Raptors Republic Madness!

[Apollo]

TOLEDO, OH—Noting that he simply ran out of time this year, 32-year-old Collin Buckley admitted to reporters Wednesday that he may not have done enough research to take all the fun out of filling out his NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament bracket. “I actually enjoyed putting some of this together, which makes me wonder if I spent enough time reading conflicting articles about which teams are poised to pull off upsets,” said a visibly disappointed Buckley, adding that while he consulted the RPI rankings and read most of the 34 matchup summaries by ESPN analyst Jay Bilas, he still took some pleasure in making certain picks based purely on his gut feeling or his hatred of certain schools. “I put Texas in the Final Four just because I like [head coach] Shaka Smart, and I have Duke going out in the second round since it’d be fun to see them get dumped so early, so I probably didn’t analyze as much of the data as I should have in order to turn this into a totally and utterly joyless experience.” Buckley added that, at the very least, he invested enough time to guarantee he will not enjoy any of the amazing and inspiring upsets he failed to pick.

I'm toast now. All my final four teams are gone. Props to Villanova, they battle as hard as any team I've seen. We'll see how they do against Oklahoma

[DanH]

Oklahoma's all I've got left, though I've got them going to the finals.

I'm tryna ride that Virginia wave to the finals. Not much else action left. Few people have UNC brackets going

[Axel]

Is it possible that no one wins?

Pffft I'm hoping UNC can bring me back-to-back titles!

I was leading for a while but my bracket fell apart when Kansas and Gonzaga lost. Looks like Joey is in the best position to win right now, go Syracuse

So, who won and how many points?

I'm surprised I wasn't that far off. I stopped following my bracket the instant Michigan State lost.

As Axel said, I pretty much stopped following the second Sparty lost.
