I have every confidence that I will do as well here as I did in predicting the bowl games. I believe I was just about last in that.

I used to spend a lot of time looking at scores and researching it. This year, I just went with my gut on every single game ... and I have probably watched less than two hours of non-ACC basketball this year, so I have no knowledge whatsoever about non-ACC teams.

I don't think it matters - everyone knows that the team with the prettiest uniforms wins every time. Sincerely, the women who always win the office pool.

And Miami isn't even a 1-seed in the NIT ... so they weren't close to getting into the NCAAs.

ODU, CSU, Richmond, and Temple are the ones who get to gripe this year. ;)

That giant sucking sound is my bracket. I had Baylor in the Elite 8. Oops.

In my stunning performance, I'm tied for last place ahead of only someone (IP?) who apparently entered but submitted no picks. That's brilliance!

I stink too. I had indiana advancing.

My final four are still in play, but not much else.

I picked crimea over russia, with the points.

It looks like Upstate is the winner - it doesn't look like anyone has differing picks and the ability to catch him.

Pretty impressive ups.

I had Indiana winning three games and ncstate losing to ky in the championship game.

If not for those two mistakes, and about six or eight other REALLY stupid picks, I'd be right there with you.

The funny thing is, I paid virtually zero attention to college bball this year. I watched a couple of VT games (including the Pitt win), but other than that I don't think I watched any other teams play. I just kinda went with my gut (guided by the team's record & history in the tournament) when I filled in my bracket.
