How's Your Bracket Look, BRB?

As there's not a whole lot of news coming out of Reliant Park right now, your attention has likely turned to March Madness. How's your bracket doing as the first slate of games on Day Two wraps up? Who do you have in the Final Four? Who do you have winning it all?

Me? I'm pretty much screwed, what with two of my Elite Eight teams (Georgetown and Vanderbilt) already gone. Share and/or vent in the Comments below.

My bracket is okay despite some of these upsets

My Final 4 is in tact (Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, and West Virginia), 7 of my Elite 8 are there, but one-fourth of my Sweet 16 is done.

The tournament has been great through. Yesterday was as good an opening round as I could remember.

Holy shit

I didn’t think anyone else would have the same Final 4 as me. I’m also at 7 of elite 8 (Fuck you, Georgetown) and only 2 of my sweet 16 are done.

No shit

UTEP was my Elite 8 that missed. Yup, I thought UTEP would be in the Elite 8. /fail

HAH! I had UTEP to the Sweet 16!

The similarities are getting eerie.

I had UTEP

And UH to reach sweet 16… I think I have two schools still in my bracket..


Go Texans!

I'm currently ranked 709,157 on ESPN!

Take that, suckas. I managed to pick Murray St and Ohio, and Richmond is my only 16er that’s bowed out. I should never allow myself to pick Texas to win anything at hoops. KSU, Duke, w/ KU beating UK in the final, 82-79.

Not Ashamed To Say

I picked Wake to win last night. I question how anyone who watched the Horns over the last six weeks would think they’d beat anyone in the Tournament.

Yes, I’m bitter.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

by Tim on Mar 19, 2010 1:48 PM CDT up reply actions  

Foolish indeed

I didn’t actually think they’d win, but picked them regardless. I’m Irish, I don’t think with my brain, Tim.

Couldn't bring myself to watch the Horns

Over the last six weeks. Just pulled the covers over my eyes and hoped it would all get better. /stupid me

I am 4757392...

I had faith in the horn’s just because all their losses came in conference games… I thought, Wake, non-conference maybe they will win lol…


Go Texans!

Shambles

My bracket is in complete and total shambles. I’m ranked like 4.5million. Lost a Final Four team (Vandy) and four Sweet Sixteen teams.

Vanderbilt to DT: “Fuck your bracket.”

by DisplacedTexan on Mar 19, 2010 2:06 PM CDT reply actions  

Scoreboard

I’m ranked 4.3 million. Take that. /throws wet noodle

I'm treading water so far

But as far as brackets go, the first round is nothing. The second round is the money round.

Also I am resigned to BYU screwing me over tomorrow

Since even though they were second in Pomeroy’s ratings at keeping teams off the offensive glass, they would’ve needed 3 extra guys to keep Florida out yesterday.

doing well. Gtown hurt me but it looks like they hurt everyone else equally bad.

The amazing thing is to see people with perfect brackets left...

I know Yahoo has 3 of them…and I wonder how they came up with these picks.

by TexansDC on Mar 19, 2010 3:22 PM CDT reply actions  

With millions using the service...

It’s not THAT much of a surprise. Consider that some people go so far as to post ten to fifteen different brackets per year under different accounts. The fact is that none of those remaining perfect will be perfect when it’s all said and done. It’s never happened on Yahoo, and I seriously doubt it ever will.

But yes…

Georgetown should be BANNED!

Forever…

And I saw the Texas loss coming. Picked Wake Forest in my bracket. Was almost a no-brainer for me.

Good luck to the rest of ya’s. Baylor all the way! (We’ll see how lucky I can get :P)

by Fuzion on Mar 19, 2010 3:30 PM CDT up reply actions  

Ranked 1.3 million on Yahoo.

43rd Percentile. Better than I thought after the first day’s horrible showings. Goes to show that everyone’s feeling the pain this year.

by Fuzion on Mar 19, 2010 3:33 PM CDT up reply actions  

Middle of the Pack

Based on their performance yesterday, eventually my homer pick of Baylor to the Final Four is going to bite me in the ass.

by JimboTexan on Mar 19, 2010 3:44 PM CDT reply actions  

I got kansas cutting down the nets

But I really want Baylor to win it all!

Go bears baby!!!!

Oh an fuck dunta

by AllenOU on Mar 19, 2010 3:56 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions  

I actually am ok

Georgetown screwed me but I had them losing next game anyway.

I picked Siena who lost, but was good on Cornell Murray state wake forest.

Final four of Kentucky Kansas Baylor and k state.

The longhorns stink with so much talent, but my sooners didn’t even make a tourney, so I can’t rag on y’all at all.

Kansas should take it

by AllenOU on Mar 19, 2010 3:54 PM CDT via mobile reply actions  

big red bobcat

So I’m not the only one who had Cornell! How bout Ohio?

by mckraut on Mar 19, 2010 5:00 PM CDT via mobile reply actions  

I'm dead solid perfect

I didn’t do one ahead of time. I just make it up as the games go. Works better that way.

A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

Yes

I’m gonna submit my bracket just befoe Final Four weekend….

I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?

by Rip Jersey on Mar 19, 2010 9:45 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions  

Georgetown hurt...

I had them going to the Elite 8. My final four of Duke, Kansas, Syracuse, and Kentucky are still there. I have Kansas winning it all as does most of America I would presume…

Kentucky wins it, I'm thinking

A quiet team that can make some noise in the tournament and possibly get to the final four is....

baylor. they have one of the best frontcourts in basketball, they have a stud guard who can score at will, and their interior defense is one of the best.

Rockets>>>>>>Jazz
Texans>>>>>>>Titans
