detlef Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Just in case you haven't been following the NCAA hoops threads, I thought I'd share these little gems... Ah I wish I would have come on this forum a few weeks ago I could have really added some input to this NCAA tournament. I had hit a few of the big upsets by seeds. I had CSU over Wake (I live 45 miles from Cleveland) and I just knew they were going to do it after they beat Butler in the conf tourney. This was their big year. Their one shinning moment. I had Arizona into the sweet 16. I had Western Kentucky over Illinois (no brainer IMO).What killed me was I also had VCU over UCLA (1 pt loss), I hate Utah State over Marquette (1 pt loss). I did not pick Dayton. I did pick NDST over Kansas (that hurt), I had West Virg into sweet 16 (Only sweet 16 team I missed I went 15/16 on that part) I was leading an online contest (next year I will send everyone the info for it, it is a great contest) with 458 entries. When we got down to the Elite 8 I was in great shape. I had 7 of those 8 right. Then the Big East started screwing me over. I had all 4 number 1 seeds in the final 4 (yes I know that was cazy idea it only happened once before) and it came back to haunt me. 1st Pitt lost knocking me out of 1st place. Then Louisville lost costing me more cash. Then the big blow Conn lost costing me a top 4 finish. I can finish 5th now if NC wins the title (I had NC > Conn) but it sucks I would have got 1st if I had just got 11 more pts. In this bracket you get pts for your seed in the 1st round, double your seed in 2nd round so the 1st 2 rounds of getting the higher seed teams correct are huge. The 8/9, 7/10's huge as well. Arizona was a key pick 24 pts for 2nd round. I got CSU, Arizona right but the final 4 killed me. I never thought FSU would lose to Wisky and had I been here maybe someone would have changed my mind that would have been the difference in 1st ($1,500) and 5th ($320). Oh well I guess next year. I also follow college bball very indepth after football season ends (I follow the mid majors plus Kentucky and Ohio State very closely plus the other schools as well) I take vacation each year the Thurs/Fri before the bracket is announced and I make my own brackets trying to get all 65 teams and their seeds right. I missed Arizona this year (had St. Mary's in) but once they got in and I seen their draw I had them pegged for sweet 16 right off the bat. In any event it will be fun next year talking about March Madness which I love just as much as Fantasy Football. I think NC will win the title despite playing a "road" game. Until football season be well to all. Man I wish I was here during the leading up to the selections I would have added in my own 2 cents since I follow it this closely as well. I even take work off every year the Thur/Fri to sequester myself in my house leading up to the selection show and I try to get all the teams and seeds right. Got 64/65 this year I missed Arizona. Next year I will try to make it a point to be on here with you and we can see how it goes. It should be fun. Also I do the same thing...the only paper I buy each year is the Monday paper following the selection show the USA today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
