Re: 2022 NCAA Tourney bracket challenge

[Roadgeekteen]

My bracket took a hit near the end of the day. Predicted Memphis to go to S16 and predicted Arizona State to upset TCU. Dammit.

[CNGL-Leudimin]

I really love those knock-out tournaments, especially when they are single match, because things like what Farleigh Dickinson did can happen. Or when a 3rd tier team gets all the way to the semi-finals like it has happened several times in European association football. I still remember when Virginia lost to UMBC, at the time I had a parallel bracket in which I replaced the teams with something else.

[1995hoo]

I suppose FDU's win was encouraging: UVA has never failed to win the national championship the year after a #16 seed has beaten a #1 seed.

[epzik8]

Two of my Final Four are already out.

[Rothman]

I will rise from the basement.

Or not.

Probably not.

Should get an award for coming in last.

[Roadgeekteen]

Freaking Princeton all the way to the S16. My champion is still in, I had Alabama.

[JayhawkCO]

Obviously I'm grumpy and bitter, admittedly, but when there are six players that have four fouls or more in one game, the refs have become more in charge of the game than the players.

At least you won last year. Happy my champion Alabama is still in.

Or players are getting more sloppy.

I don't know. The refs are supposed to be in charge of the game no matter how many fouls the players have.

In charge of the result then.

I know what you meant of course. It was just a little joke on my part.

My "glass half full" take: your team can't choke in the postseason if they aren't in the postseason.

[JayhawkCO]

At least I don't feel ours was a choke. Arkansas is good and I was nervous about them when the bracket was released. Also, this year seems so wide open with no super obvious favorites. In years past, we've been the clear favorites and choked for sure (Northern Iowa, VCU, etc.).

[Roadgeekteen]

Yikes what an embarassing moment for FAU. Still rooting for them vs Tennessee though (picked Duke so no bracket implications).

[NWI_Irish96]

3rd in points right now, but still have 7 of my Elite Eight and my entire Final Four left so not too bad all things considered.

[Rothman]

I'm still amazed that I still have so many potential points compared to those above me in the ranks.  Doubly so, since my approach to this bracket was quite experimental (eh, let's just go by stats as I see fit...).

[jlam]

Heading into the Sweet 16, I'm currently tied in 4th with WillReaver and jeffandnicole, but I have a bunch more max points. Most of us still have a shot at first. Congrats to ran4sh for having one of the best brackets in the nation

[thspfc]

I'm second to last. Nice. Though I still have my champion (Alabama) and runner-up (Texas), plus Houston in the elite 8.

[Henry]

Hooray for my Bruins still being in it! I see them going all the way, if everything goes right for them.

[NWI_Irish96]

No strong feelings about UCLA one way or the other, but if they win it all I win some $$$ so go Bruins!

[Hunty2022]

All 1 seeds are out, and only one bracket on the group has its winner still in. (Gonzaga)

[Roadgeekteen]

Texas is the only 2 seed still in

[Henry]

Thanks to Gonzaga's win, my bracket is now worthless.

[Rothman]

Hey, I am no longer in last place!  And my pick for champion is the last standing.

Everything's coming up Rothman!
