I love march madness. I don't do brackets because I don't know enough about the teams and don't follow the regular season too intently. but the ncaa tournament simply has the best and most exciting basketball games of the year. every year.

These first two days are insanely fun - the whole weekend is actually. I love filling out the one sheet and entering as many pools as I can.
I never win and I often find myslef rooting against my picks so I can watch the underdogs. That BYU/Florida game was great as was the 'Nova/Robert Morris game.
I love the NCAA men's basketball tourney and it will be a great shame when they expand to 96 or whatever it they're proposing.

I have a theory that they are deliberately freaking up the hoops tourney so people quit pointing out the failures of the BCS format. |

The NCAA should want people to point out the BCS failures since it's not an NCAA event. The NCAA should want to take over D1 football's championships

BUZZERBEATER!
That's why we love March!
Also notice the student manager sporting the white socks with a suit in the Murray St. dogpile.

SEC is having a rough time so far. Didn't call ODB or Murray State, but I had ND and Vandy bowing out after the this round so not too bad an outcome

Well, Murray State just made me lose a Sweet 16 team. But at least I didn't pick Vandy to go to the Final Four. I mean who would be stupid enough to do that? (houston-nat).  |

The first four games we're decided with less than a minute left and the fifth game was close until about 2 mintes left.
I defy anyone to tell me there's a better sports venue than the first weekend of the NCAA tournament.

I don't have my bracket at home, but I'm pretty sure I had Vandy going pretty far. I had UF and ND losing in the second rounds (not a fan of either), so I'm okay there. I love march madness. I don't do brackets because I don't know enough about the teams and don't follow the regular season too intently. Honestly, you'd probably win. The "experts" never win our pools, always a woman who doesn't watch basketball or a kid. |
