Test.

Historically this tourney has humbled many great programs that deserved a better fate, that said, Dan Hurley’s UCONN Huskies are poised to repeat. There, there’s the SI jinx

My picks are in for this one. I often get my bracket busted in the first few rounds.

Recall picking Virginia a few years back to win it all. I did pick U Conn over Purdue for the final game.

You only have until the start of the March Madness tipoff of the regular games to make picks.

About 105 minutes from now.

Insert CBS tourney theme music here! Go Huskies

Good luck.

50,366. National entries.

1,068. Local entries.

I submitted my picks

Good to hear.

The National entries are growing.

50,638.

I’m in. :)

1076 Local entries.

Bracket buster on first regular day of March Madness.

Calipari and the Wildcats coughed up another fur ball this tournament

I don't have to worry about winning.

Never do well since I pick the multitude college that family attended, and years of income went to pay for those degrees. So I pick where I donated.

Bonus so far grands went to Oakland so that was a win, pics of their star player and granddaughter are the net. Then again youngest went to Kentucky, so that went down fast.

So my guess is will be done after today

I have 30/60 picks right. 613 out of 1,110 rank locally. Not good; not bad either.

Old friend from NC State would be ecstatic. Hope he is looking down from on high. He lived here in the Villages for quite some time. He passed a number of years ago though.

Did very well in someone elses bracket until sweet 16 when disaster struck.

I've still got Connecticut, but that's it.

I have UConn as well. NC State seems destined tho

I think Caitlin Clark is inspiring. (I know I'm on the wrong thread, in the wrong brackets, with the wrong gender - but I suspect the other thread where she is mentioned is headed for the circular file, so I posted my thought here).

I did as well.
Both tournaments have been amazing. I haven't checked but other than UConn, is this the first time 2 programs (men and women) NC State....are in the Final 4?

I have Connecticut over Purdue in finals.

I ended with a score of 240 which is not too shabby. 143rd out of 1113 locally.

Good games in the women's and men's finals.

350 out of 1,113 :shrug:
