Post by: TomW1365 on March 18, 2013, 02:09:10 PM
Preseason Hiroshima to Post season Sweet Sixteen-a!

Let's see how everyone's picks stack up against each other.

2nd reminder. 
With all the know it all(s) on this board, I'm surprised we only have 13 guys signed up.  Who's got the balls to put Marquette through to the Final 4?!?

You're all going down. 

As an aside, try the WSJ's blind bracket.  I had a lot of fun making my picks with the bias out of the way.  I wish they had provided a tad more statistical information, though:  http://projects.wsj.com/blindfold-brackets-2013/

This is a really cool way to do the brackets... although it will take a lot longer than normal to fill out the bracket.  I'm going to use this against my friends.

I'll register later today or tomorrow. I've got Marquette going further than that.

When I read the topic, I thought the updates for the MU Prediction contest were up.

I remember that from last year .. damnit, I did it, and Indiana wins the NC, so I must have picked wrong.   >:(

Guessing this is us.

"Had success in power conference without any big names, led by bright, young coach; can't shoot threes."

Experience: 4/5
Size: 2/5
Offense: 5/5
Defense: 3/5
3 pt: 1/5
Hot Streak: 3/5

I just completed this and I'm extremely surprised I actually only had to make 3 first round changes and 1 final four change (that changed my champion from Florida to Kansas).  But 3 out 4 of the same teams when picking blind was an eye opening experience... So either I am consistently bad or good. We'll see!
