 18, 2010 11:07 AM EDT reply actions  

Same for me

I don’t like college basketball. But I use a very complicated formula to make my picks. It involves their ranking, the color of their uniforms, and how how the guy they show in the picture is.

Thats better than mine

I go by their rankings and if the name of the one team (not even the mascot, just the name) sounds like it can beat the name of the other in my head.

It isn't even that cool though

I dont know most of their mascots. I just say (in my head) “Hm. BYU vs Florida. Which scool sounds like it has a better basketball program?” and then whatever my 1st instinct is, I go with it.

Dave, you're DavesBestGuess I assume?

If so, we’re the only two who picked West Virginia to win the entire thing. Given our sophisticated picking processes I think that everyone else should prepare to look like fools.

You are right though

If Purdue wins, I dont think I can finish ahead of you. If Duke wins, you cant beat me. Thats our game.

Oh crap

I didnt notice you were in last. That is pretty crazy. One win can make you go worst to 1st, maybe 2nd.

i know

its hilarious. i’m in last place, but i have more possible points than almost everyone in front of me.

yeah if Kentucky beats West Virginia it won't matter

For the purposes of our competition, that’s the biggest game coming up. Tetris also picked Kentucky though so you won’t have it in the bag if they win.

yea i know

tetris i think has me beat…since we have pretty much identical picks.

I'm rooting for UNI

I want Farokhmanesh to make a last-second buzzer beater that beats MSU. That’d make me feel much better.

Wow, someone is excited

I’m quite happy WVU is moving on as well.

fiddlesticks

i officially ended up with the lucky 13….better known as last place.

by twistedlogic on Mar 27, 2010 10:42 PM EDT reply actions  

I'll do one better

In another league I’m in I’m tied for 7th among 20.

I have ZERO Potential Points Remaining. ZERO. That’s hard to do.

Checking out the scenarios

It looks like the only possible winners are Dave, the guy who I’ve been assuming is BrianS, and brotz13.

If Baylor beats Duke and West Virginia, brotz13 wins.
If Baylor beats Duke and loses to WVU, then WVU loses the championship, brotz13 wins.
If Baylor beats Duke and loses to WVU, the WVU wins the championship, Dave wins.
If Duke beats Baylor and WVU, Brian wins.
If Duke beats Baylor and loses to WVU, Dave wins.

Lets go Vols

I like Pearl, and Izzo’s already got enough Final Fours, it’d be right if Pearl won.

IF Duke wins, and IF West Virginia beat Duke (not huge ifs)

Then I’m getting a nice wee settlement.

I’ll have half of the final four, and half of the natty game if WV advances, but considering that no one has Butler nor Tennessee(wetf?)/Michigan State, Imma be in pretty good shape.

if Kansas wouldn't have effed up, I'd be in first

Cuz I’d have my national title game alive.

That's a fairly large if

Considering that Kansas lost in the round of 32, and you needed them to advance four more games.

I cant believe i still have chance to win one of my pools (and its the biggest cash one)

I need:
1) Baylor to beat Duke
2) West Virginia to beat Baylor
3) 148 points or more to be scored in the final

3-pointer palooza.

I think if Butler and WVU win, all of CBS will go into depression.
