I'm in, too. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see anywhere to pick the "first four" games. This one doesn't do that? Not that I'm looking for it to, just want to make sure I'm not missing something.

[ziggy]

With this one, I don't think you have to pick the first 4.

[mrfargo]

I am in like flynn!!!!!

[BlockParty]

[Toocool]

Can I ask what challenge this is?
And the most important question, will I have to give Ziggy my soul in order to enter?

[ziggy]

We have 7 people in so far. OK everyone else, fill out your brackets and take your beatdown like a man.

[SWedd523]

Should've seen it coming, Faried can play

[ziggy]

Not only did I have Louisville going a little ways. I had Princeton with the 1st round upset.

[ammofan]

7-1! What up?!?!?!?!? :D

[Dcarnys]

6-2... Can't complain here :D

[rsxnova]

So who called Richmond vs Morehead St?

[WAM9]

I had half of it right but anyone who truly called Morehead is either a genius or is simply guessing...

i think ESPN said there were 2000 perfect brackets out of 5.9 mil. 20% genius 80% luck.

[Scottley Crue]

I like to think that my start will allow for overcoming adversity. I also like to think that I'm a billionaire, can fly and have Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson and Sarah Shahi in a jello-wrestling match outside to see who will get some private time with me. Sadly, there's no jello-tub outside so I guess I'll have to bide my time on the brackets.

[SWedd523]

I didn't call it lol just that they were a pretty popular upset bid thanks to Kenneth Faried.

I had it down to Morehead and Belmont as my big upsets and went with Belmont instead. Would've been nice to go the other way but what can you do

[Felton for Prez]

There is something nice about watching college ball. The whole concept of moving the ball on offense, finding the open man, cutting, shooting an open shot that is a nice change of pace from watching the Bobcats.

Sitting in second with 13 wins.

[cltblkhscoach]

11 wins....thought Michigan State would make a run, thanks Tom Izzo....geez.

[WAM9]

I'm at 11 wins also but St Johns is a killer for me. I really beleived in Utah State as well.

[Felton for Prez]

I could've easily swapped out "Bobcats" for "NBA". The college game is a different game with a lot more movement (in most cases) than NBA games. The NBA is more isolation than ball movement. Its nice to see a different way to play the game.

I don't blame Jax for killing basketball, by no means. I will, however, continue to blame him for killing any concept of ball movement on the 'cats.

Me too. I had them in the sweet 16. Not really sure why but I did.

i wanted to stay out of this, but i have nothing else to do so...
ball movement does not mean lateral passes around the perimeter because there is an excruciatingly long shot clock which allows for meaningless and purposeless "action". and the times when it does lead to a good open look it usually results in a miss because the skill level is not very good. college is a game of "who makes it first" wins where the nba is a game of "who misses first" loses. i like march madness as much as the next guy but the on-court product of college basketball is pretty poor.

i know everyone on here is obvoiously a fan of the nba and it was never stated or insued that college is better than the pro's, i just wanted to make sure it doesn't head that way.

I'll say it for you. College ball is better than the pros. If you really think it's about who makesmitmfirst then you must be watching some low quality mid major AA basketball. Any UNC/Duke game is infinitely more entertaining than any NBA game.

The players care, the coaches care, the FANS are insane, and you see people actually trying to play. You don't see NBA players diving for loose balls, playing 3/4 full court pressure defense. And you definitely don't see the same type of ball and player movement.

[cltblkhscoach]

My two cents, the college game on a whole is more entertaining than NBA regular season basketball. I think the NBA playoffs trump the college game though. When the best of the best are playing hard all 4 quarters, it's better than college basketball anyway you put it.

[ammofan]

Sole posession of first for me now!

[rsxnova]

We shall see at the end of the day...

I don't know that one is better than the other, they are just different. I think that is why i like the game of basketball so much. Style, pace, strategy, physicality, aggression etc are all variables that can take on different coefficients. Said another, the game came be played so many different ways, one isn't necessarily better than the other. Its just nice to see the variety of options from time to time.

These are my thoughts exactly.

I truly enjoy the passion and team oriented college game for sure but I also enjoy seeing the game played by some of the best athletes in the world. Different games all together.

[adam187]

Bracket broken.

[ziggy]

It appears that I hold sole possession of last place.

My bracket is obliterated.

Don't feel too bad, I had Pitt in the championship game. Whoops...

[BlockParty]

I'm in first now and I considered taking a screen print...when you have Wisconsin in the finals, the chest beating should be delayed until the Fat Lady has sung, broken a glass and asked for dessert.

[Dcarnys]

Considering I had St Johns in the Final Four (don't ask) Ill take 7th
