i had WAKE in the championship game against PITT, now no one else has pitt to win the whole thing in that paticular bracket, so i still have a outside chance but damn that WAKE game hurt one of my brackets :burn:

actually I still have a chance to get all but one of sweet sixteen left . I had washington over purdue instead of the other way around.I got 7 out of 8 today in the sweet sixteen . The sad part is I had Cleveland St and Arizona both pulling the upset but bet Utah.
Tomorrow I have

1.Ville
2.Zona
3.Kansas
4.Michigan St
5.Uconn
6.Marquette
7.Cuse
8.Pitt

Only upset being Marq over Missouri

I got 14 of 16 sweet sixteen teams and have a chance at all eight teams in the next round.

In the elite eight I have

1. Ville
2. Michigan St
3.Uconn
4.Memphis
5.Cuse
6.UNC
7.Duke
8.Pitt

then in the final four I have

1.UNC
2.Pitt
3.Memphis
4.Michigan St.

then I have
UNC over Michigan St in the final

I would guess that Memphis will get beat by Uconn and Uconn will play UNC in the final but thats not the way it is in my bracket

What everyone else got?

Are you guys doing this on ESPN or Cbssportsline?

I have mine on ESPN

I got 14 of the 16 too. I can get 7 of the elite 8. My wife got 14 of the 16 and can get all elite 8.

I do mine through a guy at my old job. We get about 700 entries, and he updates it on his website. winner gets like 2300 bucks and they pay out to like 40-50 people. I usually win some money in it.

I only put mine in at ESPN every year to track it .I have never played in one for money except on this site.

Didnt you win a good chuck of money two years ago from your bracket and if GT would have played Florida instead of Ohio State you would have won the whole thing?

How much did you win and how much would you have won if GT played instead of OSU?

I dont really remember exactly, but I think that was in swiftys pool. I was bout to win that, and came up short. I think I won like 50 bucks for 3rd place or something like that.

I got 2 of 4 final four teams in MSU and UNC

I have UNC over MSU in the final so its still possible

On my 4th bracket, I got 3 of the final 4. Only one I missed was Pitt.

I need UNC over Uconn, that will give me 7th place in my pool at 175 bucks.

I think I get something like $30 if Uconn wins too, but im not 100% sure. Im waiting for him to update the site.

I ended up in the 99.8 percentile on ESPN

Since I had UNC of MSU in the final but before the final game I was still in the 97.8% .

Guess what I win for 99.8? ZIP ::lmao::

I came in 18th in my pool, won 90 bucks. I played 6 pools though, so I only profited 30, but Ill take it.

Remind me next year and I'll donate to the pools.

Usually my bracket ends up in the 20 percentile because I get 0 of 4 final four teams. This is the best I have ever done
