Hi everyone,

I have created a March Madness group on ESPN for those interested in competing for the glory of picking the best bracket this year.


Seeing that this is year 1 for me doing it here, this will NOT be for any money. However, if there's enough interest this year then I would be open to a real money pool, pending CC approval.


The link is here: http://games.espn.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2018/en_CA/group?groupID=2229514


The password to join: Cardschat


Come one...come all!!!!

I haven't sat down yet to see the full bracket, but while Villanova is one of the top seeds I don't see them getting there this year... Just a pure gut feeling but

UVA and Nova are both overrated.
Jay Billas knows less than John Snow!

HA...I like that. I think Nova's overrated too - I loved them a couple of years ago when they won...crazy game that was. I don't like them to win this year but after going through the bracket I have them going deep.

14 hours left to get in!!!

Love the Orange - especially if they can score 12k points in a game - well done TruTV.

This year....not so much.

I'll give it a try despite knowing very little about college basketball. I have completed my bracket.

That's the beauty of this - you don't need to know a lot about college basketball. The number of upsets that are possible, half the games in round 1 & pretty well anything past that are coin flips.

Who else?? Brackets lock roughly in 5 hours....

Well 51 people out of over 17 million picked all 16 winners on day 1. Out of those in the CC group,

ThatGuy leads the way with 14/16 correct, missing on St. Bonaventure and Arizona
Ribby and myself are close behind with 13/16
OzExorcist got 12/16
t1riel has 11/16.


Someone I can't identify - espn99362707 got 10/16 but sent Arizona to cut the nets down in San Antonio - and they lost yesterday to Buffalo. So that's our first busted bracket.


16 more games today to finish the first round - can ThatGuy keep his bracket going, or will someone catch him from behind.

For someone that got 10/16 with no idea Id say you did pretty good. Today's a new day with a new slate of games, you could be right there by the end of the weekend - that's the fun of this tournament. After Friday it becomes really hard to predict!

I'm hoping as a fan of Syracuse they pull the upset off.


As a bracket owner that didn't pick them I hope the seeds work out the way they should.
