Okay, the conference tournaments aren't done yet, of course, so someone can hijack this thread when the brackets are set and the pools start up, but day-um! Did anyone see UCONN's 3/4 court shot with .8 seconds left on the clock to send the game into it's 4TH overtime against Cincinnati!. And the Huskies won! They won today, too, against conference leader Temple. Woo-hoo. They kind of stunk all year, so now's a good time to start playing like a team.
There's a video of it on ESPN's website, but I didn't see an option to share the video, so I didn't put a link.

I've seen some games, and some damn crazy outcomes. That UConn game was nuts, but the one I saw that was a nail-biter was Oklahoma and West Virginia. Last-second three by Hield is called back at the buzzer and gives WVA the win. Crazy game. I've restarted our annual Tourney Pool over at ESPN if anyone wants to get in. I'm perfectly happy if someone else wants to do it or set us up somewhere else. I'll throw my brackets in as usual! A couple of MST3K episodes to the winner, as is tradition. Everyone is invited, doesn't matter if you know jack about college hoops. Just fill it out and have fun. You know everybody is doing it

Well, I filled one out again this year. If anyone else enters I might do another one if I have time. Let's get some more entries!

I'm in.
I haven't been paying even a little attention this season, so I have no idea why I picked who I picked.
Should be fun!

We all know Mr. Atari is going to win, just like he does every year.

One school that I attended and the school that my son is currently attending are both in the madness. It's very unlikely but they could meet in the final four. My son's school is a number one seed and mine is a number nine seed in different brackets.

OK, we're down to less than an hour until tip off. If anyone is wanting to get in, now is the time! We're up to four big participants!

How 'bout them Bull Dogs? First time since '62 that Yale was in the tournament, and this was their very first tournament win. Exciting end to their game with Baylor. And UCONN won their first game, also.
Two Connecticut teams moving on. Woot!

Good news: I only lost 6 games in the 1st round.
Bad news: I lost 2 of my Final Four.

Well, the first two rounds are done and there were some darn good games over the weekend. Wisconsin finished it off with a hell of a shot last night. Good stuff. I'm somehow not in last place, but I'm guessing everybody got hurt by Michigan State

We all had Kansas over Michigan State in the Finals, so we were all pretty much hurt equally. Unfortunately, I didn't pick Wisconsin this year, but I'm pulling for them.

Well, I thought somebody pointed it out already but I must be dreaming. It looks like this thing is over already, and it appears sol-survivor managed to tie with Mr. Atari! I can't remember the last time this pool ended so soon, much less with a tie. I had my moments, but once Indiana was out the tournament was essentially dead to me. Live and die with that team. They take years off my life every time I watch them play Congrats, sol-survivor and, yes, Mr. Atari! Sky has graciously agreed to provide a couple eps for the winner, so check in with him about arrangements. And a thanks all-around to Sky for being a sport and helping keep the annual pool fun! And someone finish off Syracuse. Can't stand them or their zone nonsense. Thanks for participating, all. It's a long year but maybe we can get even more people in next time! EDIT: Just a double-check - if any participants want to take another look at the final order, I'm trying to figure out if it's actually a tie or if sol-survivor won by tiebreaker. The percentages are the same, and they're both ranked first. The asterisk indicates that a tiebreaker was used, which to me would indicate sol-survivor one, since her name is listed first in the finishing order. Any thoughts from anyone?
