I am sitting in in the Mid 20th position on the Bracket Buster Challange.
Given the amount of red on my Bracket I am very lucky to be even that high!! Rough year for old Mslacat

You think that's bad? Try mid-40s somewhere. This has not been my best year in bracket predictions.

After looking at my bracket on Sunday evening it blew me away I was as high as a was. I think it is an issue of who who's bracket will suck less!!

Well, I imagine I just shot quite a ways up the charts! You know what they say about blind squirrels and nuts. Thanks LSU!

I was out after last weekend, but the LSU win over Duke had to hurt a few folks.

I am one of those. At least three out of four of my final four teams are out. I got that going for me...which is nice.

No update on the BN results (which unfortunately doesn't affect me), but maybe there will be an update after the late games coming up. Since I'm out- Go Zags!!

Aww, maaaaaaaaaaaan...i'm out. My bracket is just about dead. I guess there's a reason I haven't correctly picked the national champion once in the last 8 years or so.

HOLY COW. The Texas-WVU game and the Gonzaga-UCLA game are two of the best games and finishes I have seen in a while. Wow.

WOW! That was excellent and then the Gonzaga game was just sugar coating. What an amazing night of basketball.

That might be the best night of basketball I've ever seen....2 GREAT finishes, and another pretty damn good one with LSU upsetting Duke.

Washington got SCREWED tonight by the refs. I was hoping for the upset and some redemption from the 1998 regional final game.

This has been one hell of an NCAA tournament. I can't wait to see what is ahead. But my bracket is still dead.

#42 for Washington really screwed them over with the foul on the lay-up...that blond dye really messed with his brain.

I don't think the refs cost UW the game, but there were some pretty questionable calls! There also were some terrible calls against BC for a while tonight, and then it seemed like the refs switched and called everything against 'Nova.
Either way this Sweet 16 has had some amazing games! I can't wait for tomorrow.

Washington's terrible play down the stretch cost them that game, not the refs!

Yeah that didn't help. There were some bullets that UW shot through their feet.
Then again, neither did 50 or so free throw attempts to 20, a blown goaltend call and even without the call the player had his foot on the out of bounds line, a phantom call where Marcus Williams trips over his own feet and Dentmon (UW's point) is called for his 5th, 4 out of the 5 starters fouling out while not a single U Con player even sniffs foul trouble.
Of course, a double technical that results in UW's best player instantly going from 2 to 4 fouls and having to sit out 6+ minutes.
I feel like I watched the f**king Super Bowl all over again.
I guess with the darlings from Durham being eliminated, CBS had to do something so that their ratings on the east coast will be maintained.
