I've never seen so many favorites struggle. Miami struggled, big-time. Indiana was an inch from being beaten by Temple today--Temple played TOUGH, physical defense. Iowa State was killed by a bad call very late in game and nearly beat OSU. Many if not most of the underdogs play good defense, and just play looser than the favorites. Gonzaga never really impressed me that much, though I like the team and the coach. And we're only in the second round!

ESPN - Tournament Challenge - drewsky684 1

That's my espn bracket. If miami survives, I'm still in good shape to place high or maybe win Fans of TN group. Here on VN, my elite 8 and onward is good, but I need miami to win as I have them as champs

Idk what ESPNs prizes are I know winner and didn't figure there were more than say top 3 get anything...all I was saying was mathematically I'm guessing there's no way you can finish top 3, or probably even top 100. I'm sure there's a lot of people in front of you who have the same future games that you do, thus no way you can pass them.

We all knew this would be a year for upsets, but it has been even more crazy than I thought.

Yeah, there's no way I could win the whole thing on espn, but if creighton wins (which they're not apparently), I was thinking I could finish high on the "Fans of Tn" group witch only has like 9K entries. That miami win put me here:

POINTS 430
PCT 94.0%
RANK 486,556

(tied for 477 on Fans of TN)

But when creighton loses, It's going to hurt pretty bad.

If I win out here on VN, I think I could finish top 25 for sure (if creighton loses, I'll have 5/8 E8 and all four final four, so winning all would be a must)

I think Creighton heats up soon, but it has to be within the next two to three minutes to have a shot at the upset or their season's ending in a 50 point effort.

gaytlorlandfan, just curious, what is your connection to UT?

I had Wichita State winning the first 2 games but nothing further than that. One guy in our group has them in the Final 4. Good pick.

McDermott with 15 of Creighton's 32. Creighton has no chance unless someone steps up and helps Doug out, because all Duke has to do is focus their entire defense on him.

@govols...man that's risky putting Michigan to take it all, but if it works, you'll beat out a TON of competition
