You've got about 5 minutes to get your brackets locked in!

Any last minute changes?  Make 'em now!

And yes, I'm taking UNC-W, Winthrop, and MTSU to win in the first round.  Why the hell not?

UNC-W won.  I had UVA picked.

No, they didn't - UVA won 76-71.
I had UNC-W into the Sweet 16, too, so that really hurts.

Yep. Was glancing at it too quick.  And i had uncw also.

Am i looking at the group correctly, no 2 of us picked the same team to win.

wow - you're right!

And 'Nova doesn't really count b/c even though that bracket "belongs" to me, it's just the straight favorite seedings that I put in there for us to compare against.

I picked the turtles to lose.  Turtle soup is excellent!

This is really weird.  We had 8 people enter a bracket.  Everyone picked a different winner.

Admittedly, Metal Dog picked Arizona which is the same as my picking my 14 year old deaf and blind dog - but everyone picked a different team.

There are 15 people in my office pool, and only 5 teams picked to win.

We'll see.  Who knows, maybe Duke will win it all?

None of my picks that lost yesterday are going to hurt too much, as I picked them all to lose in the second round, except for VCU, I picked them to lose in the sweet 16.

I found a reason for Mirth to care about the tournament!  Apparently Bill Murray's son is an ass't coach for Xavier.

Creighton was my biggest loss so far had them making it to the sweet 16.
