[Quailman]

Bah! I probably won't have time to make an entry. Leaving Phuket now for Bangkok. Home in a week.

Battle of the catholics, Xavier vs Notre Dame. Who does God love more?

[Trojan Horse]

As usual, I have not watched a single college basketball game this season.

As usual, I'm entering anyway.

going with a crazy all big ten final 4 yikes =o. OK Im a big homer IU not likely to upset kentuckey again but I do like the chances of 3 of 4 being big ten schools

Syracuse going to do it this year

[dethwing]

I can't see any reason not to pick Syracuse vs Kentucky final. It just seems too logical.

[Undercover Monk]

yes cause a final four last year containing Butler and VCU was very logical. Its March Madness baby the only thing you can expect is the unexpected.

Well I just lost one of my final four teams.

[edit]I just checked the group standings. At least I didn't lose my champion team.[/e]

[dethwing]

Yeah. Take THAT Lehigh. Show you to try to play with the bigboys.

In all honesty, I was torn. A 15 seed in the sweet 16 would have absolutely insane. But I couldn't root against Xavier.

Up next: Baylor. Probably end of the line, but who knows. Stranger things have happened.

[Undercover Monk]

oh if only purdue hadnt decided to give that game away last night. the midwest would have just anhillated everyone. still with IU, KU, Mich st., and 4 ohio teams the region is well represented.

Heres hoping IU can do the impossible once again and knock out the Kentuckey.

good luck to mid-major Ohio as well. I luvs me an underdog

Same thing for VCU. Gave away the game vs Indiana.

[Undercover Monk]

not really VCU was still trying to run their offense. IU got a lucky bounce at the end. Purdue deided to play run the clock instead of running a play and missed an open robbie hummel right under the basket.

Go NC State!!!!

[Quailman]

Oh, well. Go UNC!!!

[Quailman]

[Quailman]

bah!

Congratulations, mith!

[Undercover Monk]

Dang quail that was hitting a bit below the belt dont you think

Oh well thats what I get for being a homer. IU will just get better why KU will once again have to build from the ground up.

No ACC team in the final four this year Of course I hate the big east more but I will take what I can get

That's what I get for picking only three #1 seeds to make the Final Four.

The one #1 seed I didn't pick is the only one that made it.

[mith]

mikegoo could still win with a Louisville-Kansas final?

This is definitely my best bracket of the past several years entering the final four, though.

[jesternl]

I jsut realized I scored lowest in each of the 1st three rounds.. that's got to be worth a prize

[dethwing]

Every year I defined the "Ultimate loser" for a bracket to be the team with longest loss-chain to the winner of the bracket. It's the team that lost, to the team that lost, to the team that lost, to the team that lost to the winner of the group.

Your 4 "Ultimate Losers" going into the final 4 are:

Kentucky > Baylor > Xavier > Lehigh > Missouri

Ohio State > Syracuse > Wisconsin > Vanderbilt > Harvard

Kansas > UNC > Ohio > USF > Temple

Louisville > Florida > Marquette > Murray State > Colorado


The ultimate-loser for the whole thing depends on who loses in the championship game.
OSU loss --> Temple
Kansas loss --> Harvard
Louisville loss --> Missouri
Kentucky loss --> Colorado

I'm root for Missouri to be the ultimate loser.
