[Joe Biden 2020]

That explosion you just heard is a billion dollars being thrown out with yesterday's newspaper.  Dayton just upset Ohio State 60-59...  Thankfully, I had the Buckeyes losing to Syracuse in the Round of 32.

[7,052,770]

9/12 so far.  I didn't pick Dayton, and I had NC State and St. Joseph's pulling off the upsets.

Considering how those last 2 both blew big leads and lost in overtime, I'm pretty annoyed:

[DINGO Joe]

the 5-12 game is frequently upset time and I bet many had NC St beating St. Louis which didn't quite happen, but Harvard over Cincy and the Bisons of ND St. trampling the Sooners will separate the men from the boys in the brackets.  I'm still perfect--0 for 3.

[NewYorkExpress]

11/12 so far, only game I've missed is North Dakota State beating Oklahoma
http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2014/en/entry?entryID=1814255

Make that 14/16 at the conclusion of Day One (I had Arizona State over Texas) (Those 8/9 and 7/10 can be difficult)

[Donerail]

Pretty dismal 11/16 - would've been 13/16 if St. Joe's and NC State hadn't lost in OT. Two of my other picks (OSU and AZ State) lost by one and two (respectively) as well.

[JRP1994]

I am sincerely hoping that Mercer beats Duke.

Dreams can come true, it can happen to you.

Way to go, Mercer. Now Coastal Carolina needs to get it done.

When is that game, Xahar?

[Donerail]

Actually called Mercer winning. More out of anti-Duke hatred than anything, but still.

When is that game, Xahar?

9:25 Eastern, 6:25 Pacific. Unfortunately I'll miss it, since I'm heading to the airport then.

Ok thanks.  I"m not optimistic but I might take a peek.   Enjoy Pitt/Florida tomorrow.  I just don't want us to get blown out.  If I see a good game I'll be happy.

I picked Duke as national champions, consistent with my childhood dream of playing college basketball there. I don't even know where the fuck Mercer is (nor do I care to google it).

As a Mercerian, I take great pleasure after today's game in informing you that we're located in good ol' Macon, GA.

[7,052,770]

If UCLA hangs on, I'll be at 26/32 for the first round, and I've only lost 1 Sweet 16 team (Duke, who unfortunately was also an Elite 8 team).
