OUHoops/ESPN Tournament Bracket Challenge

[CMSOONER]

I believe LVille as a 4 wouldn't play ND until the E8.

I thought it was 16? I think I have ND losing to KU in the Elite 8, but I don't have a bracket in front of me so I my be mistaken. I've flip flopped a bunch on my picks.

You're right I'm confusing LVille with Purdue. Doh!

 

[Edmond_Sooner]

I'm in

 

[StoopsBros]

Purdue lost a key role player today - Kelsey Barlow - who was kicked off the team. He only averaged 5 ppg but played 20 minutes per.

 

[NickZepp]

Okay I was convinced by a friend to change my UConn going down in the first round pick. I still think they lose in the second round to Missouri. I think I'm still sticking with Purdue going deep, but I may be convinced to change it to ND by tomorrow. Also changed some picks in the 7-10 games. Which are basically toss ups anyway. I'm thinking about going with Buzz Williams and Marquette also. I'll definitely watch that game just to scout a potential OU coach.

Gus Johnson is also announcing Marquette-Xavier...that is one of my most anticipated games.

 

[Sooner_In_MI]

Thinking about picking Texas to win it all, which probably means I'm wayyy overthinking it.

 

[goodolesooner]

Very tough bracket. I'm sure I'll be done after the second round.

 

[ousooners1baby]

Well, thank you Morehead State!

 

[boksooner]

From espn: "After just 4 games, there are only 45,413 perfect brackets remaining out of 5.9 million entered in Tournament Challenge."

 

[NickZepp]

If Lville won I would be perfect so far. But Vandy is gonna hurt that. Princeton may hurt that too.

 

[red recluse]

according to history, the person who is going to win the ouhoops contest is someone who never posts. it's the message board equivalent of the blond in your office who only watches reality shows and wins because she picks the teams based on how cute their best player is.

I would also like to congratulate thebigabd, Sam, NickZepp, Edmond_Sooner, & Jbaker for their performances as well.

Just having a little fun guys, it was a tough year for all of us.

Very tough year for me...

After winning my office pool last year, I placed 95 out of 96 in it this year.

 

[DenverSooner]

I read a story on yahoo that said only one person got the entire final four correct out of 9,000,000+ entries. I think it said 90% of the people did not have single final four team correct but I may remember that wrong.

The person who got the final four correct was a librarian that based her pool on cats and dogs (also the numbers 7 and 11).
