I have decided to forgo filling out a bracket. I keep filling them out, and we keep not making the final 4.

That and nobody in Spain even knows what the ncaa tournament is...

Same for both groups:

UNC, Nova, Kansas, Arizona to win it......of course I always pick Arizona to win it all....the heart wants what the heart wants! Lol.

Unless you're specifically thinking about certain match-ups and/or the magic of Ball, if you're picking UCLA to go deep, you have to pick Michigan to go deep. Michigan's offense is elite, their defense is as good as UCLA's, their coach is way better, and they have momentum.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Tue Mar 14, 2017 7:31 am

I have AZ over Kansas

I'm IN.

But I suspect my bracket will go south very quickly.

I'm in again, too. Almost like Deja Vu. All over again.

I feel like Purdue is going to fuck me right in the ass, but outside of Arizona they are the team I've seen most this year and I have a lot of (probably misplaced) confidence in them.

Chi, I want to jump on board. A player like swanigan can win the first two rounds on his own.. who else do they have behind him? How is their D?

Their D is really good, and what they hang their hat on. They cut off passing lanes and do a good job denying the ball into the post.

Swanigan is just an ok passer out of the post, so when teams double him it can lead to turnovers or forced shots. I'm worried that if the rest of the team starts standing around, they will go cold in a hurry and fuck my bracket.

Hey so my company has a tournament game that goes round by round. Is it ok to post in here? It's a free app with in-app purchases, but you're able to sign up and play the tournament for free (it's a token based game app). I think our game will be pretty fun, but I don't want it to seem like I'm just advertising or something. There is the ability to have a league so we're all playing together. (also, I built the tourney game in about 2 weeks right before Pac tourney, so I'm kinda excited about it)

where's yours? in the last 15 years that i've filled out a bracket i've spent hours analyzing stats and data and various matchups for my bracket and it largely meant nothing in the long run. so this year i kinda just fudged it.

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Tue Mar 14, 2017 9:10 am

I picked off the top of my head and have forgotten my Final Four. I do remember I homered it and picked Arizona as my national champion, though, so I've got that going for me.

Did you see two articles down from that where they are claiming St Marys was underseeded and has a good chance of upsetting AZ.

Only 15? Call me superstitious but I don't think I could ever not pick us to win it all......heart over mind for sure. I'm a Wildcat Homer and proud of it. BTFD.

Just want to let you all know that I'm gonna get a billion for a perfect bracket. That is all.

The only time I did not pick us to win it all in a pool was... 1997.
