2-0 early in brackets I could still score points in and underdogs winning late in the brackets I was already dead in. Good combo. Might help me finish 40th...LOL

WOW, I just checked and I jumped from 50th to 19th just from UConn and Florida winning.

Me too because I'm going to San Antonio for those games. It would be awesome to see a 10, 11, or 12 win the Region.

If Kansas wins no one will care in two years, but if a double-digit seed wins people will take about it for years to come.

Must have been the reason after all. ESPN is back open but any URL that has "bracket" in it is blocked.

They didn't want you beating the CIC.

I am some how clinging onto a 19th spot tie despite having a decimated bracket and only 1 final four team making it out of the first weekend.

Be prepared to drop like a stone. You only have a possible 160 points remaining.

I'm really hoping for "not last" at this point; although a complete destruction of my bracket would be comical enough to be worth it.

Well, I'm at least competitive (#12) for now, with 3 of my 4 final four remaining.

Similar to Jim Carey's character in Dumb and Dumber - "So, what you're saying is, I've got a chance."

Not really. But, at least I'm not embarassed!

I've got a lot of points remaining. I hope I spent them wisely.

Brackets absolutely destroyed for everyone.

Nah, there are a few who still have 800 PPR.

I have a 560 PPR, all contingent on Kanas winning out. So it's now officially impossible for me to win as there are at 4-5 folks in front of me who have Kansas winning out.
