Mizzou out in the first round...typical. At least SLU advanced only to have to face Mich. St. I suppose like everyone else, the bracket is busted...

Not terribly surprising, IMO - they got a lucky draw in the weakest region in the tournament. One team that's mildly surprised me is Cincy, but they've been playing pretty well down the stretch. Now, I'm really hatin' on FSU...again...
True... We were talking about that weak (*)(*)(*)(*) last week, I believe... And, I thought FSU would be playing Ohio State...
Me, too. FSU was one team in my Elite Eight that didn't turn out to be very elite. It appears that they peaked at the end of the ACC tournament...
I lost a quarter of my E8, and the way things are going I'm sure to lose more. Syracuse looked pretty good the other day. Maybe they're finally getting things turned around (God forbid)...
Let's see Up on the Governor has 9 of the 16 teams still left... I have 6 of the 16. Therefore for those of us who actually posted our brackets; she's leading...as we both picked Kentucky to win the tournament... I'll concede the March Madness PF crown to Up on the Governor... I don't think either one of us followed college b-ball based on our pronogstication abilities... good thing it's just for fun. Now where is that slice of crow pie. I thought SLU played admirably against MSU...no shame in their performance in the tournament. They beat a good Memphis team who many predicted would advance. Mizzou Tigers on the other hand, fizzle out in the 1st round...as is typical...yet another disappointing tournament performance.
I went the safe route in almost every game and picked the higher seed...the result was dismal. Sure I ate some crow thinking Wisconsin wouldn't advance deep. I agree, I think this is where Syracuse goes down.
I initially had Syracuse going to the Final Four, but, after they lost Fab Melo right before the tournament kicked off, I readjusted and have Syracuse getting knocked off by Wisconsin, who, by my bracket, will go to the Final Four... We'll see though...
I got suckered into picking Mizzou to go to the Final 4. But I agree, St.Louis played admirably against MSU & could of almost pulled it out. I was rooting for 'em, but it wasn't to be. I was happy to see Cincy, Marquette, Ohio & N.C.St. make it. Take your dogs where you can find 'em.
