NCAA Bracket Pool 2017

You know, I've been so busy that I almost forgot that this was a thing that we do. Good thing I ultimately didn't, as clearly nobody else remembered either.

Anyways, you know the drill.

Good luck...and may Syracuse ultimately make the tournament as a 10 seed so I can pick against them again and go all the way to the Final Four once more. :lol:

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

Eh, NIT is totally deserved. When you only win two games away from home all year, and lose games that you should have easily won *cough*BC*cough*St. Johns*cough*, you kinda don't deserve to go dancing. Do love how the committee trolled and made them play a school from Greensboro, though. :lol:

And 11 games in, the last couple of perfect scorers have been stopped. Yay.
