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.

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!

Might? If anyone doesn't have the same winner they should be banned.

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?
I do much better that way...

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.

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.

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.

I think I saw that in the last few (10?) years, 11 seeds have a winning record vs 6

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.

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.

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 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.
