And now for something completely different ... I currently have no teams in the elite 8.

If you feel stupid, Pent, how the hell do you think I feel right about now?

Colonel Flagg · #2

Now, if Kansas, OSU and UNC win tonight, then I still have a pulse.

Colonel Flagg · #3

And UConn sucks ass.

Although Lamb certainly has established himself as the "go to" guy in the clutch.

Tadao · #4

Half serious.

Pentegarn · #5

If I remember, I'll set up a second one for that next year

WhiteRat · #6

Just make a rule that no one can pick a 16 and maybe only pick two 15s or something. It would be fun to see if it would work.

Pentegarn · #7

In any case the whole game would be decided by the end of round one

And OSU is giving me ulcers tonight

Pentegarn · #8

Fucking Kentucky

Now that all of my Final Four teams are no longer in the tournement, I will gracefully bow out of the 4th annual I-Mockery Bracket Bunch.

This year is an even bigger slap in the face than years past as I felt I did pretty damn well in the first two rounds. I honestly thought I had a shot at winning the prestigious honor of I-Mockery Basketball Prediction King (Collegiate Edition).

At least I can still cling on to my historic victory back in 2002 when my winning bracket netted me 250 big ones in a pool at my dad's work. After 9 years it still carries weight, right? Right?

Now if you'll excuse me i'll be recovering in the burn ward for the next year.

It's interesting how I'm suddenly back in the game

EDIT: Nevermind, Flagg and whoever maildude is has UNC in the Final Four too. Can't win

Rooting for the Colonel in this one because he's got a PhD and that's awesome and I don't know who maildude is

Colonel Flagg · #11

Hard to believe, Harry.

Pentegarn · #12

This is officially the worst I have ever done on the brackets.

I wasn't even being a homer when I picked OSU in the finals, I figured they would actually bother to show up for yesterday's game

Esuohlim · #13

Way to represent the Big Ten OSU

Babs · #14

Very good game between OSU and Kentucky. Diebler hit a very clutch 3 and Knight just realized how much time him and his wildcats had and hit a shot with 5.1 seconds left. Good news for Buckeyes fans, at least Sully is coming back.

jesus christ Butler

Tadao · #16

No matter what happens I'm dead last. Where's my trophy?

Colonel Flagg · #17

Butler deserves the Final Four after that victory over Florida. What a comeback.

Pentegarn · #18

I regret not realizing Butler is a lumbering Juggernaut sooner. I might have still had a horse in this game

Colonel Flagg · #19

Lumbering Juggernaut? Butler? No, my friend you were obviously thinking instead about VCU. Bitches ruined my hopes of winning this thing two years in a row.

VCU's success is entirely due to their coach. He is selling a bunch of tier 2/tier 3 talent that they are blue chippers and they are buying it and producing like blue chippers. The only person who thought VCU would do this was the VCU head coach

Does it really matter? This is the first time in history that a team that had to play itself into the tournament won even one game, let alone make the Final Four.

I don't care what he's feeding that team, I want some. Maybe it's some of that new drug, charliesheen.

Winning.

To be fair, a play in 11 seed is vastly different than a play in 16 seed. That said they still stunned everyone but the VCU coach

Yeah I thought about that. But still VCU had to win 1 more game than everyone else in the final 4, and they are the only team to upset (according to the seedings) every team they've played in the tourney. Butler was seeded 8th, and beat the 9 seed Old Dominion in Round 1.

On the other hand this is the year of the 11 seed. The Zags beat St. Johns before getting ousted, and Marquette went to the Sweet Sixteen. The only 11 seed to get beat in Round 1 was Mizzou.

Now that it's just for fun, I'm pulling for VCU to go ALL. THE. WAY.
