FFR Pick'Em: March Madness Edition

[U.N. Owen]

Just got a call from my dad. Chances are pretty good that I'm heading to LA on Thursday to watch the Wichita State game and the Elite Eight game on Saturday if they win.

Have never been to a "big time" basketball game before, so hopefully plans work out. Would be exciting.

[lumphoboextreme]

Picks 1-2 are still pending tonight and 5-6 aren't NCAA bets so just posting some of these. My bracket might be in 24th place but I'm cashing in on these games.

Also I apparently cropped 1 wrong lmao

[lumphoboextreme]

PS this is my bracket yeah I know its bad

[igotrhythm]

I'm glad I didn't do round-by-round now. The people that did just got dunked.

Literally.



Florida Gulf Coast becomes the first 15 seed to advance to the Sweet 16 after an 81-71 victory over San Diego State. ##

(solid bracket, Lumph...23/32 in the second round!)

[lumphoboextreme]

SIGH fk you ole miss.

[eastsideman09]

I would be in MUCH better shape if it were just Pitt instead of Wichita. I'd be able to overcome pretty much everything else, in all of my brackets a;klsdjf;qo3ijwefasdlkf

Thanks to Miami, my East bracket finishes with 8/15. (I had Butler beating NC State in the Elite Eight.)

Now I just need Ohio State to win the Wild West to save that region, though South is still looking good and Midwest is salvageable if Duke beats Michigan State.

With the 16 survivors of the BRUTALITY that happened all over the nation now traveling to their next Thunderdome match, let's take a look at the scores.

Dark_Chrysalis is starting to extend his lead, but can the rest of the pack catch up? Only time will tell.

Dark_Chrysalis - 35
DayMan951 - 33
U.N. Owen - 33
igotrhythm - 32
eastsideman09 - 32
megamon88 - 31
A s h e r - 30
funmonkey54 - 29
DotKritic - 28

Random facts:

Two people went 4 for 4 in a region this round: Eastsideman in the East (lol) and Unowen in the Midwest.

Megamon and Unowen had the strongest third rounds, both of them scoring an impressive 11 of their Sweet Sixteen picks.

[DayMan951]

wtf i can't believe i'm still in the running

[lumphoboextreme]

l0l anyone else believe in cuse tonight?

[eastsideman09]

In any bracket I had Cuse upsetting Indiana, I had them losing to Miami in the next round -_______-

[lumphoboextreme]

I made 15 brackets over multiple money leagues and have cuse in the final four in about 6-7. Have them as national champs in one lmfao.

This thread is awfully dead.

I hate having my account balance end in a weird number that's why my bets are sometimes odd amounts.

PS <3 Trey Burke.

[DayMan951]

i had a pretty good day the last two days and moved up to the 96.5% on espn. i was around 70% last round i think. and i think i have a pretty good shot at taking this thing

[igotrhythm]

Okay, guys, with the Elite Eight determined, let's take a look at the scores. With me facing a possible GBan violation (depends how A2P wants to roll with it), maybe you guys could keep track of your own scores? Not like I have a chance anymore.

FUCK YOU TREY BURKE

Anyway, I'm sitting at 36 with the advancement of Louisville, Duke, Ohio State and Florida, with a max possible of 40 if Ohio State moves on to the Final Four and Duke wins it all.

Edit: FUCK IT ALL. Ohio State AND Duke go down. I finish at 36. PM me with who wins the pool, I'm just...ugh.

Crosspost from another forum I go to:

Picking Michigan State was a gamble, so I'm not too upset that they lost.

P.S. A few pics from the games:

Only kept his one because of the Ohio State fan glaring at me lmao.


Where we started out.


The layup that almost sent the Ohio State/Arizona game into overtime. Decided not to resize it.


Start of second half for the Wichita State/La Salle game. This is just to show the section we moved to.


Where we ended up. Yes, we obtained permission to be down here.

[DayMan951]

Right now i have 39 points with 6 more possible points if everything goes perfect

[igotrhythm]

God dammit, Buckeyes. Way to forget how to play basketball. Run your offensive sets, drive the lane, get the dirty baskets, crash the boards and lay off the treys if they aren't falling.

Wichita State moves on, 70-66, because Ohio State decided that it was time to get serious with 11 minutes to go and down by 20 instead of right from the tip. -_-

[DayMan951]

just another reason to hate ohio state i guess. way to let me down. right when i was starting to get hype for my bracket

[eastsideman09]

hngggggggggggg my bracketsssssssssss
