MontrealExposloveZippy Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 1 hour til the Madness begins...Other than the Zips, I'm really cheering for Valpo, they have to have the coolest name in the tourney. Good luck on your brackets- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbozeglav Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 This was one difficult bracket to fill out. I dont have much confidence in the top seeds and there are a lot of potential upsets out there. I went slightly more chalk than I was intending to go, but thats how the matchups fell. And yes, I have the Zips going to the Sweet 16. Might as well make them my cinderella, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I have the Zips going to the Sweet 16. Might as well make them my cinderella, right? psh! I had them taking the whole damn tamale. Of course, I made more than one bracket up, but I put money on all of them. I back up my picks. lol Other teams that I extended a notable distance past their chalk lines, are St.Louis and Cal. I had Wisconsin getting past Kansas State and Colorado beating Illinois. Those are in my risk bracket. But I figure if Akron is going to beat VCU and Michigan, might as well have them getting glory against Kansas and Indiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akzipper Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Valpo is getting smashed by Michigan State right now. Hopefully our game is at least close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB1719 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 St. Mary's just played one heck of a game to lose in the final seconds. Memphis squeaks out of a physical game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUAkronG Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I missed my 14 see Davidson's upset over 3 seed Marquette by 1 point. Davidson had the game where they wanted it but Marquette finished on a 13-5 run to win by 1. d'oh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipgrad1990 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Every other 12 seed won. Makes you wonder if we could have beat any of the other 5 seeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Marshall Henderson has single handedly made me hate Ole Miss. Not sure how anyone can be a fan of him. Im a huge fan. Not saying he is great, but he did carry Ole Miss to the win today. I mainly love his personality/passion. some of his acts this season http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjkiebus/this-is-h...ncaa-tournament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Wow. First #2 seed falls as Georgetown gets whipped by #15 seed Florida Gulf Coast, 78-68. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akzipper Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Wow. First #2 seed falls as Georgetown gets whipped by #15 seed Florida Gulf Coast, 78-68. Georgetown has always been prone to upsets since JT3 took over. Aside from their Final Four run, they've had very little success in the tournament.

GoZips88 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Florida Gulf Coast seemed to have a lot of good movement off of the ball. Busted my bracket up a bit but not sorry to see GT go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akzipper Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 In a single day, Gonzaga, Butler and VCU all fall short of the Sweet 16. Seems like Gonzaga always gets knocked out early in the tournament. Maybe only one Elite 8 run that I can remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 For fans of Marshall Henderson, which part of his character do you admire most, that his probation was revoked after he reportedly tested positive for alcohol, marijuana and cocaine, or that the reason he was on probation in the first place is because he was found guilty in a case which stemmed from buying marijuana with counterfeit money?

zippy5 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Nice. Let's just combine this with the Abreu thread and Diggs talk and we can have an easy place to rip on 20 year olds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 For fans of Marshall Henderson, which part of his character do you admire most, that his probation was revoked after he reportedly tested positive for alcohol, marijuana and cocaine, or that the reason he was on probation in the first place is because he was found guilty in a case which stemmed from buying marijuana with counterfeit money? ESPN link I'm neither a fan nor a detractor, but if I had time to concern myself with a guy we won't hear from again after next year, it would be the buying pot with counterfeit money. I have this vision of him printing the money on Mississippi's best dot matrix printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
