The Lazy button picked UVA - Oooops.

Sam, that's terrible! I surprised you'd admit it. Actually I did the same thing. Looks like we tie.

Not much of a Basketball fan so just clicking a button completed my destiny, I'll be OK with last place.

Anyone else notice that after day one Mrs Musky is in first place and Musky is in 6th place?

Mrs Musky is history.........

Virginia out (I r
I did it to get a quick fill and then go through it and make changes where I thought they were needed. I did make a couple kind of at the last minute but took too long deciding where to knock Virginia out (didn't really see them making the final four). Finally decided to have Arizona take them out in the sweet 16 and when I hit Submit, it was already locked. I had Loyola beating Miami but losing to Tenn so I really wouldn't have gained a whole lot.

Looks like sam's EASY button worked a little better than mine.

I put some thought into it last year and got lucky, I really don't care this year. Easy buttons must revolve.

Not sure it matters. Higher seeds are taking a thrashing in this tournament.

I had AZ taking out VA too. So it was a push... MI should have lost too.. I picked houston... It will probably come down to which one of us was the top loser....:lol:

I didn't get my picks in the allotted time period. It just saved me the embarrassment of finishing last. I would have picked Buffalo anyway. Could one have played even though they can't name a single college ball player? That'd be me. I picked Gonzaga in a pool years ago to make the final 4, because I liked the name of the University, and won. I would be hard pressed to name 6 pro ballplayers today. I could probably remember the starting 5 on each team if I thought hard when The Lakers and Celtics had that amazing rivalry way back when.

MSU lost so The Admiral is now toast.. Blame a certain ex prez 4 picking them to win it all..:lol:

 

[sam60]

We AREN'T the champions my friends.

On a better note (for me anyway) after PSU got snubbed from the big dance (presumably because their starting center missed the last couple of weeks of the season) the NIT also snubbed them in the seedlings. After beating Temple, Notre Dame, and Marquette, they are in the NIT final Four and will face Miss St next week at Madison Square Garden. NCAA champ in wrestling again this year, hockey team needs to win 2 this weekend to advance to the Frozen 4, NCAA fencing championships at Penn State this weekend ... been a good couple of weeks for Penn State!

What network is MIs game on?

What network is MIs game on?

Got FSU vs Michigan on TBS - My channel 13. :smile:

 

[WIMUSKY]

No cable. I C MI won. #11Loyola in the Final 4? That must be some kind of record?

 

[GA_Boater]

Sister Jean has an ear! LOL

Found this, it needs to updated to 4 time.

No. 11 – Impressively, three No. 11 seeds have made it all the way to the Final Four: VCU (2011), George Mason (2006) and LSU (1986).

Go Loyola-Chicago! Man they look good! Loved the interview with the coach after the game. His smile, talking about teamwork and admitting he just loved watching his boys celebrate. And 98 yo Sister Jean with her life philosophy, “Worship, Work, Win.” She is great!

Michigan is going to have to up their game a bit if they want to beat them and get to the championship game. GO BLUE.

Man we are only getting 1 game on the tube during the day, the same game on TSN (CDN ESPN) as the network coverage. Sucks. BBall isn't big enough in Canada I guess according to the execs that decide what we watch, they are dead wrong, Basketball is big, especially in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Niagara area. 80% of Canada's population lives within 2 hours of the US border. I call Canada U.S.A. 2.0.

I'm searching results for yesterday and don't see Buffalo anywhere. I thought they played Saturday. I can't find them anywhere.

I can't find the milk in the fridge either. They lost yesterday to Kentucky who I have always rooted for, had a cousin play Football there and we drove down a few times for a game. Now that would have been an upset for the ages.

 

[WIMUSKY]

I hope Loyola wins it all too.....
