6th annual USMB March Madness pool

I must have been on drugs making these picks!

Sooo...Viagra is the secret to your performance so far?

Was this the best game of the tournament so far? What a wild ending, this actually could have been one of those endings that was never forgotten, it came close. I think Hoiberg is the son of the former NBA player and college great.

A great hard fought game they went all out. You don't see this in pro sports much. When you do your best there is no reason to hang your head. Great game by both teams.

I will be offline and out of cell phone range until late Wednesday night, will update scores then

Hmmm I didn't realize boner pills made you smarter!

St. John's Kansas was a nailbiter!

I am not a basketball fan. I once rooted for the champions a few years back, but only because my daughter was attending that University.

I understand that most folks who engage in March Madness “brackets” have been wrecked due to some big early round upsets.

Another reason I’m glad I don’t engage.

I could **** up a bracket without help.

Tarheels choke again.



Badgers choke too.

Outstanding!!!!!

Guessing Bill Self may choose to retire.

I don't like Kansas Basketball (to many worshippers), but Self was a good guy.

Arizona hangs on.

As close as 4 with 4 minutes left.

Not what they should let happen.

I didn't turn it on until 4 minutes to go and they were up 6. Yikes! Hopefully that was the wake up call that they needed.

#4 Arkansas is next.

Can they get through to the elite eight? Lloyd needs to make sure they are ready.

He was Illinois coach 20 some years ago, he got his ring at Kansas, I missed this game
entirely but two good coaches in the SJ - Kansas game

I liked Self.

I think he's got some health issues.

Absolutely, they are better and deeper than Arkansas.

They've blown it here several times in the last four years.

They need to figure out how not to screw it up.

Already it's looking like....if they can get past Purdue.....they would be a in a good spot to win it all.

looks like their shooting was off which made it closer than it should have been. I'd like to see Aristode get more early minutes and see if his shot is on.

And it's true. When they go cold....they go cold.

Lute's teams would do this. And boy it was crushing to watch.

Utah State forces trurnovers (forced many by AZ) and is a legit team. Several times closed to 3pts in 2nd half.

AZ hit one late miracle 3pt shot way out top of key at shot clock=0 to go back up by 6pts late. Quieting USU on a run.

****
Arkansas is better than USU (similar). Very bad seeding for ARK. Pretty sure they were SEC TMT champions winning tough wild games.

In pools, some ladies seem to do well.
