Shit, I'm in. Can't do worse than last time!

We should tag everyone again. Get all the players.

I clicked the random button and didn’t look further

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Kansas isn't even in the top 25, so I can't rely on them to be upset as a #2 this year. I don't know what I'm going to do.

Brackets are available to be filled out now go go go

I'm participating with zero knowledge of basketball. I've only heard of this because Warren Buffett insures jackpot payouts on it and he goes on about how small the chances of winning are and how the premiums are basically free money.

Which team does LeBron play for?

LeBron plays for the LA POSs

I finished my picks, wholly biased towards colleges where I know people who went there.

I do remember the guy whose shoe exploded in front of Obama. Normally I hear about the superstar college guys but I know the last two guys picked first were French professionals, and particularly in Europe that grabs the attention. Wembanyama was huge.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Something to look forward to!

 

[shortkut]

Randomizer go!

 

[Cam]

I picked Pitino to win it all. Probably not going to happen, but why not?

 

[Nae'blis]

Last year I picked my teams solely based on their logo, and that went crap. So this year I'll pray to RNJesus and let chance decide.

 

[Jon]

I threw a bunch of unknown answers out there! I picked a "sleeper" until the finals and I don't even remember which. go figure

Do we have to submit brackets before the 4 play-in games?

Nope, just before the first game in the round of 64. At least I believe so, since you don't need to pick winners of the play-in games.

sweet. I started going through the bracket and got to the UNC one and had to stop.

 

[Quagmire]

Made mine, so a huge shot in the dark, a few upsets, picked my heart with Louisville to the Elite 8, I do think Auburn is on the downward slide so there is a chance

I have paid very little attention so this will either go amazing or awful and no in between

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I went through my bracket twice.

Had Florida winning both times.

My Cinderella is Lipscomb. They make it to the sweet 16.

I think I ended up with Duke over Florida

I have 12 seed McNeese into sweet 16

I have two 8s (Louisville and Gonzaga) in the elite 8,though Louisville is severely under seeded

Have two 12s over 5 the other being UC San Diego

I'm not bothering to check, but I think I also picked UCSD to win a game. They're a solid team for sure.

 

[TD]

Sure, why not - made a bracket, yet again have zero clue but this seems like a swell distraction.

It's funny listening to people talk about college basketball and me smiling like I understand a word of it.

I don't follow college basketball. I just take the information that ESPN provides in the bracket match-ups and make guesses based on those.

I pick which school name I like better.

 

[Nae'blis]

The randomizer picked Auburn to win for me apparently.

 

[Local Hero]

I just got a notification from ESPN about this lol

I'll set my teams real quick

The only thing I know about basketball is that UConn won last year.

More than I knew.

 

[Fire Queen]

filled mine out. i don't follow college basketball as closely as i used to but that also didn't stop me from winning last time so,

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Creighton/Louisville game is on CBS, should be starting within the hour.

 

[Local Hero]

Go Creighton!

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Creighton is definitely playing better ball so far. It's nice to see that they're not leaning on one player like they did last year. Pick and roll plays are working really well.

 

[dimmerwit]

I'm currently on course for perfection!

 

[Fool's Requiem]

So, apparently only ~26% of brackets remain perfect because of the Creighton game.

Apparently.

My bracket is still perfect. Looks to continue to be perfect for a little bit based on the current games.

I don't know anything else.

I was let down by Montana.

I'm 3 out of 3 correct because I'm a basketball god

McNeese is trying to break my bracket. I've got Clemson going to the Sweet Sixteen.

Bad choices. ACC is down this year...also Clemson is not a typical BBall school.

I have Duke going far in one bracket, but not much else out of the ACC.

I also am not very fond of SEC expectations this year. 14 teams in? I don't expect most of them to do much.

I considered picking McNeese but when I looked at their results against notable opponents, Clemson looked like the better choice. Clemson beat both Duke and Kentucky this season.

Yeah you could have told me this before I picked them to win the whole thing...
