I'm in 1st place. JT's worst picks, but my bracket is pretty screwed thanks to UCONN and Wake. I'm 2nd in my other two pools.

I was in 42nd last I checked. I don't know what I was thinking making some of these pics other than just rushing in order to get it done in time.

Funny thing is my girlfriend can still win (t-dog in the ATOT group)
and she doesn't know anything about basketball.
She just made picks based on if she liked the teams name
or where they're from

She has Arizona going all the way

our local newspaper's sports dept. once had a female writer from another dept, who knew nothing about sports, pick football teams based on spread and also had a dog pick, it just went toward a sign. at the end of the season the dog was in first and the female writer was 2nd. the ncaa tourney is almost a crapshoot too, haha.

Please save you're dignity while it's not too late! Smart money says the Cards aren't even going to show up in St. Louis and rumor has it they've already sent the Illini a letter of congratulations! :p

Pfffft :p

We're having a pep rally at 5pm downtown. I wish I could go but my youngest daughter has a talent show at her school so I'm definitely there instead. :)


Besides, if we can beat a team that shot a record # of 3s and if Ohio St. can beat the Illini, look out UNC/Mich. St.! :D

translation: If Pitino can play a soft zone against a great 3pt shooting team, while giving up a record number of 3's, and finally pull his head out before he decides to go man-to-man, actually guarding the shooters just in the nick of time to allow his team to get back into the game, then Pitino can mis-play anyone! :)

And if a team that's won over 25 straight games can take a weak team for granted and have a let down losing by one, then the cards have a great chance to win because they might be as good as...Ohio State! uhmmm.... :p;)

Man, I should have put an entry in the ATOT bracket this year! From the look of my picks... I probably could have won :(

Oh, wait... Looks like it's not too late. My Yahoo picks weren't quite as good as my ESPN ones, but they're still decent.

Well, my Cards just came out flat and got stomped. But, I'm doing a lot better in the picks than I ever thought I would.

Wow, if UNC wins, even our tiebreaker scores are close. :p
