2016 TOTV NCAA Bracket Tournament
 
I have set up a NCAA Bracket tournament called the TOTV2016 Challenge Pool on Yahoo for those that are interested. You will need a Yahoo ID and Password. The link to the tournament is:

https://tournament.fantasysports.yah...ster/joingroup

Click on Private Pool.

The Pool id is 22392 and the password is TOTV2016MM

If interested, please give it try. The more the merrier.

You can start entering your picks after the brackets are set on March 13, 2016.

The winner gets bragging rights. There are no cash prizes.

I am in it to win it. Not really. I never do well in these as I do not follow enough college basketball and the experts are about as right as I am.

Thanks for setting this up zcaveman. :BigApplause:

Now if only the University of Nevada, Reno can get in it. They have to win their tournament tonight. UNR has never been a basketball powerhouse though.

Thanks ZCaveman. I am in and so is Iona. Hope they can win at least one. Either way it is fun to have a pool.

Michigan State lost. Ouch!

zcaveman 03-19-2016 06:07 AM

Lots of upsets these past two days. Heck of an end to the Texas -Northern Iowa game and the St Joe-Cinncy game.

Goof luck to all on the rest of your games.

Hope the Virginia Cavaliers make my sister-in-law proud tonight and win. She graduated from the U of VA.

jebartle 03-25-2016 08:45 AM

Go UNC
 
Tarheels in, Duke out...giggle

zcaveman 03-30-2016 07:59 AM

Well - I have to teams left - Oklahoma and NC. Neither one are on my final two.

So good luck to the winner!!

Weird contest like all of the NCAA tournaments. Lots of upsets early and late in the tourney. Makes it fun to watch even if you are losing.

I suppose my sister-in-law was heart broken by the loss of her beloved Cavaliers to Syracuse. The VA players just seemed to lose heart the last eight minutes or so of that game.

My father's team Valparaiso beat my alma mater (sort of) BYU to get to the NIT Championship. I was only at BYU Law School for ten days or so and did not have much time to do anything but study. This was back in 1982. It did make me very much interested in the complexity of legal research I found at BYU even though I had heard about it previously from a University of Nevada, Reno Philosophy Professor John Kelly whose wife was the Law Library Director for the National Judicial College on the University of Nevada, Reno campus.

That is a very beautiful campus at BYU.
