Anyone get busted by Louisville losing? actually of one of my brackets, I have them all perfect so far...

I actually picked the Richmond "upset" in every bracket I had. I think that was a great game although it was closer than I though it would be. I figured richmond by 10 because Vandy hasnt really impressed me.

I predicted Richmond as well.

I also had Princeton upsetting Kentucky...oh so close!

That would be me. I had Louisville going to the Final Four.

I got Richmond right, but I had Old Dominion over Butler, but that last second shot ruined it for me (and ODU). I was hoping for the double Virginia upset. $:-\$

My redemption bracket is perfect except for L'ville. I had them winning next round too. I have one at school though that is looking really good.

Well, the fightin Jimmers move on...Ferdette dropped 32. he is just ridiculous!

Ouch. I picked Mizzou, Utah state, Michigan State and St. Johns... needless to say the late night was unkind to me.

The Guardian · « **Reply #6 on:** March 18, 2011, 12:43:11 AM »

I had Mich St. and Louisville going to the Sweet 16, but still have all Elite 8 teams in play.

Thankfully, I had Richmond going to the Elite Eight. Morehead was not planned though. I had also picked Mizzou to go to the next round. So far nothing ruined though.

I just lost Louisville in the Sweet 16. No big deal.

I had George Mason going a couple rounds...... Shame that Villanova learned to play again....

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #10 on:** March 18, 2011, 04:35:44 PM »

!!!!!!!!!!

I take back what I said about Mason

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #11 on:** March 18, 2011, 06:34:03 PM »

On my paper bracket, I changed to Mason. I must have forgot to do that online.

Everything else is the same.

I had the same problem with Butler. I had ODU in every bracket online, but when I wrote out my bracket on paper, I was like, oh, yeah, I picked Butler, since they did so good last year, they will definatley win at least one round.

Well my Washington over UNC pick was looking pretty good until Washington forgot how to hold onto the ball for the last 6 minutes of the game....... So many bad passes and turnovers. And lets not even talk about the fact that it was basically a home game for UNC.

crustpope · « **Reply #14 on:** March 20, 2011, 02:25:17 PM »

yeah, me too. I though washington had more gas in the tank and could go the distance. now my elite 8 pick looks to be in trouble

Wow, there have been some GREAT games this weekend. The duke/MI game was close the Texas/Zona game is tied up right now. These are some fantastic basketball games

To make up for Louisville, what my brackets really need is a deep run from a Cinderella that people did not likely pick, like VCU or Richmond.

All I know is that this tournament proves that the Big East did not deserve a "record setting" 11 teams. I hope the ACC FSU Seminoles continues to prove the point. Virginia Tech was hosed for the second year in a row.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #18 on:** March 20, 2011, 10:41:52 PM »

My bracket tanked so hard today. Syracuse losing was not cool. Same deal as the UNC-Washington game earlier - Unforced errors. I really wish basketball had that as a stat - Turnovers that the defense didn't cause.

Which Big East Team are you taking out? Marquette is the lowest seed, and they are in the sweet 16.

I don't know specifically...Georgetown (read: 5 game losing streak)? I just know 2 things about myself:
1) I hated seeing an ACC team pushed out when the Big East is fizzling (their only two teams still in the tournament was from when the Big East played itself).
2) I typically go against the grain when it comes to things that are hyped.

First Pitts, now Purdue. There goes two of my final four teams...

crustpope · « **Reply #22 on:** March 21, 2011, 02:16:54 PM »

I tell you I am real proud of the Big Ten. 2 teams left and many of the teams that no one thought should be good played well. Michigan taking Duke to the wire was nice. Mich St and Purdue vastly underwhelmed though :/

UConn!
