So does anyone here run an NCAA basketball tourney? I used to do one using CBSsports but that was a few companies ago. I was wanting to get back into it again and was wondering if there was any interest here in someone running one?
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

We've run a few Bracket tournaments through ESPN here in the past.

I'd be down.

By the by, I was 3/3 for winning. So I'd love to beat you all down. :(

I guess I can set something up and then spam peoples inboxes to get them to sign up and fill out a bracket. A three player pool doesn't sound all that exciting. but the odds of winning should be about as good as you'll find anywhere.

So far it's only three people. HD, Shin is this even worth it for 3 people?

We are suppose to pm you our picks. Umm I can barely go to a web site to hit random and let a retarded computer pick them. To ask me to then PM the picks to you is going way over board.

No you were suppose to pm me the e-mail address you wanted me to send an invite to. It's all irrelevant anyway as the first round is half over. I couldn't even fill out the bracket on the CBSSports site as they have a minimium IE explorer requirement that I don't have nor wanted so I couldn't even fill one out. I went over to the ESPN website and threw one together without much thought. My bracket is pretty much busted already. I didn't pick a single Pac-12 team to win a game and so far they went 3-0 with two 12 seeds upsetting 5s. Though Oregon as a 12 seed was a joke. They should have been seeded at least 3 spots higher in my opinion. Let's see if Colorado and UCLA can continue the ride.

CBS's bracket site is fucked. We figured that one out quickly. ESPN is quick and dirty and easy to use.

That being said, way to go Wisconsin and Georgetown, lol.

Georgetown was a bit of a shocker. I'm just happy as long as a NC uni makes it to the F4.

No dedicated thread so I'll put it here. Dean Smith is dead.

Half of North Carolina will be in mourning for the next week. The other half will be muttering "Coach K has more wins". Under their breath of course because, hey, they're blue devils and don't want their asses kicked.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver did a great take down of the NCAA for not paying athletes.
