I also picked Butler to beat Maryland. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra.../checkmark.gif I was on fire last weekend, but have to criticize myself for not picking Vandy, who I knew was better than WSU. I just got swayed by living in the PAC-10 area. I'm kicking myself for it today.

Oh, my. <font>

Um, I picked Butler, too. I'm just sayin'. :)

What were these Michigan State players thinking?
 

They were probably thinking, "Man, I wonder if he's gonna wear that ugly mask today, and if not, can we make him bleed as bad as Henderson did." :D

Tyler has all the eggs in MY basket. :)

You guys are more than welcome to use the Chat at Refstripes.com. You will have to be a member to log in, but I think many of you are members already.

I did log in during the games, but nobody was there. :(

Yeah, it's not really being used right now. But, if a group of you guys want to use it, go for it.

A quick analysis of our group reveals that despite leading up until now, I will not finish first. :(

I lead #2 by 10, #3 by 20, #4 by 30, and #5 by 40.
That's not much of a lead since each semifinal is worth 120 pts and the champion is worth 160.

The key reason that I won't win is that I only have one of my two finalists still alive. That means that I get a zero for one of the semifinals.

I have Ohio State winning it all, so those are my only possible remaining points, but #3 "Rogers 1" also has Ohio State winning, but has them beating UCLA. So if that happens he will pick up 120 points on me and beat me by 100. If Ohio State beats Florida in the final that would mean that I would remain ahead of him, but not #5 BktBallRef, who has that exact matchup in his Championship game. So he would leap over me by 80. That means I can't possibly win it.

If Florida wins the championship, current #2 AllHeart is our winner with current #4 BigWhistle finishing 20 points behind. BigWhistle has no way of finishing first.

If UCLA wins tmp44 jumps up to #1 no matter if they beat Georgetown or Ohio State in the final game.

If Georgetown wins it all, Stripes takes the cake. :) I'm rooting for Stripes.

Someone please correct me, if I did any of that figuring wrong.

If you picked any ACC teams to make the Final Four, YOU LOSE!!! ;)

Peace

can anyone post the standings or tell me where I am at. They have blocked it at work. I am under Swanson1, B. Swanson. Thanks!!!

I couldn't find your name.

Well I had a fun time at my lofty perch. It was fun showing anyone who would look my 99.9% ranking.

If anyone asks how I'm doing now, I just change the subject.

I know this is a mess, but it should help the person who can't see it. I'm enjoying my T-11 standing now as it can only go down. I can only earn points once more, if Georgetown wins its Final Four game as I picked Kansas to win it all.

I'm just happy I'm not bringing up the rear as usual.

It's funny what happens when you pull just a small part out of a quote. :D

So what do I win? :D

Have an Attaboy !

Good Job All_Heart.....

A hearty handshake and a pat on the back!

(While the rest of us are grumbling in the background...how could All_Heart win it when <B>my</B> picks were so much better...grumble...All_Heart must know someone at ESPN...grumble...demand a re-count...grumble...)

:D
