Holy crap.

Nine consecutive years in the Sweet Sixteen, and this year they get knocked out in the first round!!
 
My bracket is shot all to hell this year. My pick to win is still looking good though!!

Ummm...because of Duke? They had no chance to get deep this year. Why this is a shock to some people...i don't know.
 
Yeah I hope you guys didn't have IL or Duke going anywhere because both teams suck ass.
 
While i wish they won its not too devestating to me. I had them eliminated in round two.

What are predictions to win?

I chose UCLA, Florida, Georgetown, and Ohio State with UCLA to win.

Ha ha ha, no. I did have them going to the second round though. But I had BYU and Arizona (should have known better) winning. I also had Indiana choking against Gonzaga eventhough I'm from Indiana. They play so well at home but are too inconsistent on the road. Oh well. Blah.
 
GOnzaga is one of the best mid major schools the last several years. Definitely miss Morrison though.

Yep, they are potential giant slayers just about every year. Oh well, I'm happy that Indiana made it to the second round.....against UCLA.
 
As bad as the big ten has been made out to be, they actually had several of their teams move on. IL should have been one of them as well and choked.

Yeah, I had Illinois getting knocked off but I was secretly rooting for them. They could have won their game too. The Big Ten is underestimated. Look at how Michigan State beat Marquette (overrated). And Illinois put up a good fight for a 12 vs 5.
 
Oh, and Michigan State is probably a better team the Indiana and Wisconsin. I don't think they will go down easily to UNC.
 
Yeah but you know that IL is better then a 12. Not a 'typical' 12 seed. But they showed why they were one of the last at large teams to be selected.

Yeah, it is too bad that they were a 12 seed.
 
The game didn't entirely screw up my brackets...GA Tech did that for me...but I was looking forward to a Pitt/Duke matchup, woulda been fun just for the novelty of it. As it is, VCA scares me tonight 'cuz Pitt sucks against full and half-court press.
 
Dammit, I have UCLA winning on my bracket but Indiana put up such a good fight. Oh well. Next year will be better.

And there is still one guy on the ESPN Tourney Challenge that has predicted every single game right up to this point. WTF!!
