2011 NCAA College Basketball Season

[Guest mr. potato head]

Then again, they do have the refs on their side.

[The Buscher]

The officiating has been horseshit. I'm going to be rooting so hard against Syracuse now.

[Magus978]

The fix was painfully in. It was an 8 on 5 game against UNC-Asheville today. They were screwed out of a legitimate chance to pull off the greatest upset in NCAA Tournament history.

The chalk junkies got what they wanted today, and even though I have 'Cuse going to the Final Four, I'm sick to my stomach about it.

[Blitz]

I took Syracuse out of my Elite Eight once Melo was rules ineligible. It looks like Kansas State will have a legitimate shot to knock them off this weekend.

[Magus978]

I was going to do that too, but I didn't get to my bracket in time after I made it.

Oh well, it's not like I'm gonna win the ESPN tournament challenge anyway.

Wow...there isn't a facepalm big enough for this

[Blitz]

West Virginia is on a mission to screw up my perfect day.

[Meacon Keaton]

I picked Gonzaga. Long Beach State ruined my perfect day. They were suppose to be my yearly #12 over #5.

Oh, I have VCU over Wichita State, so I'm still alive with that #12 over #5.

I'm sure I just sahyered myself there.

[Blitz]

This has been a terrible set of games for me. West Virginia lost, Wichita State lost and Baylor is holding on for dear life. Perry Jones III with TWO points? Ridiculous. I haven't seen someone so passive since LeBron in the NBA Finals.

[Maxx]

Yeah, Wichita fucked up my perfect day. Made worse by the fact that up until 11:30 this morning, I had VCU. I blame Mark Titus.

[Guest mr. potato head]

VCU's the only blemish on my record so far. As long as UNLV wins tonight (and then a lot more since I've got them making it to the final eight), it'll stay that way.

VCU's the only blemish on my record so far. As long as UNLV wins tonight (and then a lot more since I've got them making it to the final eight), it'll stay that way.

I'm in the same boat on both of those, plus I also lost Long Beach and WVU. The Elite 8 pick for Vegas is definitely looking shaky.

Glad to see Vanderbilt finally got some therapy for that first-round mental block. Now, I only need them to win two more.

I'm also highly thankful that most of the bracket services simply list "Play-In Winner" rather than making you specify a team, since I expected Cal to make the Sweet 16. Now, I have to root for South Florida to win two more. It'd be fine, except watching their games is slightly more boring than watching flies fuck.

[Meacon Keaton]

I saw flies fuck once. I thought they were fighting.

Anyway, my miss was Long Beach State. After watching them in the conference final, I had them slated to slip into the Sweet Sixteen, so that's a booger for me. I like that MPH picked UNLV to go to the Elite-8. He really is stuck in 1990.

[JStarr]

It would really put the cherry on the shit sundae that's been the Pac-12 this season for Cal to bomb and Colorado to bone me (and MPH) out of Vegas making a run. Sure, NOW someone from that conference does something right.

[gunnar hendershow]

That Southern Miss story is hardly surprising. This is a college that willingly hired Larry Eustachy as head coach. Top suggestions for him on Google are pretty flattering I gotta say.

11/16 today unless UNLV miraculously comes back. Bad start.

EDIT - Rebels are runnin!!!!

Not anymore, Colorado will hang on.

[The Buscher]

Went 12-4 in the first day. Long Beach State, Wichita State, UConn, and UNLV let me down. Fortunately all of my Sweet 16 teams are still intact.

[The Buscher]

Texas has scored 2 points in 12 minutes. And I picked them. Think I went overboard in trying to predict the upsets when history has shown that upsets don't happen THAT often. Last year was an aberration.

[Meacon Keaton]

So after Texas looked abysmal in the first half, Cincinnati has sucked just as much in the second half. Neither of these teams want to win.

[gunnar hendershow]

Norfolk yeah!!!!

Not even bothered I got the pick wrong since I had the Gators winning on Sunday. Cincy, Creighton, and FSU gave me some heartburn today but so far it's been an excellent day.

[naiwf]

lol, Misery.
