I’ve had 1 good bracket in my whole life. That was the year UNC beat Illinois in the National Title game. I had Bama losing in the round of 32 to Boston College……they lost to Bruce Pearl and Milwaukee Green Bay or whatever they hell they were called in the rd of 64

I filled out 5 for this reason lol. They might all be trash but maybe one will turn out good.


I’m a big one bracket guy. Make your picks and ride with it. Bracket hedging is meh.

Why no Purdue?


After saying this Purdue may run the table but they are the prototype top seed to be upset by a 2-9 seed before the Final Four:

Freshman guards that are talented but have a lot of erratic games

Can score with anyone but has trouble getting defensive stops in close games

Have a friend who always fills out like 10 brackets and then tries to brag about the one that inevitably does pretty good. We of course give him shite because anyone can hedge their way to one good bracket out of 10. But he has no shame so our insults have no impact.

Yea I have a buddy who wins the pool every year but he enters 30, only talks about the winnings, never how much he paid out in total.

UConn made us look bad early in the season. That one big guy we couldn’t do anything with. Not sure how a rematch would play out.

I'm waiting for SOG to post his bracket after running Kenpom/Torvik/SOGGY combined metrics with the current injury status modifier formula so I can just copy it. I'll Venmo him 10% of my inevitable winnings.

UConn is a really tough team. Jay Bilas had them winning it all. Their bigs are a tough match up.

My exact final four.

Duke is the outlier here based on Kenpom:

Bama - 3
Duke - 21
Texas - 6
Uconn - 4

I do see a lot of people picking Duke out of the East though. I guess people just don't trust the top 4 seeds in that bracket: Purdue, Marquette, KSU, Tenn

I can see that. But that Edey giant for Purdue scares me, he is obviously just a complete matchup nightmare for everyone.
