Who else wants to play a little March Madness with me? I may put together a little prize package for the winner but, mostly, we're just playing for bragging rights here!

Just as an FYI, something is wrong with my account so that I can't log in. I have created a new account, and re-created my bracket. Now I'm just hoping nothing needs to be changed in order for us to see who wins this thing in case I can't get back into my other account.

Did you use darts like me, or do you actually know what you're doing? I'm probably about to get destroyed here. I typically only follow UNC and, well, we all see how well they're doing this year.

If anyone else wants in on this, you'd better hurry before it's too late to get picks in! Also, go Tarheels!!

Definitely go Tar Heels - was nice watching them bust up SDSU last night. Hope they saved some magic for the next 6 games.

Bracket is completed - thanks for doing this!

For sure! They looked sloppy there for a bit, I thought, but really turned it on after that rough start. 9-2 in their last 11 games, only the two games to Duke. I hope we get a chance to play them again!

The harder games are 8 v 9 and 7 v 10. those games I had to handicap the 1 v 16 and 2 v 15 were easy most were 20+ wins I did have a few upsets in the first round though

I've got them picked to beat Ole Miss, but that's where it ends. I really do hope they blow up my bracket and keep it rolling, though!

I picked them to win one of mine. Not like I'm incredibly biased or anything.

Well, UNC is out so this tournament is already a bust! I really did think they would beat Ole Miss. Just waited too long to start playing basketball then made some late mistakes that stopped the comeback.

Also, nobody has said anything about Clemson getting beat out. Can McNeese pull off another upset or was Clemson really just that bad on that day? I actually didn't see that game so I have no idea. I wouldn't mind seeing my bracket get busted for another round. Love those Cinderella teams. Also helps knowing I won't be the only one getting that one wrong if it happens.

Oh yeah, one more thing that I thought was pretty wild...I just read that this is the first year, in 50 years, that there is only one ACC team advancing past the first round, with Duke as the only one moving on.
