Okay anybody else have your brackets in?

I have 6 seed Marquette over 11 seed Washington in the East.

Let the tournament begin!

What a shock.

The Cooger picked Marquette over the Dawgs.

Who'd you pick in WSU's match-up?

Oh that's right...............never mind.

Here's wishing the Huskies my best. And hoping they represent the PAC 10 with class.....

I did pick Cal. Also picked Louisville. Hey they beat Syracuse twice. My highest seed is Kansas State. I do have New Mexico and they could face Marquette in the second round. Marquette played Syracuse close. Face it the Huskies won the Pac-10 in a down year.

I know my Hoosiers aren't going to win it.

Don't you Coog fans find it interesting that Bone said he would not accept any offers to any post season tournament? I don't quite understand the reasoning behind that.

Here's my break-down.....

Kansas is obviously the overall favorite, but I think they have by far the toughest road with Maryland or MSU to get through first, then OSU or Georgetown. I'll take the Georgetown/OSU winner outta this region instead of the favorite.

I like Syracuse out of their region...

I can see Kentucky making the Final Four, maybe, but I think their crappy perimeter shooting will fail them somewhere along the line. I would love to see Cornell advance and send them packin'.....

Nova will beat the Dukies to advance to the Final Four in their region.

I expect two teams from the Big East in the Final Four. Who will win? Hell if I know....but it should be a good one!

I love the tournament.

It is so serious in our office, that we take the pool money out of our paychecks. Trash talking is reaching a feverish pitch right now. My accountant is in it, and I e-mailed him yesterday and told him to start filling out my 1099 for the winnings (how's that for nerd trash-talk?).

We have set up the conference room to watch the games, and office admin gave me a envelope with $60 for beer.

I have won 2 yearst straight, this is the 3-peat year.

I have a formula I pretty much live by. It goes:

1) Senior guards with tourney experience,
2) Coaches with tourney history
3) Talented forwards

Then I look at injuries, and how they fared down the stretch in-conference.

I don't like Tucky this year. They have great talent, and the coach (who I despise), but are too young for me. I can see Wisconsin beating them by ugly-ing up the game and causing them to crack. I have the Jayhawks winning it all, but still working on my brackets.

"I have the Jayhawks winning it all, but still working on my brackets."

That's about as far as I've made it myself!

This thing is wide open, but I have Kansas taking the whole enchilada. About 6 weeks ago, I would have picked my Longhorns, but in the wake of their inexplicable death drop in Big 12 play, I have a hard time picturing them making the Sweet 16, and I won't be a bit surprised to see them lose in the first round.

Syracuse would have been a favorite if not for their recent misfortune with injuries. I HATE to say it, but maybe Duke will make a lot of noise....

gooooo Buckeyes!!!

OD was under-seeded. Notre Dame's leading scorer 22/game only had 2 points. I had O.D. Bracket is pristine so far, but Villanova barely escaped.

What a great start to March Madness -
A 1 point game, a double OT and single OT.

Had ODU as well. Also have Murray State over Vandy - up 4 at half!

Why do people like basketball so much?

Do the Vandals have a basketball team?

I have ASU, just cant find em on my damn Bracket...

Games have been great so far. I am going on a liquid lunch here in a few minutes. This is just not a good day to get much done.

In honor of national betting/hungover day and the fact that I am truly a closet Marquetteee fan...10 spoon/spinner wager available for first 5 Dawg fans that PM me before tipoff...cheers

My bracket now only has a sweet 15. Major buzzkill, Vandy.

Yeah, my bracket pics are not off to a banner start.... missed it on the Vandy, Notre Dame, & Richmond games... Ouch.... Butler & UTEP are neck & neck (picked UTEP)....37 - 36 UTEP with 16 min and change left in the 2nd... com'on Fellas....

GOOOO get'em DAWGS !!!

Pretty sloppy start of the second half for the Huskies. Too many offensive boards by the opponents, too many turnovers by the Dawgs.

I was real close to taking that spoon bet...Glad I didn't as they are down 15.
