Wow, that's it, all the points for this old man.
Not a team left.
Man what a tuff year to be picking
Been on vacation all week and very little time to watch the games this year. Sure missed a great year of upsets. :blue:

Thanks aspeck for doing this

Re: NCAA Tournament Challenge

I'm down to L'ville as my only hope. My single bracket that isn't red and crossed out. :faint2:

Yeah, Louisville is all I have left, too. Interesting, even if Louisville hangs on for the championship, you still beat me on earlier points.

Re: NCAA Tournament Challenge

The brackets were interesting this year. Not the brackets so much as the low seeds showing that seeding isn't much of a science. LOL

Re: NCAA Tournament Challenge

Heard a sportscaster yesterday say that the officiating is the worst he has seen in 20 years he has been covering the tournament. Thought they were trying to give Ohio State the game yesterday in the last 5 minutes.

Re: NCAA Tournament Challenge

What I've noticed is not so much the bad calls, but the "no" calls. Letting them play is one thing, a free for all is another..... Does anyone travel anymore?

No kidding! They must not call traveling in the Big-10 games because they are the biggest offenders.

As far as no-calls are concerned, seems like some games have way too many calls. Their is just no consistency in the officiating and it must be just because the official crews are from different leagues. The guy on the radio I was mentioning says that the games with the "big time" coaches are the ones getting the calls like Pitino and Coach K. Apparently in the Duke Albany game, the Duke guys were practically throwing the guys on the floor and not getting called.

Go Florida! If they win out, I win a 48" LED TV in my other bracket.

I have Florida going to the finals. Only problem is, I didn't pick them to win....:facepalm:

Good luck, Bruce!

I'm not much of a Bball fan except for March Madness. But one of the things I've noticed is the lack of calls. I'm watching a game and calling steps and charging fouls - never hear a whistle. I keep wondering who's paying the guys in stripes?


Go Florida! Get that big screen, Bruce. That's a real prize better than the fame of winning the iboats bracket. :D

Re: NCAA Tournament Challenge

Florida looks to have lost it. Not the team I've been watching this year. Michigan has been #1 this year and they can play with anyone.
Hard to root for either one of them being a buckeye. Michigan, big ten and have niece and nephew that are gators. Maybe being off the road now we can catch up on the action. It's been a wild ride NCAA tournament.

That Louisville guy rolled over on the floor "with" the ball and no traveling? How pathetic.....

Re: NCAA Tournament Challenge

The 2nd half Duke has no defense. My bracket is shot too with the 2 games today. At this point I'm pulling for Michigan to win it all......
