Yesterday. Hoping for a similar day today.

That is a good opening round, missed a few games myself.
I actually set up two brackets, one with more upsets.
For example, I picked UC-Irvine in today's games.
Went an unacceptable 12-4 yesterday  
MetsAreBack : 3/22/2019 9:55 am : link
Nevada and Belmont both choked, assholes.

Picking Seton Hall was just stupid on my part but Kentucky should win Saturday regardless.

Moving on... we're due for a major upset today, hopefully not UNC
Belmont stung, I really thought they'd pull that one out  
Greg from LI : 3/22/2019 10:01 am : link

11-5  
BIG FRED 1973 : 3/22/2019 10:03 am : link
for me ,i knew i should have stayed with my Florida and Murray St picks ,i changed them yesterday morning like a moron lol not making that mistake today .
In some upsets...  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 3/22/2019 10:07 am : link
I took Oregon, UC Irvine, & Liberty today.
Fran McCaffrey could get the boot  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 3/22/2019 11:19 am : link
if Iowa loses this one and he throws another tantrum.
And away we go!

I guess I under estimated the SEC  
figgy2989 : 3/22/2019 12:28 pm : link
I had Auburn, Florida and LSU losing.

Thats what I was banking on with Yale. If they could have just hit on a few of those 3's, they win that game.
I immediately regret picking Ole Miss to win

That was a flop by the Cincy kid

I'm off to a really shitty start. I have Iowa upsetting Cinci and Ole Miss upsetting Oklahoma
Ole Miss could give up 50+ this half

Ole Miss over Oklahoma shouldn't have been an upset. They are the 8 seed. An utterly embarrassing performance today.
50-33 at the Half  
Anakim : 3/22/2019 1:31 pm : link
Ole Miss? More like Ole Piss.

AmIrite?
Refs certainly swallowed their whistles there  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 3/22/2019 1:31 pm : link
Ole Miss kind of fouled that whole possession.
These flagrant reviews are out of control  
MetsAreBack : 3/22/2019 1:47 pm : link
It's just so way overboard

Love how Cincinnati essentially gets home games this weekend as a 7 seed. Tennessee can't be happy. It's nonsense.
There's a stoppage on EVERY SINGLE play  
Anakim : 3/22/2019 1:54 pm : link
in this Iowa/Cinci game
Cincinnati might want to get the ball  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 3/22/2019 2:13 pm : link
to Cumberland. Just a thought, considering he's the best player on the floor.
Wonderful choke job by Cincinnati

At least Iowa came back  
Anakim : 3/22/2019 2:15 pm : link
But Ole Miss is just shitting the bed. Good grief. Ah well, neither OK or Ole Miss is beating Virginia.

Not so fast. Amateur hour against the full court press.
They need a central command  
MetsAreBack : 3/22/2019 2:19 pm : link
This type of delay over a second is absurd.
If Cronin loses this one  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 3/22/2019 2:22 pm : link
How long is his leash - can't seem to get over the hump.
Clock operator on drugs today?

Surely a billion dollar industry can do better
6-0 for big10 so far  
MetsAreBack : 3/22/2019 2:30 pm : link
Though I would not put money on Ohio state later
C'mon, UC Irvine!

You sweating, Greg?

Because I'm fucking sweating
Lol UVA - it's early but ....

I'm watching Texas tech because I'm lazy ... whoever thought up this hook and hold review rule needs to be shot.

Better not! TN is my pick for the finals losing to Duke. My 'unsafe' pick.

UVA

being hammered by GW. Looks like they will lose again as a #1 seed to a #16. Their defense and shooting have been awful.

again doesn't have his team ready to play in the biggest tournament of the year.
UVA..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 3/22/2019 3:43 pm : link
looks like it could repeat as the biggest choker in the world!!

I'm sure they will pull it out, but what the hell are they doing?
Wow, nightmare scenario, geez....

not sure of anything. GW basically has a free run at the basket on most possessions. Where is that vaunted Virginia defense?
There is no way UVA loses this game.

Didn't the Giants have some rando LB from Gardner-Webb?

In like 2005 or something?
