Wow!  Nova hangs on by 3 in OT, BYU wins by 7 in 2 OT's, and OD beats ND by 1!  crazy start to this tourney!!!

BYU doesn't hurt me much... i had florida winning in more brackets than BYU, but no biggie.  The ND game killed me, though.  i think i had them in AT LEAST the sweet 16 in most of my brackets.

notre dame and old dominion are currently tied midway through the 2nd half.  this one would hurt me as much as villanova would!

BYU up 10 on Florida with 8 to go.  I'd like to Florida to win.  I picked them as a mini-upset in most of my brackets, although i don't think i have either team advancing to the sweet 16 in any of my brackets.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="778625" timestamp="1268933334"] A Robert Morris win kills all 12 of my brackets!!! Come on Nova!!!! [/quote] i don't think it's that bad... i think i have nova making it past the sweet 16 in maybe 5 out of 12.  i assure you that if RM wins, 95% of all brackets are going to take a hit beyond the first round.

Nova down 6 at the break

I was really uncomfortable with Villanova in all of my brackets, but i just couldn't figure out who would beat them.  I hope it isn't Robert Morris.

Notre Dame is up 6 on Old Dominion at the half. BYU is up 2 vs. Florida at the half. Villanova is currently down 8 to Robert Morris with 4 minutes to go in the 1st half.

that sounds like like a pretty fair assessment :)

if not, it's REAL close... it was kind of telling last night to see what Tech did to a team with a better overall AND conference record from a conference that's supposed to be so much better than the big 12.  and the game was AT seton hall!

here's mine, in order of most likely to least likely being upset: Duke, Syracuse, Kentucky, Kansas.

i'd say this year the odds are worse than that :)

this is one of the hardest years i can remember picking.  there are a lot of interesting matchups between good teams from average conferences vs. average teams from good conferences.  those are always tough to pick.  here are some of the matchups that i'm struggling with: maryland/houston butler/utep xavier/minnesota byu/florida siena/purdue mizzou/clemson temple/cornell vandy/murray st

ok, my bracket is completed and ready to dominate!

Does 1A even play baseball?* *Just kidding, 1A baseball fans, that's a knock on JoesBros.

Silsbee has the better chance, but they both have a chance... as far as i'm concerned, Silsbee will be the favorite to advance out of region 3 until proven otherwise.  With Spurger, they're going to have to pull off some more upsets like they did this year.  Hopefully Spurger will go, and also HJ or Silsbee too!

that's great!  i know that he has them improving every year.  this year might be the first year that they make it into the conference tourney!

the ags have road that could definitely lead to the elite 8.  they may have to face the weakest #4 in Purdue, and the weakest #1 in Duke.  both of those teams still very well could beat the Ags, but it's better than having to play a team like Kansas or Kentucky!

i'm undecided about whether i'm coming tonight or not.
