Didn't Ovechkin have Norfolk State in his Elite 8?

YES...

Washington Capitals' Alex Ovechkin’s NCAA tournament bracket:
1) He signed the bracket “OVI8” at the top.
2) He picked Alabama, (who already lost to Creighton), to advance to the title game, against Kentucky.
3) His elite eight includes Kentucky, Duke, St. Louis, Norfolk State, Syracuse, West Virginia, Alabama and Georgetown.
4) He decided filling out a bracket was more of a dot-to-dot style arrow-filled maze game, rather than a fill-in-the-blank quiz.

I added Alex Ovechkin's bracket to the WNFF March Madness Bracket contest.

He is currently in first place.
He got 23 correct of the first 32 games. Since we're using Add Seed, he has 259 points. But the most he can get correct is only 44.

3 of the elite 8 on that sheet are already out.

There is a MLB Big League Bracket Challenge, with one player from each team submitting one.

Ryan Zimmerman represents the Nationals, so I added his bracket to the WNFF March Madness contest. He's has Kentucky as champion, and is currently in 6th place in our league. Zim-with-1-N's Bracket:

Georgetown is going to lose yesterday, easy pick.

spidernat · « **Reply #130:** March 17, 2012, 05:07:40 PM »

Gonzaga failing short again. They always play the big boys tough but have a difficult time getting past them.

This Marquette Murray St game is super entertaining.

Seriously, watch this game if you aren't already.

spidernat · « **Reply #133:** March 17, 2012, 07:11:35 PM »

The pace of the game is awesome.

Interesting call on the flagrant foul on Indiana. By rule it is correct. But it was so slight it wasn't noticeable.

spidernat · « **Reply #135:** March 17, 2012, 08:29:33 PM »

They should've called an obvious foul on Wisconsin on the 3 point shot that would've given Vandy a chance to tie with 2 seconds left. While being in the 2-3 zone helped Vandy limit the shot opportunities of Indiana in the final possessions it also hampered them from being in position to rebound and that was costly.

Wow, Indiana has 18 turnovers .... so far.

spidernat · « **Reply #137:** March 17, 2012, 08:46:50 PM »

VCU is a savvy team. They are dictating pace.

Indiana looks confused with the pace. That helped 'em.

mitlen · « **Reply #139:** March 17, 2012, 09:10:40 PM »

Brandenburg (sp) is killin' VCU. I see Smart took him out.

mitlen · « **Reply #140:** March 17, 2012, 09:16:25 PM »

VCU just can't hold a lead.

spidernat · « **Reply #141:** March 17, 2012, 09:19:30 PM »

Burgess choked at the free throw line.

Why do teams go for the win, ALL THE TIME? They never take the easier shot and go for overtime.

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #144:** March 17, 2012, 09:21:30 PM »

Had the wide open look. Can't ask for anything more than that.

mitlen · « **Reply #145:** March 17, 2012, 09:31:11 PM »

Norfolk State is all the Commonwealth has left. Go Spartans !!!

Georgetown only lost in the mind of Seth Davis.
