I guess it's time to fill out a half dozen or so brackets on ESPN. I haven't watched 1 game of college hoops this year. 

Go North Carolina 
Go Oregon! Quack Quack 
Take me piece by piece.....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    As a Gamecock fan, I'm glad we made it, but don't like the matchup with Oregon. I think their big guy Dante is going to kill us in the post.

    I’m in one of my ESPN brackets I’m perfect and ranked #1 (so far). 😀



     could be 8-0 if nevada and oregon hold on to win.

    Every three years or so I do well.  This isn't going to be one of those years!
    I don't really watch much hoops any more....but even people who watch it all got this wrong.

    What makes this fun!

    I'm the same. Every few years I have 1 bracket on ESPN that kicks ass. I literally did not watch 1 game this year. Tuesday I did about 30 minutes of homework, and filled out some brackets.
