Syracuse going down costed me a final four team prediction.

Vermont - Syracuse was such an odd game as NO fouls were being called in the paint until that obvious Warrick elbow, there was that terrible technical foul called and it seemed like Syracuse was sleep walking through most of the game. All in all, despite my bracket being ruined, I'm very happy for Vermont and I'm now a very big fan of their coach.

Take care all.

29 of 32 wouldn't seem so bad if I didn't lose a Final Four and Elite Eight team in the process - this Bucknell upset was amazing.

However, it is good to see mah boi Keith Langford hit those clutch free throws, even if his team didn't win. I know his brother Kevin, who has since graduated from North Crowley High School, where both of them went.

Cold Pizza airs when I'm at class usually, but I heard Mr. Paige gush about Vermont during Around The Horn several times. I assume he's on both programs?

Take care all.

Apparently.

Anyway, check out my post in the group thread. It seems not all is lost.

Indeed, that is true. Level footing is a good thing though if you picked the rest of the rounds as well as the opener, I'd say we're all in for a long few weeks of catch up.

Congrats on your initial picks!

Take care all.

I didn't participate this year since Maryland wasn't in the tournament, so I didn't feel like doing my brackets.

But Kansas and Syracuse falling in the first round really shocked me. I mean these 2 programs have been elite for the past 20 years or so. Good thing I didn't pick my bracket because I NEVER would have picked Kansas or Syracuse to drop the first game.

Duke squeaking by a #16 seed shows me Duke will be ousted in the next round. Duke always bombs a #16 seed. But eh, I guess the ACC is 5-0 with Wake, UNC, Duke, NC State, and Ga Tech. The only perfect conference with 3 or more teams in.
