I don't follow NCAA Basketball at all, but I do love me some March Madness. I set up an Evilbore bracket group at Yahoo:

http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1/group/129606

Join me, and make wild guesses based on third-hand information from some dude who knows a guy who's brother plays for Northern Iowa, and they're the real deal this year. It's fun! If you don't know anything about College Basketball, it's even more fun!

Brehvolution · « **Reply #1 on:** March 16, 2009, 04:32:59 PM »

I would love to, but I've been so busy that I've hardly watched any basketball this year. It would be %100 guessing.

WOOT

Best sports time of the year imho. I haven't done my bracket research yet. Good to see Michigan back, but I'm not jumping on that bandwagon or I'll be a hypocrite. MSU on the other hand...they're getting no respect. I think they could come out of their region.

They beat UNC, admittedly without Ty Lawson, but they still fucking had Hansborough.

Toney Douglas should have been ACC POY. He's a step above in the conference.

I am calling a Lousiville upset in second round to Ohio state.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #18 on:** March 18, 2009, 05:23:13 PM »

Kind of shady they have to play that game in Dayton.

Wake Forest is my big upset team. I have them riding out to the final four. My biggest concern is their first game, Cleveland St. Something feels wrong about the matchup.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #19 on:** March 18, 2009, 05:36:57 PM »

Yeah, I'm leaning on changing Wake Forest out for Cleveland State.

Louisville, however, are my picks for winning the entire shebang. They did remarkably better in the Big East than anyone gave them credit for, considering how hardcore the conference was this year. Plus, it's hard not to side with Pitino coming off of a successful Big East Tourney during the NCAAs, a tournament he once made the championship two years in a row at Kentucky.

Ah, those were the days. UK being in the national championship three fucking years in a row. I miss that. Two out of three ain't bad either, especially since UK won the last tournament in 1998 with a team no one gave two fucks about in terms of winning the whole thing.

That is why I call for an upset. I honestly think Louisville has what it takes to win the tournament. However, a game against Ohio State in Dayton is just too much for me to pass up...can't wait to talk to my bookie (points points points).

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #21 on:** March 18, 2009, 07:43:10 PM »

Shady how?

I think the Big Ten is gonna surprise a lot of folks but I'm not picking OSU in that game. The conference is tied for the most final 4 appearances in the last ten years, and people still give them shit. smh

Akala · « **Reply #22 on:** March 18, 2009, 08:14:12 PM »

I don't follow a damn thing in basketball. I made a bracket as a control group.

If I beat anyone, it will be shameful.

I dunno, last year all the favorites won so I'm thinking it might be upset city this year.

don't copy off my bracket, i didn't follow cbb at all this year and have no clue

your best bet is to go with the favorites, but everyone will be doing that... so maybe pick 1 or 2 mid ranked teams to hit the final four, and the other 2 teams #1 seeds

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #30 on:** March 19, 2009, 12:35:11 AM »

I might change my shit again. Not feeling confident in taking Pitt to the championship game...but I really don't see any teams in their bracket who can beat them. It's odd.

etc: changed my mind on UNC...

So far so good. Memphis is looking shaky but they'll be fine. I'd love to see them lose. It'll mess up my bracket but it'll just make it easier for UConn to get to the final four

Texas A&M looking very good

Speaking of UConn, apparently Coach Calhoun is not coaching tonight, and may be out longer than this weekend with 'medical concerns.' Even though he's beated Duke's ass twice in the Final Four, I hope he hasn't had a recurrance of prostate cancer

On a whim, I switched my pick at the last moment (Zags to Zips). Looked liked it could almost happen, but Akron fell apart.

Gonzaga is extremely overrated, no way they win next round.

Congrats to you PD. Impressive record. I am 9/11 in the GAF pool. I made some silly last minute changes in my Evilbore sheet so I would have some underdogs to root for in the first weekend.

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.
