So since I'm in college and my hometown had a great college hoops team (Arizona) in terms of basketball, I care a lot more about NCAA than NBA. Shame my home team didn't make the tourney for the 1st time in 25 years. Anyways, so now I'm gonna for Washington and any other team from western conferences. (except Cal..)
My own school atm didn't make it the men's tourney, but is the 2nd seed overall in the women's tourney so at least there's that for me.

For those new to college hoops, it is a lot more fast paced and imo interesting than the NBA. There's so much youth and competition that a 12th seed can indeed beat a 5th seed. And as usual, CBS will stream all games (except women's games, sexists) for free!

Feel free to share you bracket predictions, fave teams, etc here.

This is my realistic bracket:

Bracket 1 --Click here to view--

I've got West Virgina pulling the upset over Kentucky. Da'Sean Butler and Kevin Jones are the guys who'll match up well with John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins. But the Jayhawks will survive the toughest road and come out on top as champs.

This is my wildcard bracket:

Bracket 2 --Click here to view--

Evan Turner vs. John Wall. Who is the best player in the NCAA? I've got my money on Turner.

This is my wishful thinking bracket:

Bracket 3 --Click here to view--

Storming the court on senior night was simply great. How awesome would it be to see the Terps win the tournament the year I graduate? Epic all around, but just a dream.

I have another one in my college pool with Final Four of: Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky, and Baylor. Kansas and Kentucky in the championship game with Kansas getting their 2nd title in 3 years.

Also, I'd like to say a great big "kitten YOU" to the NCAA committee for putting Maryland in the group of death while giving Duke the easiest matchups. They had to make it easy on them since they didn't want em be stuck in the Sweet 16 as usual. Freaking Dookie lovers

Oh and here is President Obama's picks on ESPN.

GO TERPS. FEAR THE TURTLE HOUSTON. WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!

You have my Final Four picks except for Syracuse with the same title game results.

No bracket for me this year, I forgot the games started that early.

Literally, I was working then heard a whistle and a horn from a TV next cubicle over, then thought, "Huh, what? Crap."

But I watched Washington take down Marquette. Oh, that was sweet to watch, especially after UW went down 15! And living in the D.C. area, I think it's safe to say that a good number of people have shredded their brackets already up here. LOLGeorgetown.

Oh no my bracket! Curse you Ohio! Curse You!

Oh hey, Mizzou won, it won't last though.

Gah, Villanova. took them to the final four =_=

[Mik3]

Im a nova fan, well rather a fan f all big five teams, but I would have been the first to tell you not to pick nova any farther than the sweet 16. They were horrible this year. I am severe dissapoint.


@ MS

When it comes to march madness a lot of people who dont watch much college ball and fill out brackets anyway are actually famed to be lucky.

UPDATE THEY WON

brackets are dead

Oh my god..what an awesome game. I loved it, fantastic upset. That 3 @ the end was the dagger. BUT MY POOR BRACKET FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[Miss Soupy]

Didn't see that coming XD Now I'm definitely pulling for Kentucky!!

oh my gosh True, your mascot is a teenage mutant ninja turtle?!

oh my gosh True, your mascot is a teenage mutant ninja turtle?!

LOL! Haha it's a Terrapin! They used to be quite the dinner choice in Maryland around the 1800's, but nowadays people aren't much for fried Terp or Terp soup.

EDIT:F*** YOU Lorie Lucious, F********* YOU!!! /wrist

Ah well, this was a great year for the Terps even if the ACC was down this year. Vasquez got the ACC Player of the Year and Gary Williams got ACC Coach of the Year so I'm very satisfied with the run they had. I love my Terps and hope to continue seeing them in the Tourney in future years as I become an alumni
