my picks:

3 Kentucky

5 Gonzaga

7 Florida

8 FAU

9 Texas A&M

10 Drake

11 New Mexico

11 Oregon


NM is prob my favorite pick in this, dynamic guard trio including Mashburns kid and Bibby's nephew, reminds me of the Dee Brown/Deron Williams/Luther Head Illini squad

I wont have a chance to verify how many paid entries we have until late tonight because of crazy work day.

Last night I made one change to my entries. Removed Duquesne. I was like they aren't going to win this is silly.

I did the same after my 2nd pass review. Crap.

We have similar. Also New Mexico was one of my darlings. First year doing this, so should have put better thought into it. I originally had Oregon as well but opted out on them because I didn't see them getting past Creighton in the next round. But those 11 points would have been more valuable than Creightons run to three wins. Next year I'll be smarter!

Had Nevada which would have launched me to 5th with not a lot of people I see having them at all and they looked pretty great in spurts for about 32 minutes of play. Unfortunately college basketball is 40 minutes and they looked like the worst high school team on the planet for the final eight. 'Twas fun while it lasted.

Not a lot of people had them because we knew they were going to lose.

Holy **** I'm currently tied for 16th right now with Oregon in a tight game at halftime. Usually I reside in the 300-400 level. GO DUCKS!

Looks like Arcane Hero is the winner. So like $5K+?
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

Thanks to everyone who played. Winners were paid Sunday.

First place took home over 5K and second took over 2.5K. Not bad for simply picking some teams that you thought would advance

Just checked my final result and want you to know how much I resent this clumsy attempt at a humble brag.

I'm not sure why I haven't ever joined but I'm excited to do this next year.

For curiosity's sake, what teams did the winner choose?

You had to have NC State this year to have a shot. Everybody that finished in the top 100 had NC State as they had far and away the most points at 44. The next highest was Clemson at 18.
