Auburn torched my other bracket at work yesterday.  Eh, it was somewhat of a long-shot guess anyway.

Still doing okay in this one.
Go Marquette tonight!

My UConn-Purdue title game is still alive, but my other two Final Four picks (Kentucky and North Carolina) are out. Pretty funny.

Somehow I'm in first place in both.

Does anyone know who won the 2023 group brackets?

I correctly predicted three Elite Eight teams, two of which are my title game teams.

Looks like I have a (very slim) chance, for once. I need

- Alabama over UConn
- If Tennessee wins today, NC State must beat Duke and then they must beat Tennessee
- If Purdue wins today, they must lose in the F4 (opponent doesn't matter)

Then I would somehow win despite having the wrong national champion and the sweet 16 completely wiping out the right side of my bracket.

Purdue headed to the Final Four on the strength of Zach Edey for the first time since 1980.

Huh.  Would have thought they had made it some time between then and now.

My bracket is busted, but Duke lost.  Therefore, I am happy.

My other bracket, not the one entered in this group, will win $500 if Purdue wins it all or loses to Alabama in the final.
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%

I didn't see the game yesterday because we went out to dinner for Easter with my mother. Bummed that Duke lost, but at the same time, NC State deserves immense credit for one of the all-time great Cinderella stories when you couple this run with their five wins in five days in the ACC Tournament just to make the NCAA field at all.
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

4 teams of destiny now; each with a reason to win it all. (even putting aside big centers, 3-point shooting, defense, coaching)...

UConn will win because it's 20x4

Purdue will win because the loser of a 1v16 upset always wins the next year (Virginia)

NC State will win because every team winning 5 conf tournament games in 5 days wins the same year (UConn 2011)

Alabama is undefeated in Final 4 play :-)

Weird seeing NC State touted as a Cinderella given the media hype they seemed to get when my Terps were still rivals to them in the ACC.

A reminder of kurumi's prophecy from last year:

Quote from: kurumi on April 08, 2023, 02:13:20 PMAlso, there's a pattern in the seemingly-random championship runs.

First was 1999, then 2004:  5 years
Then 2011:  7 years
Then 2014:  3 years
Then 2023:  9 years

5, 7, 3, 9.

Next number in the sequence is 1, meaning they'll repeat.

But after that, 11 blissful years free of UConn bracket-busting.

But after that... the next number is -1. And that gets interesting.

Not saying it will come true, but there's a rather high chance.

Funny how fate plays a huge role in the Final Four; we'll see who the last one standing is one week after tonight.

That exact post is why I chose UCONN. I trusted it and still do.

It happened in 2004, and again in 2014, so perhaps the Huskies are due again this year.

Well, there will not be a double Husky win this year. The UConn women's team narrowly lost to Iowa, so the final tomorrow will be between South Carolina and Iowa.
