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

[Crothian]

this has been a bad day for my bracket. But go UW-Mil these guys don't beleive they should have been happy just to make the dance. Sweet Sixteen, here they come!!!

My wife has UW-Milwaukee in the pool at work. It's a random pick each year, and when we saw she got UW-Milwaukee, we were like, "You've got to be kidding, a branch campus!?" We thought they would be out in the first game.

But look at what they're doing now! Way to go Milwaukee!

And I have UC in the pool, so we'll see if they can pull it out over UK tonight.

The way UW-Milwaukee are playing, I'd pick them over any team except for three. Unfortuantely they are going to be playing one of those three next week (illionios).

I find it highly annoying that the announcer keeps referring to UK as the 'Cats. In case he is unaware, both of these teams can be called the 'Cats. He really should use a moniker that actually distinguishes between the two teams.

UW-Milwaukee made their first appearance to the tourney 2 years ago and just lost to Notre Dame in the first round 70-69.

And UW-Green Bay is in the same league (Horizon). But to get to the big dance, you have to win your league Tourney. The last 12 seed team to make it to the sweet sixteen is Butler, which of course is in the same league.

Sports Illustrated had UW-Milwaukee beat both Alabama and Boston College but not Illinois.

The success that the Wisconsin Badgers has had lately is from coaches that coached at UW-Green Bay (Dick Bennett, who is now at Washington State) and UW-Milwaukee (Bo Ryan).


Peace and smiles

Oh, well. Looks like the 'Cats beat my 'Cats.

these wake threes are making me upset, for as good as west Virginia is playing they should have won by now

Well, they pulled it off. I had Wake in this game, but with my bracket hosed anyway, I was definitely pulling for WVA.

I actually had West Virginia, I have them as an elite Eight team so my bracket has some hope though I did only get 5 of 8 today.

and I'm at a loss on how ESPN is doing these second round points. The top 3 people in our bracket each got 5 of 8, yet one gets 100 pooints, one gets 80 points, and one gets 60 points.

I'm not sure everything's filtered through the system yet, but I'm pretty sure it's just a flat 20 points per game.
