DEM'S FIGHTIN' WORDS.

Spoiler

It's probably true

cause it is

 

[andycapps]

What an effort by Georgia and it was down to the buzzer but they missed the last 3 that would have tied it. I'm just glad we made it to the tourney again. Baby steps.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Intense end to georgia/wash

Thats sacrificing your body. Washington d is suspect though. Coach has some serious aversion to full court d.

If Thomas didn't get his hands on that and our guy could have actually set his feet we'd probably be in OT now. Thomas is ridiculous.

Perfect bracket day

Edit: Whoops forgot Syracuse is still going.

 

[jakncoke]

seems like everybody had a happy 2nd day, unless the people that had a nuked bracket simply aren't posting

My F4 was screwed when St Johns lost

I had Hampton over Duke too

im actually doing great in one of my non gaf money brackets, just not that exciting of a tournament to be honest

hopefully next weekend's matchups are more exciting

oh and my Cards lost, which I wont lie has put a damper on it for me

 

[jakncoke]

looking through brackets and seeing the people that aren't having such a good pickem. Someone had St.Johns in the NC. ouch.

Hmmmmmmm wonder who that could be............. lol

 

[ErasureAcer]

If Syracuse holds on...only 3 losses for me today(had 4 yesterday). I said last night I'd take 4 losses today if my S16 stayed intact...and thankfully it did. So, all my S16 teams are still in. The tournament essentially starts over for me tomorrow.

 

[jakncoke]

Hmmmmmmm wonder who that could be............. lol

XD haha prolly is him.

 

[Jasconius]

My GAF bracket is pretty terrible, but my best bracket is 26/32... I missed all 4 8-9 games, UNC, and Morehead St. Pretty good, just wish I'd put that bracket in instead. ;p

 

[bucknuticus]

Blah saw the OSU game is 5:15 and cuse game is 7:40 on sunday, was hopping they would be the early games so I could get home at a decent hour. Only good thing is I dont have to leave at 8am now.

Still have all my sweet 16 together for both Saturday and Sunday!! Big games for me tomorrow are Morehead State over Richmond and Gonzaga over BYU.

 

[bucknuticus]

Oh wow im in 2nd. Im in 2nd in my work money one too, I won it at all 2 years ago for $700. This years 1st place gets $725ish.

says you're in a tie for 5th, not 2nd...unless someone is using your name as their bracket name.

 

[mlaz14]

Didn't realize I was doing that well. Watching the games I didn't know that I had picked George Mason, Illinois, VCU, or Florida St to win today.

 

[bucknuticus]

Sorry meant that.

 

[bluemax]

I went from 18th to 1st by trusting in KenPom!

 

[Elfforkusu]

I went from 18th to 1st by trusting in KenPom!

*brofist*

A little late, but I haven't seen this posted many places. Earlier this week the man himself dropped this on twitter:

Preseason kenpom top 4: Duke, Ohio State, Kansas, Pitt

... I added the emoticon, because clearly that was the look on his face as he typed it.

 

[Pollux]

My lord I'm getting destroyed....48th. and my UK national Championship is almost sure of screwing me over even more....but if the can pull of the upset....ahhhh.

 

[SamuraiX-]

My entire Southeast and Southwest bracket got fucking hammered these past couple of days.

No idea how I'm ranked 10th in the GAF bracket... tied with like 18 other people. lol

 

[jakncoke]

12 hours to gametime. So far away

 

[Mgoblue201]

I had a mediocre first round, but 14 of my Sweet Sixteen and all of my Elite Eight teams are still alive, so I may climb back into the top 10 if I have a great second round. I would be very happy to be wrong about Duke, however. I don't think Michigan has made the Sweet Sixteen since 1994.

 

[Sir Pant]

I would never have thought to call VCU over Georgetown, thought they were pretty good this year.

Anyways, missing STJ from the s16 and e8, and Louisville from s16. I also have SDSU going to the big dance over Uconn and Duke. Let's hope my jump on the hype train works out...

 

[giga]

Hoping for some better games today than what we had yesterday. I want some real bracket busters, basketball gods.

Edit: What the fuck, my USA flag is gone.

 

[jakncoke]

No it's not, i still see it.

Edit: Is now a giant imgur broke image pic. goddamn

[Incognito]

look at this fucking guy

Being president is an ego trip. So you would have thought President Obama wouldn’t need to add to his bragging rights. But Mr. Obama’s N.C.A.A. men’s basketball bracket stands — for the moment, anyway — as one of the best out there.

Out of 32 games, Mr. Obama has accurately predicted all but three. As of Saturday morning, he ranks at No. 16 on The Times’s bracket site, tied with many others. Mr. Obama has a total of 166 out of 195 points possible.

 

[bluehat9]

Here's my first real bracket-buster game of the tourney today. If Kentucky loses, I'm done.

 

[LegoDad]

look at this fucking guy

that last part isn't correct about 166 points, I can get 184 in my real bracket and I only got 26 out of 32, yet his entire sweet 16 in intact, some reporter can't do math...

He should have 189 possible points left.

Here's my first real bracket-buster game of the tourney today. If Kentucky loses, I'm done.

Good I have Kentucky losing, bring it!

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

Lets go Mountaineers!

 

[jakncoke]

lol at Calipari's cousin

 

[PotatoeMasher]

If Jorts is dunking, this could be a great day.

 

[PotatoeMasher]

Knight with 14 points in the first 12 minutes of the game.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Mitchel has the ugliest shot.

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

Mitchel has the ugliest shot.

eh whatever works

 

[Brian Fellows]

eh whatever works

Very true

 

[jakncoke]

that was pretty funny

 

[Pollux]

this is one of the worst ref'ed games of the tourney so far.
