Not sure if this is something that's usually done on here each year, but I figured I'd start a bracket pool for anyone interested!

I heard there will be a $1000 purse for the winner coming from MUScoop LLC

Actually I was thinking rocky could just ban whoever has the least amount of points.

Nah. He'll ban the winner just so he doesn't have to pay him.
Count me in!
And since the NCAA brackets don't ask for winners of the First Four games, I'll announce that I picked Alabama St., Xavier, American, and SDSU to come out of Dayton. (And for Xavier to beat Illinois!)
Done
looking forward to an all big east "left side" of the bracket.

Although I'm not confident Creighton even gets there, I do think they're a pretty solid answer for Auburn. Kalk can limit everything Johni Broome wants to do in the paint while their guards light Auburn up from deep. It wouldn't be the first time Creighton felled the #1 team that way, but unfortunately they're also not playing in Omaha.
One last bump/reminder for anyone interested in joining the bracket pool. Link is above 👍
Mildly fun .. print a copy of your bracket, and you can have AI evaluate it ..

Bump. Fun to watch brackets of other scoopers. Looks like Kam's Last Stand has it wrapped up. Brewcity77 can take over my second place if Houston wins.
I was semi rooting for Duke in the money pool I'm in because I thought if Houston won it all someone would catch me but looked after the game and I have first locked up.
I filled out one Yahoo bracket just to enter in their $25K challenge and took Houston over Florida with just about everything the same. I'm currently in 73rd out of over 630K entries. Cannot catch some people ahead of me though so won't be winning $25K.
It was extremely difficult for me to not pick all four 1-seeds when I made my brackets, but I didn't want to be that guy, so I ultimately went with MSU beating Auburn in the E8 even though it felt wrong.
If I had kept Auburn in my F4, I would've still been first on the MUScoop pool. The highest I can get now is third place since the others in the top 3 also have the exact same remaining picks as me 😂.

Yeah in my money pool I took Tennessee over Houston, even though I thought Houston was the second most likely to win it all (behind Duke). I just couldn't pick all 1 seeds in that pool, and didn't see anyone in Auburn's, Florida's, or Duke's path that I thought would knock them out, and thought Tennessee was the best 2 seed so chose them over Houston as my non one seed. I know, ballsy picking 3 ones and a 2.

I picked Wisconsin because they had transfers that made me scared

Good strategy. Also, Gard always gets it done.
Gave some serious thought to all 1-seeds in FF, but I didn't want to be that guy either.
Lost a chance for a payout in my money pool 'cuz I just couldn't click New Mexico in round one.
Congratulations to "Kam's Last Stand" on winning the bracket pool! Not sure who that is on here, but I do know they've earned themself a cash prize equivalent to 100% of MUScoop's subscription earnings from the past year. Congrats 👏.
I'm Kam's Last Stand. Long time reader, never post. Wish it really was a cash pool :)

Maybe you'll have to post more often because, clearly, you know ball.
