2023 Pellet Fan March Madness

[Bentley]

I THINK YOU HAVE TILL THE END OF THE DAY, NOT SURE!

[Bentley]

You have till march 16th @ 9am.

[hughver]

I got partially filled out, so I'm done, too late to complete.

[Bentley]

Every year I am going to try and go a different route.  This year I went highest seeds all the way around and before it is Noon, I am screw by UVA!

[Bar-B-Lew]

I think I may have had Virginia and Arizona in the final four....hahaha

Glad I didn't have any money on my bracket

[hughver]

My Alma Mater did a lot better against Tennessee than expected, I'm sure they beat the spread.

[jdmessner]

I never got around to doing a bracket, but it probably wouldn't have done much good. Next year I am going to use  dog treats and use the dog's choices. If I were to make a pick, it would be for Purdue to go all the way.

Please post uptates, results and where people are in the standings.

[Bentley]

You will not be pleased with Purdue when you wake up in the morning.  I cant recall the last time so many top seeds got beat in the 1st 24 hours!

[Bar-B-Lew]

For some reason I am more interested in the NCAA Wrestling Championships than basketball this year.  In a historic shocker, 125 lb weight class great, Spencer Lee of Iowa, had a 58 match win streak snapped as he was attempting to be the 5th wrestler of all time to win 4 national championships when he was pinned with one second left in the semifinals by a wrestler from Purdue.

[jdmessner]

My one bold prediction and it went up in flames! It was a good year to take off. Definitely letting the dog pick next year.

I like the NCAA tournament. However it doesn't give us a true national champion. It gives us a tournament winner. If you want a true national champion only let conference champions play.

I do think they need to get rid of the conference tournaments. Why go through months of a regular season to have it all come down to a tournament that will only ĝet you banged up and injured before the big tournament? If there are divisions in a conference, sure have them play a championship game, but you don't need a tournament to do that. Make the regular season count.

Actually I do know the answer to why they hold these tournaments. It is about money and generating more $$$. This is even much more the case since legalized gambling has become so prevalent. I guess that also leads me to wonder, does that have anything to do with the increase in upsets?

I thought I had picked all #1 seeds, so I was sure that I would have Bama winning.  I some how ended up having Houston win it all, not what I wanted.  I now guarantee that Bama will win!

I watched most of the Bama game last night and I tend to agree with you.

[RobertG]

Alabama looks good.  I picked Houston to win too.  Bama will probably win now.

I started doing this in the late 80's, even took 3rd once in a Bracket that the CBOT did when we were trading commodities in early 1990's.  This is the strangest one I have ever seen. SDSU way to represent the Mountain West!
