In, under my rarely used JerseyBarriers alias.

[ran4sh]

I'm in!

[JayhawkCO]

Looks like we already lost someone's champ and someone's runner up. What a choke job that was by UVA. How he makes that pass, I don't know. Hell of a shot from Furman though.

[Roadgeekteen]

0-2 now 

[Hunty2022]

That UVA champ was mine 

Currently 0-2 as well. (forgot I picked WV over Maryland)

[Rothman]

Heh.  I picked Furman.

[thspfc]

Missouri's win gets me my first points after heartbreaking endings for the Virginias.

[JayhawkCO]

I swore I switched my Utah State pick to Missouri, but it must not have saved. My intention was picking against all MWC teams this year as they didn't win a single game in last tourney.

[NWI_Irish96]

1 for 4 on my primary bracket but 4 for 4 on my secondary bracket. Seems like it always ends up that way for me.

[epzik8]

Go Terps go (but ugh, Fulman busting me already...)

[Roadgeekteen]

Looks like I may have picked the wrong south region upset

[Roadgeekteen]

And now Princeton beat Arizona. Wow.

[Alps]

And now Princeton beat Arizona. Wow.

go new jersey

[Rothman]

Well, this was fun while it lasted.

[thspfc]

My bracket is garbage but at least all my elite 8 teams will still be alive through day 1, which is an improvement over previous years.

[jlam]

Wow, going against my gut and eliminating Arizona early worked out. Good thing I got all those upsetted teams eliminated early

[Rothman]

Nervous fans in Houston...

So much for me defending my "bracket title."

[Roadgeekteen]

Nervous fans in Houston...

Can't believe it was that close with Northern Kentucky chucking up so many deep 3s and missing.

#16 FDU pulls off a thrilling upset over #1 Purdue! It must suck having them win it all...

[Hunty2022]

#16 FDU pulls off a thrilling upset over #1 Purdue! It must suck having them win it all...

Well, we aren't the only ones to lose to the #16 seed anymore.

[1995hoo]

VPI fans everywhere are pissed at both FDU and Purdue.

[Roadgeekteen]

#16 FDU pulls off a thrilling upset over #1 Purdue! It must suck having them win it all...

I had Purdue losing to Memphis in the round of 32. Never trusted them.

[Henry]

Second time this has happened...

Before 2018: "No 16 seed has ever beaten a 1...", and then UVA loses to UMBC, one year before eventually winning the national championship.

From 2018 until tonight: "No way it'll happen again...", and then Fairleigh Dickinson pull it off against Purdue. Just goes to show that they call it March Madness for a reason.
