In addition, if you hit all 63 games correctly, and live in the District of Columbia or 49 states not named Florida you win $5 million. If you don't hit all 63 but have the highest point total within all of yahoo, not just this particular pool and you don't live in Florida, you get 10 grand. Must be 18 years or older to be eligible for the money. | Promote this thread! |             | Texas Kelly

Reposted on: 20.3.15 1950.49 | Let me make one thing abundantly clear even though I didn't enter this pool. I don't care how many points it would cost me in any of the pools I did enter - I would not mind it at all if the Bruins of Belmont could do the impossible and topple the evil ones tonight.
EDIT: Dammit. Not only do the evil ones survive, but I get the double deuce as USC's loss kills my bracket before we're even out of the gates. *shakes head*

Reposted on: 21.3.15 0729.01 | Way to go, Kent State. 10 points in the half?!? Wow.
I would have loved to see Belmont take down Duke, oh well.
A pretty blah first day otherwise. No real upsets, but happy to see the Big Ten go 3-0 and UCLA look dominant. | djp

Reposted on: 22.3.15 1636.56 | As bad as my bracket looks now, nothing warms my heart more than seeing Dook lose and lose badly. As an added bonus, over the course of the past two games Demarcus Nelson finished off his collegiate career about as poorly as humanly possible. And to think some people think he's the best senior in the nation. Ha!

UConn and Duke ruined that whole quad of the bracket for me. I had them both in the Final Four.

Well, if I visited this forum more often, I might have battled you. I have (had?) a Final Four of Duke, Stanford, North Carolina, and Vanderbilt.
Duke is gone in Round 2. Vandy didn't make it out of Round 1. Stanford is down in OT in Round 2. Look out NC. | supersalvadoran

... Yeah, I might as well should had forgotten to make my picks. I probably would have done better if I had picked at random, my braket is so shot to pieces. Especially the West region- with the expection of my choice to win it all (UCLA), ALL of my picks are already eliminanated. | ekedolphin

Reposted on: 24.3.15 2234.40 | Maybe my deep and utter hatred for Duke taints my perspective, but I am shocked at how many people (in this pool and otherwise) are surprised that Duke is gone already. I am absolutely BAFFLED at how many people picked them to not only make it to the Sweet 16 (!) but also to the Final Four (!!) and even the title game (!!!). Did nobody watch them play this year? I mean, they were on national TV, like, twice a week.

Didn't watch a single game. Grew up cheering for Duke, and I always put them way too far in the tourney. | DrewDewce
