Anybody else happy for March Madness?
Do you fill out a bracket?

I hope my Terps get in! My other team, Pitt, has finished their season. They had 2 of the top 3 players enter the transfer portal within 24 hrs. a couple weeks ago. They had trouble this season, but their star is only a sophomore and may go pro.
My women Terps won the Big Ten!

We’ll be cheering for Michigan State and Michigan!! Same here! I'm thrilled that MSU was able to sneak in this year. They've had both terrible and incredible games this season. Hope U of M is able to go far. I love the whole tourney and watch as many games as I can! |

My Oklahoma Sooners are an 8th seed. We play Missouri, which should be a good match up.
Realistically, I don’t think my Sooners have a chance of winning the tournament, but I think several Big 12 teams have a shot at it. On my bracket, I picked Baylor to win the whole thing. We always have a family competition for the best bracket.

I'm a Gonzaga alum. I LOVE March Madness. 😁 I’ll bet you do love March Madness! I have Baylor and Gonzaga in the championship game. I’m loyal to the Big 12, so I picked Baylor to win, but I think Gonzaga has a great chance of winning the tournament. I’m just so happy there is a tournament this year! |

I don't have the least interest in basketball or any team sports. However, I was happy to see this going forward this year. Last year when the ACC tournament was canceled was my "Oh, this is serious" moment of the virus.

I love that the Big 10 is so well represented. It’s pretty cool that the tournament is all being played in Indiana. I’ll be cheering on my Boilermakers!

I'm a Gonzaga alum. I LOVE March Madness. 😁 I picked Gonzaga to win. I know very little about college basketball but DS has had all of us fill out brackets for the past 5 years or so. We have lots of fun. DH and ds really get in depth with their picks, me not so much. |

Day 1 isn't over yet and there are just over 1000 perfect brackets left.
With the crazy upsets today, I want to know who picked them right so far and what method did they use.

I picked the Mean Green of North Texas State to upset Perdue!
It wasn't total dumb luck. I had heard one of the analysts on ESPN say that the Mean Green had one really great player and the team had finished the season strong. I love the name Mean Green and we pass their stadium every time we go to Dallas, so I picked them to upset Perdue and they came through!
I'm no. 1 right now in our extended family bracket challenge, but I always start out strong and then fade.
I sure didn't pick Oral Roberts to upset Ohio State! I had Ohio State going all the way to the Elite Eight, so that will really mess up my bracket. However, I was happy to see an Oklahoma team pull off the big upset.
I'm currently watching West Virginia play Morehead State. I've watched so much basketball today my eyes are glazed over. I love March Madness!!!

We aren’t but ncaa watchers - except DS - but we keep an eye on it during March Madness.
I have a soft spot for Loyola and Sister Jean after they came so close a couple years ago. 😝

I never got around to a bracket this year.
However, based on who I would have picked, I would not be in the running for any bracket awards LOL.
My Mountaineers beat Morehead State to give Coach Bob Huggins win number 900. I am so happy for him, and I hope he has a few more wins left in this tournament (5 more would be good, LOL).
(Edited to correct the number of games left.)

Well I'm ready for football...who else???
I hadn't done a bracket for a couple of years because I got tired of trying to keep track of games during the first weekend when it coincided with my annual scrapbooking retreat. But I thought I'd join in on the "fun" this year because a guy at DH's office does a big bracket pool and DH & the boys usually fill one out. Three of the four of us had Ohio State in the Final Four...as Nebraska fans, we've not been happy with the Big Ten this year...and that streak continues considering how bad the Big Ten teams did in our brackets yesterday!
