NCAA Bracket Challenge - 16 left!

Posted on March 22, 2007 by Brian

After two exciting rounds last weekend the dance continues with the Sweet 16 teams tonight. We’ve got six playing along and the standings so far are :

Texas A&M and Kansas really need to win tonight to keep my bracket from going bust. But, we’ll see how it goes. Good luck to everyone!

UPDATE - 3/23 @ 9am : For my dear wife, the current leader of the pack. Here ya go.

We won’t even talk about what happened to my bracket. :-(

I would have joined in on your bracket but was too lazy to register with CBS. Instead, I’m doing a Yahoo bracket with some friends. So far, I’ve got 39 right, with 51 points - and there are three other guys ahead of me!

Seven of my eight picks for this next round are still in it (darn you, Butler!), so there’s hope for me.

Well…I’m toast! Both Texas & Texas A&M are out. So much for the longhorn state.

Good luck to the rest of you. I have lost 2 of my final 4 teams, so I’m out.

It is still fun to watch though… Go Vols!!!

Some night! UT and Texas A&M both lose by only one. Kansas eeks by SIU by three. I’d have liked to have a little different result but that’s how the ball bounces(heh heh).

JP - Next year play with us man! We might even offer prizes. 7-11 gift certificate anyone?

JLove - Don’t count yourself out yet. There’s a lot more basketball to be played.

I got up early this morning, checked the scores, and I find myself in first place! I squeaked by last night and all my teams won. The rest of my elite eight bracket is pretty messed up, though. I won’t stay in this position for long.

Too bad that Brian didn’t capture the image after the games were all tabulated last night. My short-term victory would have lived on and on in the ASF archives.

Crikey, I didn’t even do my Links N’ Junk post highlighting this. :(

So my long shot (SIU) didn’t come through for me (almost, though!). I’ve still got two teams left in the final four (FL and Memphis), but I doubt it’s enough. Everybody’s down on Memphis this year as being overrated, but we’ll see. So far, so good!

Rey - No worries man. I had almost forgot that you mentioned doing that.

Reon - Exactly! Memphis was supposed to lose to Texas A&M. I’m not sure the memo got circulated to the right people. I’ve still got 3 Final 4 teams in at the moment. UNC must win tonight though.

My Dearest Brian,
Now I know you really love me. I know you are not one for public displays of affection. Thank you! :P
