I like to pick against my team, if they win, I'm happy, if they lose, at least I got the pick right

Ha, I make picks based on who I think might win, BUT, I love pulling for the underdogs!. I should always pick the lower seed, because let Butler several years ago make a run, or George Mason more recently, and I am a FAN

I'm telling ya, you can't bet against your team. It's bad juju and Florida is going to need all the help they can get when they come up against Baylor in the elite 8I like to pick against my team, if they win, I'm happy, if they lose, at least I got the pick right

I'm an underdog guy too. If I don't have a dog in the fight I always pull for the lower seed.

That sounds familiar. My two oldest grandsons in Chapel Hill have run into various UNC players at supermarket, mall, etc. Last year they got Marcus Paige autograph on a couple of occasions. When he made that crazy 3 at what we thought was the end of last years games, they went nuts. And then, and then.....well you know

Maybe I should redo my bracket and let them go a little farther.

Very cool the kids got to meet them. I think UNC will hang around awhile if not win the whole dang thing.

KY is looking better and do not depend on 3's all the time. Malik and Fox can get to the basket. That is why I have them taking out UNC at this point. I may reconsider.
The contest I am in is called "Cousin's Bracket". All my grandkids are in it, along with my kids and their spouses. Here are some of the players

We do the same thing in my family. I make all of the kids fill out a bracket. My son went and bought a trophy for the competition so now the bracket winner will get their name on the trophy to be displayed proudly in my house for everyone to see. As you can tell my family is ate up with sports. Being a coach for 16 years may have dictated this I am guessing.

That's about what I looked like after the OSU/Michigan game. However, we played a good game but when a team hits 70% of their 3 pointers in the 2nd half they are going to be hard to beat.So far, this is what my bracket looks like

My bracket is hanging in there so far. If I make it through the weekend with all final 4 teams left I feel like it's a success. There has been some great games so far and I would imagine that will ramp up over the weekend!

Amazing run by the hogs to make this thing a game still. NC looks like a championship team though. They've got height and can run up and down the court. WPS!

Two MAJOR no calls helped UNC greatly. (1) the ark guy was filed on the controversial three at shot clock (2) UNC guard either filed or walked on the other end.

Shame to end it like that too after it looked like they'd make it a blowout at first. Still this was the best basketball team we've had in some time.
