Hello all! This is the place to discuss the upcoming NCAA basketball tournaments (men’s and women’s).
A few questions to get this started:

Is your team in the big dance?
What teams do you think will win the whole thing?
What teams are you rooting for?

Bracket Challenge
I have created a Spiral Knights bracket group for both the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments if anyone would like to join me in a bracket challenge.
Men’s Tourney Group name: Spiral Knights (MT)
Women’s Tourney Group name: Spiral Knights (WT)
Password (for both groups): JellyNick

Sweet Sixteen Bracket Challenge
If you missed the first bracket challenge, there is still a chance to get in on the fun. The second chance brackets are here, and I have created a group for those that would like to join.
Men's Tourney Sweet Sixteen group name: Spiral Knights (S16)
Password: JellyNick

Notes: You will need an ESPN account to participate, but if you do not already have one, you can create one for free. Both groups are limited to one bracket entry per person, but I am willing to increase it to two entries if people would prefer that. As of right now, there are not any prizes for this contest since I’m pretty much broke in SK. If I can work myself into playing SK again, that might change. However, you have a better chance of creating a perfect bracket than wining crowns/CE from this contest :P

As a Syracuse fan, this whole season has been very upsetting from every point of view.
Don't really know who to root for at this point (in the tournament). But, like every year, I hope a 16 seed beats a 1 seed. It's about damn time!

@Reto-Da-Liz Yeah, my team (UNLV) didn’t do too well either; after overachieving by defeating Arizona, the team underachieved the rest of the year. I would love to see a 16 beat a 1 as long as it is not Wisconsin—I don’t want them to get bounced early.

Anyone is welcome to join in the bracket challenges—even if you do not know anything about college basketball, don’t let that stop you. Join for fun!

I was going to make a bracket but I needed like 2 more days. :(

All these 3-14 games (or 4-13) and them almost losing.
North Eastern almost had it!

Ah, too bad. Wish you could have, Zeke. Was it just too short notice on my part--getting the thread up and whatnot?

It's the Madness! All these upsets and near-upsets, it's great!

Brother-Zeke

Nah, it wasn't your fault, but it was mine for not checking GC+making one earlier.

But man, these upsets. And every single game (except Kentucky) has been close!

I just saw that espn has a Sweet Sixteen bracket once this weekend is done, so I'll set one up for GC. Anyone who didn't join the full bracket is welcome to join the Sweet Sixteen bracket.

Oh, man! First overtime of the tourney! This first day has been nuts!

*sigh* Well, my bracket is about to take a huge hit. Thankfully, my siblings and I had the same Final Four (don't ask, I have no idea how that happend), so I still have a chance at beating them.

Oh, and I created the Sweet Sixteen bracket group, so everyone is welcome to join the fun!

I made a bracket for the Sweet Sixteen!
I tried to pick some upsets, but the upsets I picked were probably awful cause I don't pay much attention to those teams.

Hmmm....

I thought everyone on here was a cool nerd. Well, anyways, I'm just doing men's college no upsets (Was my original before upsets D:)

A little over 24 hours till the first Sweet Sixteen game tips off, so if you haven't joined the bracket contest, yet you want to join, don't wait too long. The more the merrier!

Well, even though I had Kentucky in my S-16 bracket, I would be lying if I said I was upset. I am quite glad Wisconsin defeated Kentucky, I didn't really want to see Kentucky go 40-0. Although, even more than that I do NOT want Duke to win. That would really upset me if Duke wins the championship.
