Pick a Bracket Buster Continued

[Pa Jayhawk]

Darn Eracer, you closed the thread when it just started to get good and the talkin' was getting ready to start

So you having second thoughts on Florida and Kansas in the Final 4? Granted they wouldn't be the Final, but Villanova would meet KU in the second round should they both make it that far. I really think Nova will beat UK and mark the end of Tubby Smith at Kentucky. Had they not been in line for KU I would have picked them to go much further. Should make for an interesting game up here as we have a lot of friends who are Nova alumni and fans. Hopefully it doesn't mark the beginning of a long stretch of being knocked out by PA teams, after the Bucknell thing and all. (***Knocking on Wood***) Well, at least we should see the full game.

I have Florida in one of my two online brackets, and I'm the only one who has the Jayhawks in another. Both brackets are firmly entrenched at the bottom of the list, however (thanks to my bizarre need to pick a bunch of upsets).

Go Kansas!

That didn't last long
:laugh:
I'm in firm grasp of last place in my pool as well for the same reason of picking upsets, which I am usually fairly good at but not this year. This is in a pool of 39 people. Sad part is most of my upset picks where winning big at one point in the second half prior to falling apart.

Funny part is I usually hate staggered point polls based on round, because I am usually in first place up to around the Final 4-8 and then since I bet with my heart with KU, end up losing. This year it is a staggered point poll and the fact that only 4 people picked KU, I will win if I get my Final 4 and KU Wins regardless of earlier picks. I have KU meeting NC in the Finals, and Wisconsin and Texas A&M as my other 2. Almost thought it was over early as both Texas A&M and Wisconsin had to overcome huge deficits in the first round to win.
