He's saying he picked Ohio State yesterday, in the second round.

But why? I feel it's a snub. Gather the Ban Committee!

Because the NCAA decided the play in games are first round, round of 64 the second round, and round if 32 the third round.

Wish I'd have picked Ohio State in round two as well!

Yeah but gumby feels there's a bias and Arizona got overlooked. Ban!

We're not in the second round already, homey. They're called play in games, and I don't care what the evil NCAA wants us to believe.

First round was Tuesday/Wednesday and second round is Thursday and Friday. I had Ohio St over VCU and I now pick Xavier over Georgia St in the third round that starts tomorrow.

Oh and AZ will skullf*ck Ohio St tomorrow

I agree.

But before you all lose your minds and tar and feather a Wildcat fan for choosing Ohio State in 2nd Round, felt I should remind everyone of the technicality, even if bullcrap, and unnatural!

Not according to the NCAA tournement media guide along with Wikipedia. play in game ended in 2011 according to those 2 guides but itvis simply splitting hairs

No, no, no ... not the point.

It was irrelevant information, unneeded to declare the next pick. Therefore ... {dramatic music swells} ... WHY!!!!!!!?????

This better be good.

I'm making it a personal mission in life to destroy this "first round" where 60 teams get a bye. It's ridiculous, and this cause needs a hero. I see myself as that hero.

I regret nothing

azgreg · Post by **azgreg** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 6:43 pm

That's everybody's first pick. As a group we suck. only 15/40 had good picks.

dcZONAfan · Post by **dcZONAfan** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 9:01 pm

I choose UCLA for round two

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 9:13 pm

I'd like UAB (14), please.

VegasCatFan · Post by **VegasCatFan** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 9:20 pm

I'll take UAB also for hopefully 14.

I think the ref called a block just because of the weak ass flop.

Am I too late? Georgia State.

azgreg · Post by **azgreg** » Sat Mar 21, 2015 10:27 am

Just noticed in the OP that there isn't any criteria for winning. Is it the posters who go the furthest in the bracket and points will be the tie breaker or should it be the most points?

qwertyus · Post by **qwertyus** » Sat Mar 21, 2015 11:32 am

GG guys, couldn't root for FUCLA again, ah well...

I just got greedy and wanted more points with wishful thinking.

Most points was my assumption. Going farthest would've changed a lot of picks, I'd imagine.

That's what I'm thinking.

I that it was last person standing and then point totals among whoever is left at the end if there are multiple people.

from the first quoted post:
"If they lose, you're out of the challenge. If they win, you pick one team for the next round. "

Doesn't that mean...if your pick loses, you're completely out no matter y our point total?

So it can't be simply "most points", it has to be "going farthest" and then "most points" as the tiebreaker, right?
