March Madness 2010

[HailtotheYo]

and the first game to end gets MM off to the right start.

ODU beats ND.

Also, RM is looking to upset Nova.

all this before I even get home from work. Fantastic.

For the last 4 years, Old Dominion has been a team I've picked to win their opening game regardless of their opponent. This year I did not, I have payed for my sins.

Also, Florida does not deserve to win against BYU, they've had 2 chances to put it away and blew them both, horribly.

[rocksta]

Speaking of not desrving to win Villanova...holy shit. You get all the calls going down the stretch today, haven't led since 9-8. Holy shit.

[sahyder1]

Two out of the first three games go into OT and the 3rd was literally an inch away from doing the same. Great start to the NCAA Tournament.

Okay, first, thank you Luke Harangody for doing NOTHING YOU BIG WASTE OF FUCKING SPACE. Seriously, I pick ND to go to the sweet 16, figuring Harangody will carry the team since it's his senior year. Nah, fuck me, Old Dominion shuts them up. Then Villanova almost falls at the hands of Robert Morris? And Jimmer Fredette drops 37 on Florida (thank god). I'm upset 'Nova almost lost, but it looks good for my Siena pick down the road now. I'm kind of happy to escape 2-1 out of the morning 3 seeing as how I could have very easily been 0-3 and had an elite 8 team knocked out too.

[Lowerdeck]

I had a feeling Old Dominion was going to do that, but I still went with ND anyway.

Damn it...

[HailtotheYo]

hopefully people will shut up about ND now .... I mean really, they were tabbed the last three years and .. caput.

My Bracket

What is Ohio doing, taking out my Sweet Sixteen Georgetown? I don't approve.

[sahyder1]

Damn you Ohio!

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

That's nothing, I had Vanderbilt in the final four

I had Georgetown in Final Four on most of my brackets. It's all cool though. Better to have it out of the way early. I'd be more angry if it was in the Elite 8 or something. I was talking to Bruce Arthur of National Post a little while ago and agree with him that not having a bracket can be good because you can kick back and root for the underdogs. Go Vermont!

[Hajjhowe]

Vermont will clearly win.

They have Syracuse's number.

You had them winning the EWB, ESPN bracket

[Meacon Keaton]

My wife did her first brackets ever this year and she did it without asking my help. She picked Georgetown to win it all, and I told her that was a solid pick. So last night I had to tell her what a fool she was.

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Yeah, I picked Georgetown to make it to the Elite 8... shitty fucking pick on my part. Let's just hope Pitt and 'Cuse don't let me down, or else I might as well kiss my bracket goodbye.

But hey, at least Cornell won.

[Lowerdeck]

Well, everything's gone to hell this year already

[JStarr]

You can all take Siena and shove them up your collective asses.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Boo. Initially I thought Krone picking them was enough reason to go for Purdue, but then somebody who knows a bit more than I do told me Purdue was missing a few starters.

Siena may have been the lower seed but them losing was definitely a bracket-buster for a lot of people. That was an "upset" that a lot of people were predicting. On ESPN alone 36.5% of the 4.8 million brackets had Siena winning the opening round match up. 12.5% (1 out of every 8 brackets for those you mathematically challenged) had them winning their 2nd round match up too.
