Their flagship university's men's basketball side is down 24-13 to Milwaukee's Alternative to College (typically, this nominative used to describe the local technical college, but I have a tremendously low opinion of UWM, as an academic institution, so I transpose it). Go Panths!

And I have Niagara advancing past Oklahoma. My upset SPECIAL. Not looking promising, though.

We both lose a little bit of ground, then. mmmkay?

Yeah, so much for my run in the Obner/March Madness Tourney.

Hoping for a 2nd half comeback.

Yeah, out of these first 4 games...at the half I have 3 wrong, and 1 right. (Kentucky).

I'm really hoping Niagra pulls this one out though.

Kentucky is fierce;

This UW/Milwaulkee are fighting like dogs and Alabama is laying down. They are openly being outclassed.

Me too, but all four 5-12 games were tough calls. Ended only picking G Dub to upset. Oops.

Pitt's got time to comeback. If they win and OU holds, I'll be 3 for 4.

As long as you don't shit where you eat... But, I won't be going to the UWM Student Union anytime this evening, for that reason: I expect plenty of drunken, public defecation.

This is a longshot, but what the heck-

I missed the deadline for setting my semis & final by 2 minutes (I threw my tantrum in another thread). All my other brackets are set. If yahoo still totals everything I have that's complete - the 4 regional brackets- could I stay in it for obner (cd?) purposes?

I'll call my semis here:

Illinois
Wake
Florida
Duke

Illinois over Florida in the final, 77-65.

Is this okay with you guys? If yahoo doesn't give me points for my regional brackets, I'll bow out- that would be too complicated. But if they do, figuring me in by hand from the final 4 on wouldn't be hard.

I won't win anyway, so this is probably for nothing. But I'd like to stay in the running, if I can.

So my girlfriend and I are doing brackets on paper. (son of a bitch, she just went 4 for 4). And I don't really know how to keep score. Do we still get points if like in the second round, we picked one of the teams to move on, but didn't even have the other team in that game? or what. damn, i'm dumb.

Damn that is my final as well. And my final score added up 142 also.

You basically get points for every correct team you have in each round. One way to do it is 1 point for every first-round winner, 2 points for every team in your sweet sixteen that makes it, and so on...

Since Alabama's out, we're down to 15 of our sweet 16 left.

Ok ok, so like in the second round, I have UW playing Pitt. And I have UW beating Pitt. Even though Pitt just lost to Pacific, if UW beats Pacific, I still get the same amount of points?
