Default March Madness Draft

Draft is on!
Spoiler!




Rules:
Quote:
Draft order determined by this thing here
Draft order is snaking due to an outcry.

Asskicks are set at twelve hours, starting at midnight!

Trades welcome any time, including multiple-for-one trades. If you trade during the tournament, you lose all the points that the team has accumulated for you thus far.

After selection day, we'll throw all the teams that made the tournament selection but weren't drafted by any of us back into the draft, and you can replace your teams that didn't get selected with some that did. So, for example, if you picked a team that didn't get selected, the team is removed from your roster and next time your pick comes around, you can fill it with a team that did make the tournament.

Last year we reversed the draft order for the make-up picks. We'll do that again this year.

In the event that the draft isn't finished by the day before the tournament, we'll have a last minute 'feeding frenzy' round where you can fill out your roster without worrying about draft order.

"First 4" games won't count. Don't hesitate to pick a 12/13 seed though. You'll just have to fill out your team with a 15 or 16 seed on the Wednesday if they are eliminated in the play-in games. Same rules as last time for bubble teams. Feel free to pick Kentucky in the 5th round based on their talent even though they might not make it. Just fill out your team with a team that actually made it after Selection Sunday.

Scoring is now just 1 point for every game regardless of round.

Hope everyone is alright with me AK'ing Oz at 10. He's been online today and I PM'd him to let him know that the draft is started. I feel kinda bad doing it because of the somewhat immediate start but we really should get this thing rolling.

That's 12 hours. Oz feel free to pick whenever you see this.

I'm happy to select the Florida Gators! I'll be seeing them in Orlando in a couple of weeks!



Displaced you're up!

Got 'em in the 4th or 5th round last year and rode them all the way to the final 4. This team is better. This team is capable of winning it all.

Happy to select, the undefeated Wichita State Shockers!

I'm not sure Kansas will win it all, but they are the most talented team so I gotta pick them on that basis.

As no shocker I'm going with Cuse, though they aren't going to far without a healthy Grant as they look lost without him. And who knows if he'll be ready to.

This looks to me to be the best value pick so far. My 3rd choice overall. Nice job.

I hate them and can't believe that I am going to pick them but with the wins they have pulled off this year against some very good teams and the current run they are on I am going to go with North Carolina

Last two off the board were the last two I felt good about. I think I have to go with Michigan State here.

I'll take Iowa State. Ton of ways to beat you and Hoiberg is really smart with exploiting matchups.

That's another AK. I'll take Cincinnati. Kilpatrick is having a great year and their defense is one of the best.

I am not overly familiar with them but they have a good ranking and hopefully get a decent seed and an easy game or two:

San Diego St. Aztecs

(I don't think anyone took them but may have missed it being on my phone)
