NCAA Mens Basketball 2008-2009 Season + Tourny

Lou vs OSU in Ohio. Yikes.

EDIT: Tyche, sorry, this is what happens to the #1 overall seeds. I've gotten quite used to it actually.

[Kyo]

Our bracket isnt easy by any means, but it isnt as ridiculous as UL's bracket.

[Olo401]

Yea order of bracket power looks to be Midwest > East > South > West

[Tyche]

Get the bracket up Byrd!

[Ryany]

I'll say that they did a good job picking the bubble teams with the monster exception of Arizona. That was one of the worst calls in recent years, but all the others seemed fine.

[Byrd]

Get the bracket up Byrd!

You read my mind. Can't make picks for 2 more hours, but it's up. I'll start a new thread for it, but it's:

hahahaah that password says it all

[Akiyama]

In.

[Olo401]

keeps tellin me bad username/pwd..

edit: nvm username needs to be capitalized ~.~ ... no that still doesn't work... oh meh need to make my own account first.

[Tyche]

You can make picks now.

[BarthelloSylph]

Love the password. Looking forward to the tournament. If we see a Final Four with all four 1s, it would be more epic than last year's IMHO.

EDIT: IN

[Kyo]

In and picks done, I took alot of risks I think.

[Tyche]

I have 6 of the elite 8 out of the big east =/ I did something similar last year...Bias ftw.

[Olo401]

It's not just you man.. I did a draft bracket w/o any reading into the matchups and ended up with 3/4 Big East teams in the Final Four. The conference is just that good and these paths give them a lot of roads.

[Tyche]

I have Louisville, West Virginia, UCONN, Missouri, Pitt, Villanova, UNC, and Syracuse in the elite 8.

[Byrd]

Random side note:

With their win over Ohio State, Purdue now has an all-time winning record against every other team in the Big 10. I wonder if there's any other major college team that can say the same thing. UNC or UCLA, maybe?

[Tyche]

LOL @ Gottlieb riding the Oklahoma State dick.

[Headspace]

I'm such a homer. But if this works out, I'm the only one with this combo in the final four/champ/winner

[octopus]

Notice all the disrespect the Big 10 got though for the most part outside of Illinois/Michigan State? I honestly feel that's well deserved.

I think that represents the Big Ten pretty well. Wisconsin and Purdue deserved better seeding, and Illinois didn't deserve what they got, but everyone else I feel they got it right.

Although with the league so balanced, I feel that the lower seeds from the Big Ten all have a good chance of being competitive in the games.

[Tyche]

Most all of the analysts had Louisville and UNC in the finals. If that happens, Barthello and I will get to have our steel cage match to the death for all of the marbles.
