    I did a few. My real one I had UCLA beating Marquette. I did one for fun (I let ESPN do a random one, which i made a few minor changes) but in that one they had Houston winning it against Arizona. My Cinderella team this year is Providence which i had making it to the sweet 16
    well so much for the UCLA winning. I have no idea who's gonna win. Houston and Connecticut look pretty strong. I did have Miami in the final 4 in the midwest bracket (the only bracket I'm doing well in)

    In the men's bracket, I'm pulling for Princeton, Gonzaga, and FAU in that order.

    In the women's bracket, hoping my alma mater gets back-to-back championships. What Dawn Staley has accomplished here in Columbia is truly remarkable.

    I hope San Diego St beats Alabama. I can't stand Nate Oats and think he's the sleaziest of all the coaches in the SEC, which is saying something since that group contains John Calipari and Bruce Pearl.

    My bracket was pretty much nuked, but I was holding out hope with UCLA to win it all.

    haha! he does seem like an asshat.

    actually, I have no problem with Cal….he’s pretty upfront about what he’s trying to accomplish.

    No number 1 seeds on the elite 8 for the first time since ‘79. Can’t say I’m too shocked especially since the way this season has gone so far. I think the winner of the UConn/Gonzaga game will win the whole thing.

    Larry Bird's Indiana State was the #1 Seed(Midwest) in 1979 and made the Final 4 that year. 

    Indiana State lost to Michigan State in the Championship game. MSU had some player named "Magic" Johnson.

    I did read that this year is the  First time ever that no #1 Seed made the Elite-8.

    and the crazy thing was that game was played at the university of utah’s little 15,000 seat arena, just a few miles from me. now, they play it in football stadiums $$$ :angry:

    FAU to the Final Four. Great game

    Some power 5 school is going to pay Dusty May a lot of money to be their coach, if he wants it

    shaping up to be a great Final 4. texas may be the only villain left….and they’re really a football school….except they’re not really that, either.

    You could say the same about Miami. I wish both schools could lose that game.

    Other than that, I don't really care who wins the other games. I just want a chaotic, entertaining Final Four.
