If they hadn't missed three shots in the final 15 seconds they would have done it. Damn it. I nearly called the upset.

Not too shabby but with only really one big upset, it's not as good.

If there were 4 upsets and you went 16 - 0 I would be impressed, but picking favorites isn't too hard!

12-4 on Day One, not bad considering I had my two unlikely, shot-in-the-dark upset picks in action today(Baylor, Kentucky). My other two losses were Kent St and USC.

12-4 today as well. Kent St., Baylor, Arizona, and Temple were my losses. So pretty much every upset I picked was a loser... Baylor was the only one I had advancing past round 2, so I should be able to recover.

Better day tomorrow hopefully!

Wow I had the exact same picks as you! I wouldn't have thought USC would lose, but they did. Man I had them winning their next game too!! Eeek

I was sad when Kentucky lost cuz my husband is from there and the Wildcats are his favorite team.......

I hear ya, I also had USC in the Sweet Sixteen(lucky for me I stopped there). It could be worse though; my buddy had em going all the way to the Final Four(don't ask me why).

Pretty good start for me yesterday going 15/16 with USC screwing a perfect day....but today is my big test.

Gonzaga is whuppin up on Davidson which I find shocking...but i do have the zags winning it.

Also I have St Marys beating Miami in another upset....will see how that one works out for me. As well I have St Joes beating Oklahoma...and Siena beating Vandy (not sure what i was thinking there)

I have this as well. Actually from what I've seen from buddies' brackets and even some expert picks, the Siena upset seems to be a pretty popular pick.

Well, my Zags choked again. Remember when they were tournament darlings? Yeah, I miss those days.

Magic happened in W.Kentucky that guy will never forget this moment.

The fact that I had drake going to the elite 8 too, just hurt my chances.

I can't believe my midwest bracket is perfect. I picked K-State and Davidson for the upsets in that bracket.
