I'm in!

I think the old Mark Schlabach Memorial bracket is also still alive and kicking. :lol:
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

I think they'll be the first 1 seed to lose.

Wow. Just because that's what happens to #1 seeds in the tourney, or because this Gonzaga team doesn't have what it takes, in your opinion?

Just a feeling. However, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Baylor lose to NC in the 2nd round.

Greg’s just trying to get people not to pick Gonzaga. He’s clearly picking them to go all the way

Baylor might be the most upset prone of the top seeds. They're really reliant on making 3's, and that can be dangerous in a one and done setting.

I've spent zero time watching College Basketball outside of Arizona games this year.

So that means I'll either clean all your clocks or I'll flame out early like I do in all the years I actually do pay attention and think I know anything.

I honestly don’t remember who I picked to get to the Final 4

That was the fastest I've ever submitted a bracket. My final 4 is zags, bama, the muss buss, cade cunningham.
Zags are getting one this year I think.

I just realized that games start Friday not today like normal years.

This sucks because my plan today was to not move from my coach. Now what am I going to do?

Good news though- you still have all day today to sign up for our bracket.

Those aren't real games. They are the games that ASU is used to playing (and losing) in their best years

My big surprise is Colgate. I believe they are the best mid-major in the tourney. I have the lower seed winning 3 of the first 4 games so could be out of the competition in the first few hours. I don't consider Gonzaga a mid-major now.

Has all of his elite 8 pics in tact.

I was doing so well.... then Texas fucked me right in the sphincter.

That’s what I get for trusting Shaka Khan.
