How did VCU ever manage to lose 4 of their last 5 conference games? They destroyed my Boilermakers, Georgetown and USC. I will now cry in my beer and say next year!

I have 1 of my final four teams left alive...

God I hate Duke. Then again, who doesn't? Michigan rallied late only to lose by 2 stupid points. I am very bitter about that...

Wonder how many people's brackets got screwed up because of Purdue and Texas?

I had Purdue in the Final Four. And Syracuse. And Pitt.

I had Purdue to the final game (heart it seems won out over logic). The balance of my Final Four ... OSU, Wisconsin and Duke are alive. Should be some great Sweet Sixteen matchups. VCU vs. Florida State; Butler vs. Wisconsin; and Marquette v. UNC - games that seemed unlikely at the outset, but now seem must watch.

March Madness, you gotta love it! 

Avatar of 1pawndown

Beware the BUTLER ... wow did they destroy a strong Wisconsin team last night. I would never thought I'd be looking forward to a  Sweet 16 match up of Florida State and VCU, but they have proven to be great tournament teams. How was Charles Barkley able to predict Arizona over Duke even when Duke was up at the half? Love or hate him, Sir Charles knows his hoops.

Ohio State is out. Virginia Commonwealth is in the Elite 8. Madness!

Avatar of 1pawndown

My whole Final Four - OSU, Purdue, Wisconsin and Duke are out! I can nor remember a year like this. So many games down to the wire too. Florida State v. VCU was incredible.

Avatar of 1pawndown

The BUTLER did it again. Down 11 they pull off a dramatic overtime win. UConn survives 2 last second shots by Arizona to win a classic. WOW, what a tournament. Today we get to see if Cinderalla VCU can dance all the wat to the Final Four. My brackets and alma mater are history, but this is fantastic basketball!

Avatar of kevinjin

My best bracket had Uconn, UNC, Butler, and Kansas in Final4. so far, np

Avatar of 1pawndown

Cinderella can dance! BUTLER vs. VCU in the Final Four. All #1 seeds are gone: Kansas, OSU, Duke and Pitt. What a year!!

Avatar of chessdude46

Horrible year for brackets though

Avatar of 1pawndown

How could anyone have predicted VCU. I understand they lost 4 of their last 5 conference games. Now they are a beast! The Butler match up should be interesting. Butler is polished and adept at playing the opponent's style. VCU is fast, athletic and relentless. I could not begin to predict what will happen.

Hats off to Niven42, who's in the lead and is the only one of us who can get more points (has UConn and Butler in final 4 -- how did he do that?). 

(as for me, I started slow and went down from there. Hard to believe I get paid to teach forecasting Embarassed)
