ouch.
There is no way on this planet that anyone still has a perfect bracket.
Only picked Duke to win this first game, only picked Mizzou to win two. Not so bad. Still have 13 of my sweet 16 still intact.
There were two perfect brackets left on ESPN after Mizzou lost. I'm guessing neither of those picked Lehigh and Ohio.
I'm not going to say I picked it, but Michigan was never a good team this year. They're the kind of team I would've loved to see in the tournament. Over achieved their talent. The team in the Big Ten that could win it is Ohio State and literally nobody is talking about them.
And speaking of the Big Ten, we are a better team than Michigan St. If we faced them, I'd book tickets to NO. Murray State concerns me.
My son picked Lehigh, Ohio and Norfolk State.....and I encouraged him to reconsider. Oops.
PRN, never ever ever pick against Izzo in the tourney. Losing Dawson obviously hurts them, but they still have Izzo. Izzo could take the MUScoop all-stars to the sweet 16.
Not too bad. I have Mizzou losing in the Sweet 16 (obviously), as well as Duke and Michigan. Luckily, Elite 8 is still perfect so far...
and on the second day.......BOOM goes the brackets!!!
I was doing fine until Duke. I lost a Sweet 16 team, an Elite 8 team, a Final Four team, a National Finalist, and a National Champion all in one fell swoop.
On the plus side, the only team I had beating Marquette is now out of the tournament :)

How on earth did an educated basketball junkie such as yourself ever pick Duke to win the title? They were not very good this year.
Missed 8 so far: UNLV, WSU, SMC, Mizzou, Duke, Memphis, West Virginia, SDSU

I thought they had a pretty easy road to the Elite 8. Anticipated them winning this, then beating Xavier and UNLV before running into Kentucky. And I'm just not sold on Kentucky. They're that team that's too good to be true...I know they're the overwhelming favorite and I understand why, but I think they go down at some point. And I figured Duke, on the 20th anniversary of the Laettner shot, with legitimate size inside and a plethora of scoring guards, could be the team that did it.
Then in the Final Four, Duke over Marquette and Vanderbilt. I still don't think any of it was unfeasible, more a case of who I had them playing rather than thinking they're the best team in the country (I don't). Besides...it's K, with his record, I think they're always at least a contender.

They had size and scoring guards all right...just not any guards that were willing to pass.
I've already lost 6 of my sweet sixteen, but only 1 of my elite 8 so far.

6', 210. and black from the waist down. 8-)
As long as MU keeps winning, the only part of my bracket I care about is intact.

Ashy legs? You could stand to lose a few pounds dude. Might wanna rejoin that zumba class you took last fall.

get it right, jerkoff. :o
I've lost four sweet 16 teams (Wichita St, Duke, Mizzou, Temple) but my whole elite 8 is still intact.
I have all 1 seeds vs 3 seeds in the elite 8. Looking solid now that two of the 2 seeds are out.
