I had Virginia out in the Sweet 16. Just wish I had picked Kentucky to go to the Final 4 instead of Arizona. It was going to be one or the other for me. I didn't believe in Virginia and I didn't believe in anyone on the bottom part of the East bracket. Oh well! |

I took them out in Sweet 16 also....didn't know they would be dominated like they were tonight, but I figured someone would get hot and score some points....and had no confidence in Virginia being able to keep pace on offense. |

the goal is to go into the Round of 32 with a perfect Sweet 16 still possible....due to Virginia, my bracket did not achieve that goal. |

I already have 3 out of my Sweet 16: Zona, Virginia, and New Mexico St. Plus I picked Loyola Chicago to get there, although if they beat Tennessee, that would be a huge win for me. |

only a 5.5 point spread....if they can play with the same energy they brought against Miami....I would say it's a toss up. Maybe that little nun that sets court side will make a special request from the big guy. |

I didn't think they played well against Miami, and Tennessee had a blowout, so I'm hoping that Loyola picks their game up and that Tennessee has a down game. |

less "madness" tomorrow as there are not as many overlapping games....but the schedule is full of expected great matchups! Starts off @ noon with Collin Sexton taking on 'Nova...and that is the only double digit point spread game on the day with 'Nova favored by 11.....everything else is single digit spreads. |

I have 14 of my "hopeful 16" still alive. Hoping to have 7 of my picks make it to the elite 8... Not holding my breath, it has been a truly "mad" March madness thus far.....
ChickenStu...Go Tennessee.... |

Had I realized that Tennessee was playing its first game (and possibly a second before the tournament started) in the state of Tennessee, I probably would not have picked Loyola Chicago to beat them in round two. Oh well, maybe it can still happen. |

@ChickenStu.... Well you got that first upset, so it sure can happen again. I have Tennessee, but if Loyola Chcago win, I will be happy for you.
Points go to 2 per win this round. then multiply every round afterwards, so getting as many horses to those final 8 and beyond rounds are crucial... your doing great so far, I am looking to defend two straight wins here, looking for a 3 peat. But middle of the pack now, perhaps a podium finish for me? We shall see, fun though, that's what counts. |

I know ESPN, Yahoo and CBS are reporting all brackets have been broken.....not sure about NCAA's Capital One game...but I assume they are all broken also.
There is one guy nationally on Yahoo that hit 31 out of 32 (missed VA)...but that is still amazing....fwiw, he has Tennessee, Purdue, Michigan State and Michigan in Final Four. |

I had Villanova winning the championship in another bracket....I think the early tournament loss last year was a wakeup call for them. |

One of the first times I have disagreed with you on something.
I really like them, they defend so hard and play with such toughness.
Huggins is a very underrated coach. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

They couldn't make a chippie in the 1st half at all. And the dude with the long hair for Murray St was gobbling up rebounds on them. Huggins himself said during the halftime interview that they should've been up 25 lol. I'm just happy they won, as I have a vested interest in them this year. |
