While I did not expect Georgetown to lose today... They do have a history of being upset from time to time in first round. Ohio 2010 anyone?

You can never trust 2 seeds. I remember last year I had missouri to the final four and Norfolk St. crushed them.

Lord, that night session killed my bracket; missed everything I could miss. None of 'em were even close, either... guess I was just bored by the time I got around to picking those games? I don't know, but I did a sh*tty job of it.

Fell down to the bottom of the first page... still have a flickering hope of a top-3 finish, but that hope has been stabbed in a couple of pretty important arteries; bleeding out as we speak.

I have a couple make or break, high risk picks coming up today, maybe they'll work out for me. My upset pick for the day: 6 Butler takes out 3 Marquette.

I had Iowa State in the Final Four the year they lost to Hamption. Fun times!

Here are my dissapointments.

-Oklahoma State and Wisconsin going to the Sweet 16 (though I'm still not sure why I didn't pick their opponents, as I had my doubts)
-Pittsburgh (I haven't seen them play all year, mind you)
-Kansas State (who saw this coming, and stupid Angel Rodriguez)
-New Mexico (didn't think Belmont had it in them)
-UCLA (thought Muhammad, T. Wear and Drew III would do better)

AND THE BIGGEST ONE SO FAR...
-Georgetown (I was one of the 97.7% that had Georgetown winning. I even thought the Hoyas could make it to the Elite Eight. The sense of urgency in the game was too late

Edit: Right now, Harvard has built a 23-7 lead. Looks like you're next on the list, Arizona.

Minnesota way under rated.

Edit:
Wow did AZ come back... I still like them to win it all

I think you are very misinformed.. A couple of things very wrong with what you said:

-New Mexico (didn't think Belmont had it in them)


New Mexico didn't play Belmont. They played Harvard. Belmont lost to Arizona.

Right now, Harvard has built a 23-7 lead. Looks like you're next on the list, Arizona.


I think you looked at the score wrong. Arizona never trailed in the game. They were the team that was up 23-7.

On another note though, Oregon is showing everyone that they should have been seeded higher after crushing Oklahoma State and now beating the 4th seed right after they beat the 5th seed.. Pretty nice.

Yeah, I just realized this about 10 minutes after I logged off. Something didn't seem right...

^ Ditto.

Top Storylines

South

FGCU Keeps on rolling! They will get a shot at Goliath Florida for major bragging rights.

Michigan is looking hot. Will face a shaky #1 Kansas team.

West

#9 Wichita State will face # 13 La Salle in the sweet sixteen (battle of low seeds)

Ohio State and Arizona overcome doubters, look to capitalize on easy path to Final 4.

East

Marquette keeps on sneaking by!, ready to face biggest challenge yet against Miami.

#1 seed Indiana is looking real shaky, has to face Syracuse in sweet 16

Midwest

A potential Louisville Vs Duke Elite 8 showdown could make for a real awesome nail-biter, but not before some real tough sweet sixteen matchups.
