I'll take a L, Last pick is Morehead State

GirlySports · 03-18-2009, 11:54 AM

I'll take Morgan State!

Well, since there's less than 24 hours before the tournament starts, I'm going to say that anyone who has picks remaining (I think there's three of you with one pick each) can go ahead and make your final picks.

GirlySports · 03-18-2009, 05:47 PM

Woooohooo!

I'll take Chattanooga!

Displaced Flames fan · 03-18-2009, 06:42 PM

There can only be one! The Radford University Highlanders just might be the first 16 seed to win in the tourney.

StrayBullet · 03-18-2009, 07:45 PM

Who's left? I guess I take the last one, huh?

I believe it is East Tennessee State. You have to post the logo though.

octothorp · 03-18-2009, 09:17 PM

Yup, East Tennesse State is your lucky #64.

Alright, stylin' draft bracket is up on the first post.

GirlySports · 03-18-2009, 11:29 PM

Ha! Looks like I got the bottom of the bracket covered so I don't finish with Zero!

Great bracket. It's so colourful!

StrayBullet · 03-19-2009, 07:51 AM

Screw you, Pittsburgh!

HalifaxDrunk · 03-19-2009, 01:12 PM

Hmm, first 3 games done and 2 of my teams are gone with one moving on.

In - Texas A&M
Out - Butler & CSU Northridge

You know what's funny? I said picking Mississipp State was a no brainer on the second go around. Well, I must've meant it literally because what kind of idiot takes a team that's playing another team of his in the first round that he has going to the Final Four in both of his brackets this year?? An idiot that didn't bother to look at the bracket before coming back to make these two selections!

What a maroon!!

Yeah, I think if we had finished the draft a couple days earlier, there would have been a chance for people to trade around and strategically either load up in a portion of the bracket to guarantee getting someone through to the late rounds, or spread yourself out to make sure that your teams aren't matched up against one another. People can still make such trades, of course.
I'm very happy with the Terps getting through. When I drafted them, they were still a bubble long-shot, so at this point anything I get from them is gravy. Annoyingly though, I didn't pick them to get out of the first round over on my yahoo bracket...

octothorp · 03-21-2009, 10:36 AM

First round results now posted! Itcrossedtheline leads, with Drew24 in second.

I had a brutal first round, with a 4, 5, 7, 10, and 14 seed all losing (and my 1 seed Pittsburg not looking particularly final-four worthy).

itcrossedtheline · 03-21-2009, 12:56 PM

anyone interested in trading picks...i have duke playing texas today and would like to make a deal

your choice...let me know - Duke/texas play at 6pm

octothorp · 03-23-2009, 09:20 AM

I still need to update the graphic for the current round, but it looks like everyone has exactly two teams left.

Wow that's amazing that everyone has two teams left.

My remaining two teams Oklahoma and Syracuse play each other next!

I want to see if by the Elite Eight everyone has 1 team left

HalifaxDrunk · 03-23-2009, 01:27 PM

Louisville and Michigan State will have to at least face off before the Elite Eight so I can't have more than 1 team in it.

Actually, Michigan State and Louisville face off in the Elite Eight, so you could very possibly have two teams in that round. I'd even say you've got the best shot out of anyone of having two teams make it to that round.

Still, you can trade with someone who's in a similar position if you want to give yourself a chance of having two teams in the final 4.

drew24 · 03-23-2009, 03:49 PM

I'm not really looking to trade UNC... But... Arizona is on the block.
