Official March Madness Thread

I figured it was only natural for a poker site to have a thread on, America's biggest office pool event, March Madness!!

So this is for all the gossip, as March Madness is always an exciting time!

Especially since we can bet 5 point ties, which left us when the NBA came to Canada.


My first question of this thread is:

Can Wisconsin beat Florida in the Midwest Bracket?

I want to see Wisconsin take this - but Florida may prevent them from making the Final 4??

Any input would be greatly appreciated before 11am!

  • Oh and of course,

    Who will be this year's Cinderella Team??

    I have Creighton, Butler and S Illonois to make to round 2 - but it is tough to decide if any team will have a run like George Mason.

    I will put my backing on Creighton - but not sure if I will put my money where my mouth is in the pool....

    I know JohnnieH wants Gonzaga - but I think he just likes saying the word :)
  • Wis beat Fla - yes

    cinderella - Pitt, but maybe #3 doesn't qualify. I'm a wimp.

    Btw the standings will be posted in my thread, so might as well discuss anything there.
  • OK - Moose, I realized that as soon as I started this one...

    But I wasnt sure if yours would be specific to the pool.

    I like I said, I'm an NCAA fish.

    How about Duke getting upset!? Who had that?
  • Wisconsin will not win because they lost their big guy in the ohio state game earlier this year, if they had him yes, but without....

    Mike

    Duke lost so my tourney is complete
  • Well - sometimes you have to stick by your team...

    To late to change now...

    And in March Madness anything is possible.
  • Duke was the only game I lost yesterday :(
  • You shoulda known Duke was gonna 1-out it given the way they played all year...

    of course, this is coming fropm a guy who took Old dominion when they got blown out 60-29 at one point :-)
  • This Georgia Tech - UNLV game is killing me 2 mintues left!!

    That last second basket saved you Tom!
  • Well lost the bracket - but got the tie for Proline at the buzzer!
  • look out Wisconsin down 18 in the first half..... SHOCKER

  • Yeah - but what was the final result?
  • 15 Tex. A&M-Corp. Chris. 63
    2 Wisconsin 76
  • Xavier by 6 with 9 mins to go...
  • how clutch was that shot? What was the coach thinking not having a couple of people trying to rebound on the free throw. Unreal
  • I'm surprised they didn't foul before he had a chance to shoot the 3.
  • Went 24 for 32 in round one and went 14 for 16 in the second round, too bad i'm a panzy and didn't put any money down on any pools, just free ones :(
