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.

The tournament starts in just a couple days...don't forget to join up and get your picks in!

Also new this year is the ability to submit two brackets per person, since the group seems to be so small...so if you've always wanted to make an upset-filled bracket to see how well it will do, now you can!

Well, I'm sure that the South brackets have been messed up now that Loyola-Chicago and Buffalo won today.

Mine would be, except I have Kensucky and my Big Orange both winning in the next round, so no harm, no foul as far as I’m concerned (at least in the long run)! :P

/Mad I forgot to create a bracket in this pool for the second year in a row

I picked Loyola-Chicago, so no loss there.

Buffalo, on the other hand...

GG Virginia!

So glad I changed my bracket last minute from them winning to them losing in the Sweet Sixteen!

First #16 seed to beat a #1 seed in history.

I hear a lot of brackets being ripped apart.

Wow UMBC is the 1st 16 seed ever to beat 1 seed in men's tournament history. 136 times the 16 seed has played a 1 seed. Now their record is 1-135 (.007%)

For what it's worth, UMBC was the highest-ranked No. 16 seed in this field, No. 63 overall on the seed list.

The Retrievers are 3000:1 to win it all and a 10-point underdog against Kansas State tomorrow night. Still, anything can happen. A bettor made an $800 wager with a sports book on UMBC yesterday against Virginia and he won $16,000.

Thanks Syracuse...

My bracket was in the Top 1% on ESPN...

...and I had Tennessee, my team, winning it all.

:headbang:

Crazily enough, I’m still in the Top 2% because of the amount of points I’ve accumulated to this point, but I’m pretty much near the end of the road with what I can score.

It was nice while it lasted.

I am looking forward to that Clemson matchup. If Clemson wind it will be their first Elite 8 appearances in 38 years. I am a die-hard Clemson fan.
