Couldn’t find one using search… seems we should have one.
Now starts the best month of television sports: the NCAA tournament followed by The Masters.
I made my very first significant bet in Las Vegas this past Fall. I put $100 on MY Indiana Hoosiers (!!) to win it all at 33 to 1 odds. Indiana is a team that can beat anyone (Tator, I’m looking at you, Boiler fan boy) and Indiana is a team that can lose to anyone. Depends on which team shows up.
I will have sentimental bracket that features IU paying out on my bet… and a realistic one that has Arizona winning it all.This message has been edited. Last edited by: mttaylor1066,

Agreed. Different Cats though.
As usual, I'll be rooting for the Zags to win it all. Maybe this year.

Great already the first 4 games were actually pretty decent, well, except one blowout.
My dad played for SEMO in the late 50's so he really liked seeing them on the court, shame they lost that game.
Go Big Blue - That's Kentucky Blue- Go Cats.
We are only as good as the mentality of the kids that show up that day, if Cal goes out in the first round he might want to stay in Nashville for a while.

This is the only sports event I care about. I'm a UK fan, but don't watch more that a few games a year. But I'll watch the tournament.

Montana State Bobcats. They're a #14 seed, so as usual, the Big Sky seed will likely lose in the first round against a #3. Still have to root for them though. Then it's all Gonzaga.

I typically don't watch current basketball but the tournament is fun to watch. Seeing those kids put it all on the line in each game because it's one and done is awesome.
I don't have a favorite team but I always root for the upset.

I filled out a Yahoo bracket... Anyone else?
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Me and you OP! Loving the Hoosiers rebirth and I've got a sentimental Yahoo bracket with them going all the way.
After IU, I support Purdue and if they are out I don't care long as it's anybody but Duke.
Yeah chellim1 I've filled out 3 Yahoo brackets

Probably too late now... but we could have made a Sigforum group.

Done! Click the link to join, it's open to everyone.
You can make and change your picks as often as you like, but your final bracket must be submitted by tip-off of the first game on Thursday, Mar 16.

Just did mine. It says you have until 10:15MDT.
The rest of you guys shouldn't bother though. That $25K is as good as mine.

That was easy! Thx. If we get a dozen or more that would be fun.

I'm going with local favorites Gonzaga in the NCAA and the E.Washington Eagles in the NIT.

Furman just beat 4 seed Virginia 68-67. I guess that'll wreck more than a few brackets.

No Doubt, I almost took Furman, VA has been struggling with scoring, they play slow down ball in order to win. IF there wasn't a shot clock VA would play 4 corners...

Yeah, but we both made that mistake. At least Mizzou won!
