I'm currently running three brackets, and I put different things for all of them. I wish I could keep them straight.

That was pretty much what I was saying at the end of the game. Way too close, but I give Belmont credit for not be intimidated by playing Duke.

I, too, am giving Belmont a lot of credit. That was one of the best basketball games I've seen in a long time. However, I hope Duke stays spooked enough to lose Saturday

As Usual GP is her funny self? 
I still cannot understand why "The Big XII" gets screwed once again?
KU and KSU, Kansas in the same regionals and KU. beat up on Portland State, and lest we forget, KSU whipped USC! So it boils down to if they each make it to the end of the regional, they will have to play each other to move on.
I have to stick with The Jayhawks of Kansas. 
It would be great if KU and NC played for the championship as Roy Williams was KU coach for many years!
There would be a big reason for KU to win that game!

I don't think the Big 12 got screwed at all. I think that both KSU and KU got lucky to both get to play in Omaha, so close to home, so that their fans could easily travel to see them. There are six Big 12 teams in the tourney (five of which made it through the first round) so obviously there will be some doubling up of teams in a few regions. In order for KSU and KU to play each other they both need to get to the Elite Eight. Do you really think that's likely?

Yes they did, and I'm quite disappointed that they too effed up my brackets.

Point well taken, but today will be a big factor in where and who is going from all of the upsets.
God, what a wild year for the round ball teams!
GO, KU-KSU!

I'm #20! I'm #20! (But the GC bracket was my outlandish bracket anyway. )
IU completes a spectacular end-of-the-year tank job with the loss to Arkansas. I really should have picked them to go out in the first round. My heart would not let me.

Nope, no way, because for the first time since this bracket pool began, I'M #1!!! It might not for last long, but oh boy, life is sweet for the next hour or two.

My husband called me a little while ago screaming. I couldn't figre out what he was saying until I heard "Toppers" something or other. So I guessed that Western Kentucky beat Drake. Then he screamed louder- he's a western alum. I guess he can watch the games at work-- I'll have to satisfy myself with surfing greek chat! (the streaming website it blocked)

Don't worry, FR, you'll get to see it. I have no doubt that they'll be showing that last shot for the next year!
Go Toppers!

Who'd have thought both W. Kentucky and San Diego were going to make it to the 2nd round?
