I know neither one will make it all the way but I've gotta go with the Washington Huskies and Gonzaga Bulldogs in their respective divisions.

So, we gonna get more takers on this? Turnout hasn't been that great so far, and we'd love to have everyone who will on board.

You've got about another day and a half to sign up. ;)

Termyt has joined.

However, Termyt knows nothing about college basketball.

So, perhaps you can get some revenge for the total thrashing Termyt delt you in Pro Football Pick'em.

Nice to see things picking up a bit, but we'd still love to have more people on board.

And actually, I thought I held my own fairly well in the Football Pick 'Em. It just seemed like more of a thrashing since no one else seemed as dedicated as you and I. :P

All-right! I am one for three! (Almost lost the Boston College one, too).

So far so good. <.< >.>

You and me both. And I discovered that you and I have the exact same picks for the whole Minneapolis region. Weird...

while I haven't filled out any brackets all my brothers and my dad have and EVERY single guy at school has... we watched the PAC BC game in French class and at the VERY END of when they were tied our vice principal came in and made us turn it off. But we turned it back on again at the very end of class... so Boston won? Man, that's gonna screw up some people in my class. They had Pacific in the final four.

:stressed: Boy, I don't know what in the world happened on mine. My Atlanta bracket is still relatively intact, but after that it goes to pot. Usually I do better in these Pick 'Ems than this. Thanks Bradley, Washington, Wichita State, and George Mason. At least 3 of my Final Four are still in it.

Yeah... meboeck is in a lot of trouble too, he had North Carolina winning the National Championship... anyway, I have checked the scenario generator and its still anybodies game, so we'll have to see who wins.

I'm happy Gonzaga and Washington both made it to the Sweet 16.Now all Washington needs to do is beat those other Huskies from UConn...

I sure hope not... I have Uconn winning the national championship.

You should have joined up with us in the Pick 'Em, Mitsuki. Maybe next year we'll get you in. ;)

It looks like you are walking away with it anyways, Peanut.

Meboeck is hanging on in second, but he is toast. With only a max of 100 points, I'm afraid he's most likely to end up in fourth.

Second place looks to be between me and freerock1. I have no chance to win the tourney, but if things go extremely well for freerock1, he could slide in front.

Actually, if Gonzaga runs the table, and if Villanova and Uconn lose either in the Sweet 16 or in the Elite 8, meboeck would end up winning... but still, what's the chance of that actually happening...

Hope springs eternal for our toasted freind meboeck.

For myself I would just love to see Washington and Gonzaga face each other in the
tournament.

Yes, but it was a very exciting and tight game. I never knew LSU can play such great defense this year. My goodness.

Stunning. I spoke too soon. It appears that the mathematical oddity I needed to get back into the race actually happened.

Now if Villanova looses, I will be favored to win.

You still need Texas to beat LSU and either Memphis or UCLA before you are really, truly favored to win... Anyway, it should come right down to the wire, everyone but meboeck can still win.

Well Gonzaga blew it again this year.They had UCLA and then instead of holding on to the ball they allowed UCLA to score the winning basket.They should have at least fouled and made UCLA earn the points.This is the second time they have gotten to the Sweet 16 and lost.

At least Washington managed to last one period longer than Gonzaga,as they lost in overtime.
Guess I am just going to have to pin my hopes on UCLA making it to the Final Four now.

Well... now it is getting interesting... with Uconn gone Termyt is officially dead and I am in some serious trouble... The entire CAA pickem group champion...thing, will be decided by either Florida v. Villanova or G. Mason v. Villanova (if nova manges to beat Florida)...*insert random DBZ announcer voice here* who will win, will it be me, the semi-sole possesor of first place for the almost the entire tournament, or will it be freerock, who fell to last place after several stunning upsets in the first and second round... tune in later this afternoon... or later this week to find out, on CAA's Tournament Pickem group!!!!
Ok... Ok... I am sorry that I did that, but I couldn't resist... anyway this is getting really interesting since both Duke and Uconn are now out of the tournament... yay uncalled for upsets! Thanks for ruining brackets nation wide with your never giving up mentallity and underdog likeness... well... I guess I have no choice but to cheer for G. Mason from now on... so... GO G. MASON!!!!!!!!!!

Well... good job everyone, but in the end... you all failed... I have won! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... I'm just kidding... about the failing part... anyway, it was fun... hopefully, we will all still be around to do it again either next year... or with some other sport... untill then... I am the CAA Pickem Champion!!!!!!

Hey did anyone even think George Mason would even get into the Sweet 16 let alone the Final Four?
