Did anyone pick Georgia? I’m (inconspicuously) streaming it at work and this is too much fun. I’ve already don’t care that I picked Xavier to make it to the Sweet 16. ---

Heh…hope Kansas winning didn’t break anyone’s bracket. 😉 I’ve got the GoBadgers bracket in the SDMB group… ---

3-0 so far. I think that’s enough of a sample size to safely assume I am going to be 63-0. That’s how statistics work, right? ---

UNLV is about to break me of my perfect record. Also, I desperately need Kentucky to catch up. ---

[QUOTE=Kid\_A] Did anyone pick Georgia? [/QUOTE] I did - after their amazing run through the SEC Tournament (and living in Georgia), I figured the karmic implications of not picking them were too much to risk. I didn’t pick them to advance any further, though. So far I’m 3 for 6 - ☹ ---

Whoo! I’m 6-7! Would have been 7-0 if I hadn’t foolishly picked Georgia over Xavier. :smack: ---

I just realized I picked all of the number 11s to advance. The good news is that I picked all of them except for K State to lose in the next round. But 5-2 so far not too bad. ---

I too picked all the #11s. I kept Kentucky and KState to the Sweet 16. Gah! ---

I’m 8/8 but I really don’t expect it to hold up. Not unless Drake and Clemson make the final 4 that is… ---

I am 8/8, but I see that did not actually pick UConn to beat Drake. I just left it blank. ---

I’m only 5/8. Worst I’ve done in recent years. My KY, ORU, and Kent St upsets have not panned out… Joe ---

Duke and USC are going to bust me badly. Elite Eight both of them. ---

Well, I do have Duke in the Elite Eight. But I also have Wisconsin over USC in the second round, so a USC loss won’t hurt me too much unless Cal State Fullerton pulls a major upset. ---

Even though I had Duke in the Elite Eight, I would have giggled maniacally if they’d gotten bounced. Talk about a close call! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ncaa-bracket-bustin/441765.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ncaa-bracket-bustin/441765.md?page=4)
