espn tournament challenge

[mutantducky]

Cal looked horrible today. Their coach after getting a warning just seemed to give up. They looked really good vs Louisville and so did that Chinese guy but today he hardly gets off the bench. I was just annoyed because the Purdue game and the Pitt-Xavier were near the end and CBS was sticking with a blowout game.
Duke usually lets their fans down before the final 4 but they got really nice team this year. A Kentucky-Duke game would be interesting.

Sounds good to me.

A Kentucky win over Duke, followed by a Kentucky win over Syracuse, wouldn't give me new shoes for Baby, but it would go a long way for me being able to hold my head up high at the lab, and not having to put up with a lot of grief from you knuckleheads.

If I didn't think Calipari was worse than kreswhewooski, I'd agree. There's only one team left in the tournament that would make me root for Duke.

I think it is very significant that Duke won a game over a competent opponent fairly comfortably, while going 3 for 17 from 3 point range. Zoubek was very good, and those Plumlee brothers are good men to have around.

I'm in 4th place but have ZERO chance of winning. I can't even pass the person who is 10 points in front of me. Big East (G-Town/Nova/'Ville) and a lack of faith in Duke killed me.

The Duke thing really burns me because the only early season prediction I made was that Duke had the talent to be an Elite Eight team and then I turnaround and pick them to lose in the 2nd round.

Sure you can...one quarter of my bracket is toast. But I still have a shot at 3 of the FF, and both in the Champ. game...hey, maybe I could pass the guy in front of me?!!?

I know you're north of them, but are you a Cubs fan?

No I am a Brewer fan, almost as painful as being a Cub fan but we are not really supposed to win. I am surrounded by Cub fans and most of them are pretty nice people

LOL, nah, I like the Panthers. Had quite a few friends who went to UNI. I told my wife as we were watching that one that I'd like them to win even though it would just destroy my bracket. There's only one game a year when I root against them.

And that would not be dook, I take it.

Wait a minute? I just realized it. I wanted to pick Kansas State, instead of Kansas, in the final against Kentucky. Somehow the word, "State", got left off my bracket when I logged in. Maybe some type of computer error? How hard could it be to have somebody at ESPN just add the word, "State", to all my Kansas picks? Maybe I'll take a drive down the street to Bristol and see if they'll change my brackets?
