Title: DK Ballers Season II
Post by: LMDAVE on March 16, 2014, 01:40:29 pm
Any of you who enjoyed the NCAA basketball brackets last year, I'm doing it again, and opening it up to anyone here and some friends of mine. Just for fun and bragging rights.

Brackets will be ready for selection later this evening, join at the link below.

C'mon, 2 days left, fill in some spots.

Jeff Wolfe....What's Gonzaga gonna do?

Ross - Which Oregon team is going to show up this year?

Hank - Harvard's representing this year (will they be one and done?)

Mitch - Are you going to pick some upsets this year, or go with favorites?

You never know, they beat the #3 seed last year in the 1st round.  Although I wouldn't put any money on it.

I'll probably sign up tomorrow.  I need to win that $1 billion.

Well, it won't be the Beavers as they haven't sniffed the tournament since Gary Payton was playing point guard (1990).  We do however have the best baseball team in the country and plan on winning that tournament.

Gonzaga will lose before I want them to, but I have to at least pick them to make the final four(someday it will happen). Bracket filled and added, good luck everyone.  :)

;)

I don't keep up with college basketball, nor do I currently trust my ability to evaluate which sources are reliable in helping to pick upsets; so I just go with the rankings.

I listened to a radio show yesterday where they made their picks on which mascot would win against the other mascot. But, yeah can't go wrong with just picking the favorites, you'll be at the top of the list most of the tournament unless a major upset happens. Just fun to predict and pick some of the upsets.

Another disappointment for Nebraska.  We couldn't buy a basket.  A good season overall and showing promise with the new coach.  Oh well.

Lot of upsets with Dayton winning another one, I'd like to see Harvard come back and Beat Mich St. right now.

Hank, you missed out on the bracket!

That was an exciting first week of the tournament, a lot of brackets got busted.

Action continues tonight with 4 games, but I have to admit tomorrow night is all the good games Im waiting to see.

I still have all 4 of my final four team still alive (so do a few others).

Crazy tournament!

Highest combined seeds in championship game ever!

Also, if UConn wins, they will be the second highest seed in history to win, and if UK wins, they will tie for highest seed to ever win.

This is why, for me, the NCAA tournament is the greatest American sporting event, and it's not even close. Although I am pretty excited about next year's FBS playoff.

Yeah, this was a crazy tournament for picking. Congrat Ross!

I'd like to see Kentucky win, but seeing how UCONN handled Florida, that may be hard unless you believe in Kentucky - "Team of Destiny".
