Correction - Mizzou isn’t in my Final Four, Michigan State is. Carry on. 😃 ---

I would _LOVE_ to see them upset Mizzou but I couldn’t go that far on my bracket. I really do think they can (and probably will) take out Marquette, though. Dammit, this is basically my bracket, except I have Mizzou in the finals and UNC winning. I don’t have KY going further as a hedge in case they get upset by UConn/Duke/somebody else (but at the same time nobody else in that region was a clear final 4 contender). ---

I’m in. Got a feeling about Missouri. ---

Mine’s pretty chalky from the Sweet Sixteen on. I’ve got UK, MSU, OSU, and UNC, with Sparty beating the Tar Heels for the championship. ---

8 out of 8! Still batting 100%! But so are 8 others in our pool. ---

9/9 here, but no surprises yet. Eight favorites won and there was one coin flip (8 K-State vs 9 Southern Miss), although I was about as confident in K-State as you could be in an 8-seed. And within the edit window, the Wichita St./VCU game comes in, and I pick up the 12-seed upset. Feels good man. ---

Missouri has trashed my bracket, but it was worth it. ---

Sympathies to those who put Missouri into the Elite 8 or higher. 🙂 Still 2 perfect brackets left at ESPN! ---

I still feel I made the correct picks. It is simply that the _teams_ didn’t follow through. ---

Well that was fun gentlemen. Can’t believe the egg the Spartans laid last night. Doesn’t help that I can’t stand Louisville either. Can’t believe that I’m still fourth for the time being either. 🙂 ---

Yeah, with Michigan State and Wisconsin both going down, I’m hosed. I’ve only got one Final Four team left in my bracket. Go Baylor! ---

Shoeless really took it on the nose. I didn’t do much better, ending up in the 40th percentile on both ESPN and Yahoo. Heck of a bracket Paul. ---

Yeah, that’s typical for me. Day 1 of the tournament, I usually have 14 or 15 correct picks out of 16. Second day, I usually hit about 7 or 8. After that it all falls apart pretty quick! 😃 It figures that the one year I don’t pick Kansas in the Final Four is the year they make it to the Championship. I guess if I want my team to be successful I have to pick them to go out early. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-march-madness-tourney-pool-on-yahoo/615460.md?page=1)
