Not sure what you mean. If you follow college basketball - you know what a bracket challenge is ;)

Is this the same one as last year? And if so, does that mean I already have an account? How do I recall my name and password? Or would it just be easier to create a new account?

John

We used ESPN last year so yes - you should be able to use your same account. As far as user name or password recovery, you'll have to check there.

Once again, we'll be in Disney World for the Sweet 16. Hopefully, my Mountaineers will be in the Sweet 16 again! We'd like another crack at UofL.

I had to do some digging to find my account as well. I couldn't recall my username, but I found a place to enter my email and password, and that brought it up.

I'm in! Let the madness begin! :basket:

A loserville fan in my state? :confused: The only thing worse would be if you were a UT fan pulling for Loserville! Talk about a double whammy!:thumbsup:

Just kidding......sorta. Go Tigers!

I'm not actually a "Loserville" fan, I'm an Auburn fan but I picked Louisville in my bracket. I just want the free shirt...LOL

Second prediction this week I saw today with my flyers getting in the Elite 8. A longshot - yes - but that's what I love about college basketball!

I just had to try this again. Since I am the reigning Champion I want to show you how it is done. Get ready to weep when I take this again.. :thumbsup: lol....

I'm in too. Ready to see how things unfold and who the "Cinderella team" is this year. This is one of the things missing from college football. There is no possible way of a "Cinderella team" since they use the BCS. Takes away from the sport if you ask me.

I signed up, first time doing this through here. Usually do fairly well, have been able to pick the final games the last 2 years.

I'm in, I think. First time ever trying this, so hopefully I did it right. Not a college b-ball follower, so I'm sure I'll be lurking somewhere in the basement, but hey, it'll be fun to see the points!

I don't follow college b-ball much, but always enjoy doing the brackets.

The Tigers had better get it together quickly. Down by 3 with 8 1/2 minutes to go. To Cal State-Northridge.

Congratulations, John! Your boys sure did bust a lot of brackets this afternoon, including mine. I had West Virginia in the Elite Eight.

Just wanted to be the first to post.

We also just lost our last perfect bracket in our group in the second group of games today :(

Pittsburgh definitely was scaring me for most of their game today. That was a little too close for comfort, especially for my National Championship pick...

John

America - I give you Chris Wright. Go back and watch his 4-5 dunks from today. If the same team that beat WVU today shows up against Kansas, anything is possible.

Woo hoo! Made it through the 1st round with just a few wrong picks. And only one of the wrong picks affects my second round choices. And to top it all off, for now I'm in 1st place. My bracket is doing so much better this year than last year when it fell apart in the 1st round.

How the heck does Wake Forest lose to Cleveland State, for heaven's sake! What a loser squad that is ... I had Wake going to the Sweet Sixteen. :thedolls:

I had Wake in the final 4. Should have known better after watching the Maryland game with them last week. Go Heels

Well, I can at least claim first place after the first weekend is complete. I'd rather claim first place after the whole thing is complete, but I'm not counting on that, so I'll just celebrate the small victories and feel superior in my basketball knowledge (though I should have known better than to not pick Dayton) for the next 5 minutes. I'm sure next weekend will bring me back to reality. :D

I actually feel pretty proud to be in 17th place! :secret:
Can't wait for next weekend!

Thanks, Linda. It was fun while it lasted, but I knew my bubble would burst eventually. :D

I hear you- I am totally done now- had Syracuse to take it all!!

I must say I'm pretty happy about Nova- even though I didn't pick them to get past the Sweet 16!

Ian

Pretty happy about those 'Cats!

Even though they totally messed up every single bracket I had. ;)

My bracket spiraled down faster than Space Mountain today. So long PItt and Louisville.

woohoo...after much time on the second and third page of the rankings my villanova/NC picks came through and put me tied for 30th...not much to brag about I know, but 65 place rise in the ranking is surely worth a minor celebration.:cloud9:

You sure aren't the only one. Had 4 of the Elite Eight, and I don't have 1 team picked in the Final Four. There go my chances :(

I'm loving this thing all the way to the end this year!!!
Even though second is first looser, I am still stoked about the possibility of a t-shirt!!
