Yesterday destroyed my bracket. I picked TTU to beat Duke, Arizona to make the Final Four, and Gonzaga winning the natty  :-/.
TTU and Arizona was my final game. I'm dead.
I'm not gonna be last!

First 15 seed to win a Sweet 16 game.

No 13 or 14 seeds have done this yet, and only two 12's have, just to show how rare this is.

Duke vs UNC in final 4  :-o
Gee.  This hasn't been fixed.
And I was beginning to suspect I was the only one who had that thought... :hmmm:

Every school in the Final Four has won at least 3 NCAA Tournament titles, for a combined 17 among them.

I can't recall any run for a championship in any sport that hasn't been claimed to be fixed for some reason.  If St Peters won, it would've been fixed to get a NYC area team or a Cinderella story team in the Final 4.

My bracket has shot up in ranking because I picked Kansas to go to the national championship game and they did just that.

I made the top half. I can live with that.
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%

JayhawkCO

I'll either finish 3rd or 4th when KU wins tomorrow.

Buck87

I'm currently in 1st but cannot win. If Kansas wins I'll finish 4th behind the current 2nd-4th place holders, who all picked the Jayhawks, and if UNC wins I'll finish 2nd to the current 10th place holder, who picked the Tar Heels.

This game is a rematch of the 1957 final in which UNC defeated Wilt Chamberlain's Jayhawks 54-53 in triple overtime at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City. 

Roadgeekteen

I'm 6th. Given that I was near the bottom for a time I'm thrilled.

Bluntly, we were more or less ignored from the beginning of the tournament. Everyone thought we'd lose to Iowa if I remember correctly. As Self says, not our most talented team, but they think they are. Hell of a comeback.

I had them in the championship game. I though highly of them due to winning the B12 over a very good Texas Tech team. Gonzaga dissappointed me. Not picking them next year.

Some talking head may have picked that, but most of the brackets had Kansas in the Final Four. In their bracket they had the weakest 2 seed, an average 3 seed, and the weakest 4 seed. Like roadgeekteen I had them losing to Gonzaga in the final, but they were always a good bet to get there.

I wonder who Roy Williams was rooting for last night...

Fun fact: Both finalists were coached by the successors of the same man (Williams), which had never happened until now. Congrats to Bill Self for picking up his second title at Kansas, and I wish Hubert Davis the best of luck at UNC.
Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago, what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!

He was dressed in Carolina blue. It was a good run when he was with us (he left for UNC when I was a junior at KU), but we surprisingly ended up seemingly better off by getting Self, who views Kansas as his dream job. UNC was always Roy's dream job. Glad they both got them as they're both good guys.

Yeah, I had Iowa. I had no one left in the Final Four.
