That last second 3 for Princeton could have been a real ball buster right off the bat. It seemed to hang in the air for hours

I got Irish in this and have them beating Zags so that would have hurt

I did in the sbr bracket! I don't know if I have one right on that.

Bing had a prediction for each matchup and it had Princeton going to the S16.

I was considering Wichita State, ha. No one used them.

Why??? You have Kentucky in the contest.

I'm not sure who would win that potential matchup.

Committee screwing both teams again, as they did a few years ago.
I felt I had to take one or the other.

March madness has been very generous to me this year, so in return here is 10% of the pool to go towards the angels in this charity.

*** teams in red are still alive

seaborneq · 03-29-17, 06:28 AM

LT is the only one with 3 teams in the final four. Everybody else is battling for second place. I've been out a long time ago.

I THINK I am still tied with Spider and need Gonzaga to beat South Carolina to clinch. If Zags lose, we will finished tied no matter what I believe.
