Yar! Gotta love the upsets - after 1 round, I'm 4-0

Looking to be a good day for all those out there rooting against the Griz, they are getting spanked early.

Must say, I am actually a little disappointed. I had hoped the Griz would put in a good showing and give the Huskies a run. Maybe Krysko can turn things around after halftime cause they are doing much in the first half.

After watching UWM play Detroit, they both looked awful. Oh well, I have to hope for my other upsets to pull through now.

Griz have closed it down to 8 points with a couple minutes left

Never mind Washington is up 14 points now!!

Washington up 17 at the half!

It looks like Jagur is having a tough day with his bracket.

If Utah can hang on, I will have only lost one game so far (I picked Iowa over Cincy).

Ahem.. 8-0

Im scared now though, cuz the frizz hung with wash. Pacific might beat them...

EDIT: Man i love this time of year! So much bball, so little time. Dammit i have to work tomorrow...

Woohoo, 8 for 8 baby. Glad Utah survived that scare!

Congrats go out to BearBAC for being the true homer and tanking 7 points out of his bracket by picking the Griz all the way to the elite 8.

Anyone else find it strange that KMax(the guy who programmed the whole thing) is perfect so far? Someone better keep their eye on him. Maybe his bracket is programed to change or something!!??

Just kidding, good work for the three perfect brackets so far! Can't wait for the late games!

Checked the box and the Fizzlies were just like in Bozo with their free throws: 2-8 versus UW at 15-22. UW won't go much further if that's all the better they do at the line...

One of the reasons I submitted our yahoo pick'em bracket almost identical to this one, rtb. Unless of course you think I hacked that one too.

Besides, just wait and see. I have this nasty habit when I pick a bracket of doing great the first day, pretty good the second day and then watching my bracket disintigrate over the weekend games.

In my experience with these things, I too have found a negative correlation over the years between first day score and score at the end! The person who picks the champion and most final four teams wins, not the one who picks the most first round games correctly.

OK, this is getting ridiculous...I've printed out a copy of kmax's bracket to make sure he doesn't decide to change any more of his picks during games.

KMAX 100%
