I could see Duke losing this game. They can't compete with uber athletic, big teams

Texas is gonna own them in the second round

Come onnnn VCU. I bought into your hype!

Unless Illinois pulls a miracle out of their asses, I'm going to finish the day 13 for 16. For my first bracket, that's not bad. So far...

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #64 on:** March 20, 2009, 01:10:36 AM »

I have WKU in the sweet 16.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #65 on:** March 20, 2009, 01:12:29 AM »

Got W Ku winning in the GAF one, which will make me perfect for first day

I'm baffled as to why I switched around my picks for EB. All 3 wrong picks involve big ten teams

Duke isn't looking good at all. About like expected. It's probably going to be another 2nd round exit when the "home" crowd is cheering for Texas on Saturday. I mean, for real. Putting Duke and North Carolina in the same arena within the state border is ruthless. It's happened before, and the Carolina fans always outnumber the Duke fans, which basically makes the "home" crowd like a road game.

You're right about the crowd but I didn't think Duke played that poorly tonight. Binghamton has some quick athletes, and other than a couple of stretches Duke handled them well. They were efficient on offense as well. Texas will be a matchup nightmare inside but there's no reason Duke can't advance. Admittedly I was hoping that Minnesota would keep up their quick 9-2 start.

Nice comeback by Villanova too unfortunately.

If AJ Abrams has another great game, I can see Duke exiting in the second round.

Although that would suck, because I have them going to the elite eight.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #68 on:** March 20, 2009, 04:28:12 AM »

Only person in the GAF bracket with 16/16. Gotta gloat while I can: tomorrow is gonna be messy

13/16 in EB

ferrarimanf355 · « **Reply #69 on:** March 20, 2009, 11:18:28 AM »

The ones I'm picking wrong don't seem to be affecting me much. Now I can only get a maximum of 189 points out of a possible 192.

Lol, someone forgot to put a national championship winner on their bracket.

I went 4/4 (on the GAF pool) this morning. I need Temple and West Virgina to win this afternoon.

4 for 4 so far today.

Is anyone seeing this ETSU/Pitt game? Fuck, we could have our first 16 seed victory. That is, if ETSU can hit a fucking basket.

etiolate · « **Reply #86 on:** March 20, 2009, 05:58:05 PM »

It's so nice to see basketball without the refs trying to enforce themselves on to the game. These ETSU traps would just lead to foul calls in the NBA to bail out Pitt.

Now I got to watch Oklahoma to see the guy the Kings will waste their #1 pick on.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #87 on:** March 20, 2009, 06:32:42 PM »

Six of eight today. Now that I think Arizona is going to lose, that should be the last problem on my first round bracket.

Kara · « **Reply #88 on:** March 20, 2009, 07:31:06 PM »

Normally I would be pissed about an Elite 8 team in my brackets going down on day 2 but I picked my brackets solely to discredit the guy that writes the Basketball-Reference blog so I think I'm OK with it. For now.

ferrarimanf355 · « **Reply #89 on:** March 20, 2009, 07:37:18 PM »

Tied for first, with the most possible points left.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #90 on:** March 20, 2009, 07:40:38 PM »

I lost two Sweet 16 so far, no Elite Eight so that might help.

I read the blog regularly but I really don't like his findings or opinions most of the time so I decided to put them to the test with the tourney this year. Except for very outrageous outcomes (e.g. Memphis being nat'l champs), my bracket is the one he put up. The LSU opening round thing was a fuck up on my part.

Bocsius · « **Reply #108 on:** March 21, 2009, 01:53:02 AM »

Wake Forest, a football school? What is the world coming to?

ACC is 3-4. One moderate upset win (Maryland over Cal in a 10-7), four upset losses (Clemson, BC, FSU, Wake). Maryland has Memphis next (so long, Terps), Duke can flame out at any time, and Carolina is one big toe away from a bus ride home.

You might be right. Football season might not be close enough.
