March Madness CP Pickem Bracket

[rubecube]

Kansas looked dominant today.

[OilersBaby]

Yes they did look dominant..but UK didn't play as well as they usually do. Jasper choked as did Jody Meeks. Jasper got 0 pts. Meeks will be the best player in a couple of years though.

My husband (who is from Kentucky and went to UK) is sad...Poor him. I'd at least accepted the fact that the Oilers were going nowhere this season and now I'm happy to see em lose and get a good draft pick. However, he thought UK would actually stand a chance against KU since they're a great comeback team.

Best Kansas team since the senior year of Heinrich and Collison. If Wayne Simien hadn't been hurt that year I really think they would've won the whole thing.

They just might this year.

SIU will be TOUGH for them though. If the Salukis can slow the game down and make KU play SIU basketball they have a good shot.

Not a single senior on that Jayhawk team playing significant minutes.

I had USC out in round 1 and Texas in the championship game.

I'm toast.

That's my final as well. I'm pretty much out of it at this point, the only way I have a chance is if Texas A&M makes it to the Final Four like I picked. Even then, I'm not sure if I'll have enough points to win.

Hibbert just took that game over yesterday down the stretch. He's improved a great deal since last year...and of course so has the team.

At least you didn't have Arkansas as a Cinderella team.

I don't know much about CBB, but I saw the Kansas game today, and compared to the Wisconsin/UNLV game, they are miles ahead. They move the ball better, they challenge defenders at the right time, they are big AND fast and take away lanes on D way faster than anyone in the first game.

Great fans too, they travel well.

Looks like the right answer is to not have a cinderella team. Go Bucks!!

Unless it's UNLV.

[Slava]

I picked the Jayhawks to win it all, and I guess in that regard I'm feeling pretty comfortable....unfortunately I thought that Texas was going to the Final Four. I just hope that Kansas comes through and that Ohio holds it together a little longer!

[KTown]

I'm sitting in 11th right now, and I still got 7 of 8 in the elite 8 and all 4 for the final 4. I still got time to catch up.

I thought long and hard about picking UNLV over Oregon in the Sweet 16 but I ended up deciding Oregon was too good. It will be interesting to see if I was correct on that one, Oregon definitely looked like the stronger team to me today.

[icarus]

Well I had the Badgers winning the whole thing, looks like my bracket is shot.

[FlamesFanInEdm]

wow good day for me, moved into a tie for 1st! still got 7/8 left and all my final four. Memphis, my winner, has looked good too.

The problem I have with Memphis winning the whole thing is there next game is in San Antonio, San Antonio is Texas A&M country. I have Memphis going to the elite 8. However now that I see this game I'm concerned and think they won't make it past there next game.

Yeah, I've got the same concern about my pick of Memphis going to the final four. I didn't think Texas A&M would get by Louisville, given that it was pretty much a home-court advantage for Louisville, but now they present a big challenge for Memphis. And if Douglas-Roberts isn't back for the game, Memphis is in even deeper water.

well, here we go for week 2 and rounds 3 &4 of the tourney...hopefully i can keep some teams at least to the elite eight, i'm already struggling! oh well.
