Who did you take to win it all?  Which upsets did you get right?  Which teams busted your brackets?  The thread to discuss all things NCAA Basketball tourney is now open for discussion.

Not including the play in games (First 4), my bracket took some hits so far from Texas Tech, Purdue, and Baylor.  Final 4 still in tact, although I pretty much went chalk as they say with ones and twos.
 
Final 4
KS
OK
NC
Mich. St.
 
With KS over Mich. St at the end.

I've done pretty ok thus far, with the exception of Purdue being gigantic asscocks.
 
Final four:
 
Kansas
Oregon
NC
Michigan St.
 
Spartans take it over the Jayhawks

I have a final four of Michigan State; Kansas; Oklahoma; and and Kentucky with MSU winning it all. 

Starting the game off losing 15 to 2 and down 6 at the half doesn't give me the warm, fuzzy feelings.

In my other bracket, I have Michigan State; Kansas; Oklahoma; and North Carolina with Kansas winning it all. 

Didn't really go out on the limb with either.  I lost Baylor and Purdue out of my Sweet Sixteen in one and Baylor in the other.  Went 13 and 3 in both brackets on day 1.

Yes...if the Spartans would kick it into high gear, it would be appreciated.

What a crazy end to the day! Two absolute heartbreakers. (Which I was on the wrong side of...)
 
Great start to the tourney.

surprised so many of you all went went chalk...

any of about 16 teams can win it this year.... there really were no teams that stood out over everyone. Perhaps but Kansas but this year won't be the first they won't win it when they had the best team and most talent.

UConn for the win in the McBracket..  it was that kind of year.

^Yeah I pretty much did a chalk outline of 1s and 2s, I did not know enough about some of those other teams to know who was good to pick that surprise team.  UConn always seem to show up at tourney time but a tall order against KS tonight.
What a wild second day!  Bracket took a big hit with Mich St. (that was a shocker), still 3 out of the final 4 remain.  With the Spartans losing, Va may have an easier road in the Midwest.  WV losing was a bit of a surprise too.
Amazingly enough, still have 14 out of the sweet 16 still alive, but that will change for sure.  The Indy / KY game looks interesting today.

Went for plenty of upsets but you have to go with a fair amount of chalk, the upsets are still the minority, I guess your bracket is still perfect micky?

LOL  oh hell no.  I missed on as many as I hit.

I said 16.. not 128 were probably capable of winning it all. 

I do have UConn beating Kansas next round and advancing out of the South. We seen this from them enough times. The last two times they made the tourny. they won it all.

I had Texas out of the West. That is shot to hell.  Oregon is WAY overseeded and thought the Pac-10 was vastly overrated (at least I got that right). OU sucks and always has and always will.  Shaka is a hell of a coach and thought if they make it to the Sweet 16 they'd go all the way to the Final 4.

Also missed big time in the East.  WVU. Thought their defense and having been battle tested in the Big 12 would see them to face and beat whoever emerged from the UNC/Kentucky/IU top half.

At least my Big12 baby is alive in the Midwest. ISU. Tough team there.. weak region there.

I'll be rooting for ya

though it could be the kiss of death. Only 1 of my Final 4 picks is still alive.  Though the McWaves might have helped against UK. I had IU moving on to the Great 8 (losing against WVU). Get past this one.. perhaps it would be on to the Final 4.

^ Yes, much better games yesterday.  Wisc and ND on buzzer beaters.

3 out of 4 still alive for the final 4.  Sweet 16 took some hits.

Even though I have NC in the final 4, I do hope Indy beats them.  Just want to see some tobacco road suffering...Evil Smile

^ I'm still not sure how A&M won! But yes...the late games saved the day for sure.

Sweet 16 action coming up...how many of my final four will survive?
