[NCAA Tourney] Who's got their bracket filled out already?

[Ghostwind]

I think Rick Pitino's coaching experience is going to give them the edge against Washington (assuming they get past Georgia Tech). As for Gonzaga, I think Texas Tech is going to suprise them. Tech looks to be peaking at the right time. They only lost by 3 to Oklahoma St. in their tournament and if there is one coach in that bracket that knows how to win the NCAA, it's Knight. Of all the brackets, that one looks to be the most interesting and the one that is liable to see the most upsets.

I signed up, and have Illinois, Michigan St., North Carolina, and Louisville. Illinois wins.

Secondary pool: What's the over/under on the number of ENWorlders that will beat the "always pick the higher seed" entry I set up (Illinois over UNC in the final)?

I have watched not a minute of college basketball this year, although I did listen to about 3 minutes on the radio. Just not a fan.

If I join the espn site drothgery created can I steal one of the brackets and EN Worlder posted for use in my office pool? Otherwise I'll just fill on out randomly. Always good to participate, for the team spirit and all.

I won a few years ago at my office when Syracause (sp) won. I think it was in 2002.

Syracuse won 2003 (the year of Carmelo).

pick most of the higher seeds to win, but use a few upsets in the early rounds. But make sure most of the upset loose in the second or third round. Just some general advice from someone who also doesn't know a lot about the game, but pays attention to how the tourneies end up in past years. THere are some general trends that seem to happen.

The scoring system ESPN uses means that you can make mistakes in the early rounds and still do okay, but a cinderella team (10+-seed getting past the second round, or 6+ seed past the sweet 16) that doesn't pan out will kill you.
