Twelve games in, and only one upset so far!

Anyone else watching their games and their brackets tonight?

Pick for the national champion this year? (I chose Xavier, just 'cause)

How do you make your picks? (My picks are based on complete ignorance and sentimental hogwash.)

Share your joys and sorrows here.
 
I picked Duke. For no reason other than I like the letter “D”.
 
Arizona was destroyed by Buffalo! 😱

Did not see that one coming.
 
Well, apparently everyone was busy watching the games, or we’re the only Catholics in the US who know about March Madness.

Anyway, day 1 is over, 16 games have been played, and I’m at 12-4. Not bad at all by my personal standards.

@Entwhistler if you tell me that you correctly predicted the upset of Buffalo over Arizona, I’m going to have to require a certified copy of your brackets. 😠🚬

Meanwhile, I’ve stayed up way too late… but it’s March Madness!!! :crazy_face:

😴💤💤
 
Haven’t made any picks. They pre-empted Mama’s soaps. And when Mama ain’t happy, ain’t no one happy.

Oh, and my brackets have taken their first serious hit – I had Witchita moving all the way to the Elite Eight, and they’re out in the first round. 😠

Sheesh. Why doesn’t anyone ever do what I tell them? :roll_eyes:
 
No, I did not predict that. My bracket doesn’t look too good. I’m at 50%.

Dang it.
 
I ended Round One at 22-10. Meh.

Personally, I was so excited to see UMBC beat Virginia – holy cow! That was AWESOME!
😄 🏀 😄 🏀 😄

Yeah, it messed up my brackets a bit, but I LOVED seeing that wee bit of sports history – a #16 beating a #1. And so many people were saying Virginia was likely to take it all!

I’m gonna have to miss most of the games tonight because a friend of mine decided to celebrate her birthday with something other than a March Madness party, sheesh. :roll_eyes:
 
Yeah. I’m thinking about being that friend who sits there the whole time talking about my brackets, the upcoming matches and who’s favored and why I think the pundits are wrong, all the while checking several apps on my phone to see how the games are going and how my brackets are shaping up.

Good times.

What are your thoughts on that?
 
Admirable goal. You just need to reorient your friend to what truly matters in life.
 
OK, my brackets are busted and lying in tiny little places all over the floor – what a mess. They haven’t been this bad in many, many years.

Still, I’m liking some of the upsets very much. 😄
 
Well I correctly picked half of the Sweet Sixteen. I’m at 65% for correct pickings overall. Not great but not horrible.

I picked seen of the Sweet 16, but half of my Elite 8 are out, and my pick for national champion is out as well.

Just not my year, I guess. 😂:crazy_face:
