NCAA Tournament

Duke has the most raw talent. When they put aside their individual ambitions and play as a team they are really good. I have them winning.

What individual ambitions affected their play down the stretch? Not saying you're wrong. I didn't follow closely enough nor hear that as the accepted reason for general inconsistency.

Thankfully, my bracket has stayed pretty decent at the moment. All of my misses were one game misses except for Iowa who I had making the Final Four.......ouch

Too often they fell into a one on one mode where it looked like they were showing off.

Oof. I picked Richmond. Figured this was their 1 year in 8 to actually win a tournament game.

Why do you think Duke has an easy path? I look at the potential H2H with Texas Tech and think the Red Raiders are outright the better team. Then most likely Gonzaga or Arkansas awaits.

I have Duke making the Sweet Sixteen and then losing to TT. I should have phrased a little better. I thought they had an relatively easy path the opening weekend.
Duke is really good offensively, but they have been suspect defensively for weeks now.

VT is going to kill my bracket. I had every ACC team advancing and I had VT going pretty deep. My bracket was already not great, but every team i've picked to make a surprise run to the Elite Eight has lost in the opening round.

My Final Four teams are still alive but we'll see how long that lasts.
Memphis over Gonzaga would not shock me.

Ugh VaTech can’t get it done.

The Va Tech men and women lost the week after we swept their baseball team. Not a great time to be a Hokie fan.

Well, unfortunately Ill didn't have a lead until the final minute but they had it when it counts most.

Can't wait for the late games to start as this LSU - Iowa St game is just ugly. Sometimes games are low scoring because of good defense. This is not one of those games. This is just 2 teams not playing well.

 

[RamblinRed]

Well i'm nothing if not consistent so far. I got 6 out of 8 games right in each of the 4 regions.
I've lost 1 Elite 8 team, and 4 Sweet Sixteen.
My bottom half of my East Bracket is lost (I had VT and KY), but other than that not too bad.

Hello to GT_EE78 and bwelbo. I miss you guys on the Swarm. I wish things had been different.

GT_EE78 and bwelbo are former Swarmers who submitted brackets to the Swarm group on ESPN.

Former? That’s the part of the story I missed.
