Title: 2008 NCAA Tournament Bracket @ Yahoo
Post by: JohnH on March 11, 2008, 03:59 PM
Hey kids.  I try to make it my annual duty to set up an NCAA Tournamenet bracket league at Yahoo, and I took the liberty to do so today.  While the selection doesn't start until Sunday, you're welcome to set up your team and get your picks done after the bracket selection is concluded on Sunday.  Here's the info:

I'm in too, thanks. 

In a telling move, my fantasy profile dropped by 2% as soon as I entered.  ???

I'm in.  Hopefully I'll fare better than I have in NBA Fantasy Basketball.

I'm 3-0 so far, but there is still a ton of basketball left to be played.

Well that didn't last long...  9 of 12...  F-ing Kansas State!!!  I'm not at all mad about the 8vs9 seed games that I lost.  In most cases those are a toss up.  But Kansas F-ing State?!  Thankfully I didn't have USC going past the next round.

I had K-State beating USC.  :)

Unfortunately I also had two other 11s beating 6s.  Meh.

No major complaints for me so far except Georgetown.  Not only are they the only team I really follow aside from KU, I also had them going to the Elite 8.  :(  I'm sitting at 11/16 in the Sweet 16...hopefully I've picked those games correctly and I'll still have 7/8 in the Elite 8. 

Carolina's offense is booming.  I worry about how the 'Hawks might fare in the Final 4 against the Heels.

So much for West Virginia. >:( Not that they would've stood a chance against UCLA in the Elite Eight. That was my one sorta sleeper pick for the Elite Eight.

What a surreal feeling.  I remember being excited when they last won it (I was 14 at the time) but it was nothing like it is now.  Definitely one of the best basketball games I have ever watched and probably ever will.  Makes me sad that the season's over, but I think I'll get over it.  :)

And congrats to I am Sith for finishing out the bracket in first place!

Thanks John!  I honestly thought that after Duke lost I was out of the running...

Really great game last night, and I was happy to see the Jayhawks win it.  If it couldn't be UNC, I wanted it to be Kansas :).  I thought they were likely out of it when they were down nine with just over two minutes to go, a great comeback.  As a side note - is it just me, or does Billy Packer annoy the bejeezus out of anyone else when he announces these games.  I don't know, but every year during the Final Four he seems to say a few things that just make me think he doesn't know what he's talking about.  Anyways - congrats to KU.

I could not believe Memphis missed so many Free Throws at the end, that bank shot by Rose was amazing but so was the final shot in regulation by Chalmers.  That was probably the most of a College Hoops game I've watched in 3 years (PS EVERYTHING is so much better in HD ;))

It was a fun tourney to watch and to play the brackets.  Thanks JohnH for setting this up, and Congrats to you, I AM SITH, for coming out on top!

I hope Love and Collison stay in school to help the Bruins make another run next year in the tournament.   ;)

Really?  I take it that you didn't see Memphis play that much this year?  Their horrid free throw shooting was their main weakness.  When you're blowing teams out, it doesn't matter much, but when a team can keep it close, you really have to make your foul shots.  Kansas knew full well about this shortcoming, and they exploited it to their advantage.
