Re: Bear Down Wildcats - Bracket Challange
Done and done, picked the only final outcome that is possible
Re: Bear Down Wildcats - Bracket Challange
Did mine too. Probably way off on most of my picks, (had to do a revenge run for us) but the champion is all that matters.

Re: Bear Down Wildcats - Bracket Challange
Make your picks!
For some reason my entry is with my son's name (Noah) and it won't allow me to change it.
I have a feeling our brackets will be all about the runner-up team as most of us might have the same winner!

Re: Bear Down Wildcats - Bracket Challange
I have submitted mine. Its good to be back in the tournament as a 1 seed.

Might? If anyone doesn't have the same winner they should be banned.Alieberman wrote: ↑Sun Mar 13, 2022 6:05 pm Make your picks!

Re: Bear Down Wildcats - Bracket Challange
We’re all picking Duke right?
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've got AZ beating Kentucky in the championship game. Final score?
84-79, of course.

Is it OK if I fill mine out after the Tournament is over?

Re: Bear Down Wildcats - Bracket Challange
I encourage everyone to participate. You never know. Stop focusing on my performance every year. Maybe it's your turn now if you can just resist your own misguided instincts.

Re: Bear Down Wildcats - Bracket Challange
The 9/8 game consistently blows up my brackets. I'm going to have my daughter pick them this year.
Oh and always, and I mean always, have Arizona in the FF. That's a must...but I do feel a little more lucky this year.
Re: Bear Down Wildcats - Bracket Challange
I saw this somewhere where they broke it down even further in win % by seed by power conference teams vs mid majors. Can't seem to fine it now.
Re: Bear Down Wildcats - Bracket Challange
I think I saw that in the last few (10?) years, 11 seeds have a winning record vs 6

Re: Bear Down Wildcats - Bracket Challange
Completed. I had my daughter pick them all and she did mostly chalk...poor thing.
But she did have Arizona winning it so I must have done something right.

I have Iowa in the final 4, they better pull it together so we can whoop their butts in a couple weeks.
Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.

Re: Bear Down Wildcats - Bracket Challange
Had Iowa going to the FF too. And of course this was their worst shooting game of the year. Ice cold. All they had to do was make it to next weekend, and they would've basically been playing home games for the SS and EE. Iowa fans would've made that short drive to Chicago in droves and flooded that arena. The reasoning for the pick was sound. The execution on their end was not.U.P.

Re: Bear Down Wildcats - Bracket Challange
So did I enter my brackets into the wrong pool?
I saw two, the BearDownArizona and Mark Schlabach Memorial. Guess I picked the wrong one? Typical…

I haven't gotten one Thursday game right! Maybe just Gonzaga.

Re: Bear Down Wildcats - Bracket Challange
I want to know who picked Tennessee to win it all. I can sort of understand the few people that picked Gonzaga, but Tennessee?! There is no way we were going to lose to them a second time had they survived.
