gee how I hate picking Kentucky

 

[slappy in OP]

OU in the Final 4? Why not. :OUbball-logo:

Why stop there?

 

[CMSOONER]

One of my brackets actually has OU/ISU in an epic Final Four rematch. You can guess the outcome...BOOMER!

 

[WTSooner]

I learned a long time ago it's better to pick OU going out early, then to do the opposite.

If I have them making an Elite 8 and they bow out early, I'm sad both b/c my team lost and my bracket is screwed. If I have them exit relatively early, either my favorite team is making a run and that is good, or my bracket is in better shape.

There's only 6 people signed up. Am I looking at the right group?

That can't be the right group. The OUHoopsDotCom group has 70 or more signed up.

 

[greenbug]

When I type in OUHoopsDotCom it says that group doesn't exist. So I clicked on the rejoin OUHoops group from last year and it shows 6 people.

 

[greenbug]

No matching groups were found " OUHoopsDotCom"
That's what I'm getting.

 

[OUHoops]

Not sure what to say. Just went there and there's over 70 people signed up:

 

[greenbug]

Never mind. I think it's because I copied and pasted instead of typing the group name in.

Arizona over ISU for the 'ship. OU in elite 8.

 

[WTSooner]

I didn't have as much time to look things over as I normally do, but I have a lot of 1's and 2's advancing pretty far. I looked for upsets. Wanted to pick Nova to go out early, but really didn't know who they might play that could do it.

I fully expect at least 5 of the 1 and 2 seeds to make the Elite 8. KU not being one of those. Big 12 got some good draws. Most of our teams should probably play to seed, with UT having a chance to get the upset.

 

[OUHoops]

Man, I've never been more unprepared to fill out a bracket. Haven't seen one second of Villanova, Virginia, Arizona, Gonzaga. Really all I watch anymore are the Big 12 teams, a couple Kentucky games, a little of Duke/UNC. Teenaged OUHoops would be disgusted at my lack of college hoops knowledge nowadays. I'm going to blame this year's failure on my kids.

 

[DenverSooner]

Bump.

 

[WTSooner]

Looks like I was the only one that had UCLA winning that round!

Picked NCS over Nova too.

 

[OsoonerU]

Picked NCS over Nova too.

I had NC state also, didn't have UCLA though.

 

[WTSooner]

Bump.

Was on page 5. I don't want to look that far back to find it next time.
