I'm thinking a 50k buy in. Person who's bracket wins, wins the top prize. If no ones' bracket wins, the top prize goes to the person with the most wins. Second place and third place prizes depend on the amount of people that sign up. Selection Sunday is Today. I created a group on ESPN. It's looking like they're not including the play in games and aren't starting until Thursday. The group is located at MMA Tycoon Group. Once you guys send me the buy in, I'll send the password.

The chance to enter this is winding down. I got the settings set to "you can't join or leave after the round of 64 starts" that's tomorrow (Thursday). The last play in game is happening right now, Tulsa vs Michigan for the chance to play Notre Dame on Friday.

I lost on Purdue too. My nephew is taking Florida Gulf Coast over UNC.

I wasn't going to pick MSU because the way they played in the Big 10 Tournament but didn't think Mid Ten could beat them though for some reason I had MSU three rounds in, think I was asleep when I did that part of the bracket. And I have West Virgina going far but unless they make a run, they're going to get upset.

I had West Virginia going to the elite 8. This has been a tough year to do a bracket.

Nobody is perfect...

 

March Madness: Last perfect bracket busts after 26 games

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

With Stephen F. Austin's win over West Virginia on Friday night, the last remaining perfect NCAA tournament bracket has busted.

DatDudeCP, or Cole Parzych, had picked the first 25 games of the NCAA tournament correct in the NCAA March Madness Capital One Bracket Challenge, the official bracket game of the NCAA. Parzych was perfect through the Wisconsin win over Pittsburgh.

See his full bracket here.

Prior to the Maryland-South Dakota State game, there were also two perfect brackets at the ESPN game, but both picked the Jackrabbits. There were also no perfect brackets at the CBS, Yahoo and Bleacher Report games after the 15-2 MTSU upset over Michigan State.

"I am in shock right now," Parzych, a college freshman, told NCAA.com Friday afternoon when his bracket was still perfect.

Parzych, who said he doesn’t consider himself an avid college basketball watcher, said he wasn’t even following the tournament that closely on Thursday. But he was glued into the action after he checked his bracket on Friday morning and realized he was still perfect.

Parzych's riskiest pick that panned out -- and the one that helped separate himself from the field -- was his prediction that Middle Tennessee State University would take down Michigan State. More than 20 percent of brackets had Michigan State winning it all.

His rationale behind his pick had little to do with the teams involved in the game.

"I'm a Syracuse fan, and I picked them to move on to the Sweet 16 and thought the only way they could do that was if Michigan State lost in the first round," he said.

Parzych, a Syracuse, New York native, doesn't just have the Orange going to the Sweet 16, he is predicting Jim Boeheim’s 10th-seeded squad to win its first championships since they took down Kansas in the 2003 finals.

"I'm not feeling so good about that prediction," he said. "But maybe we can recreate some (2003) magic again since I have them beating Kansas in the title game."

Despite Parzych’s pessimism, it’d be hard to fully count Syracuse out right now, given how accurate he’s been so far with his picks.

Of course the only perfect bracket in the country belongs to a kid I play wiffleball with@DatDude___CP

Parzych was just short of correctly picking the entire first round correctly. In a look at the history of perfection with NCAA tournament brackets earlier this year, we found very few verified brackets ever remain perfect through 32 games.

In fact, 34 was the longest we could find on record, though online records and data hasn't existed in detail since the bracket expanded to at least 64 teams in 1985.

Looks like that mark is safe another year.

C'mon Indiana. I need a big win over Kentucky

I needed the opposite as I had Kentucky winning the whole thing, didn't happen.

Kentucky definitely hasn't been the Kentucky of "normal" for Calipari. Having watched a few Indiana games this season I am very impressed with the mix of a veteran backcourt guys and young big men.

Then Utah blew against Gonzaga.

 

Had Gonzaga winning that too! :thumbup:

 

I followed a lot of the conference tournaments since we had a few out here in Vegas this year and Utah looked bad against Oregon in the championship game and it exposed their weaknesses at the worst possible time.
