Wow, you all must really be analyzing and putting massive thought into your picks. Only 4 entries so far. You have until the first "real" game starts on Thursday of this week to enter. Let me know if you need an invite!

Glen...I entered my bracket. Can you check to see if it's there? You mentioned that there are others completed, but I'm not seeing them.

Just want to make sure that I'm doing this right.


EDIT....never mind. It looks like it's in there. If I look at it on the computer, I can see some asterisks in the Champion column, so I am assuming those are the completed brackets, but when I look on my iPad, I can't see them.

Well, regardless of how your picks turn out, you're guaranteed a top 10 finish at this point.

Only 7 entries so far? Come on Borgies. I know there are more than 7 of you out there who will at the very least watch SOME of the games over the next 3 weeks. Why not make it more interesting and give yourself some teams to cheer for? Entries are due by 10:30AM CT tomorrow (Thursday, March 19). Don't worry if you know nothing about college basketball. Studies have shown that flipping a coin or choosing based on the team color or mascot can be just as effective as trying to do research on the teams. It's easy (oh, and free!!!).

Send me an IM with your email address if you want to get in, and I'll send you an invite.
