We Regret to Inform You - Your NCAA Bracket has Died

I picked k state to win it all in my office bracket.  I was up to third as of yesterday.   Not sure now, since my other three in my final four were Kansas,  Houston and Alabama 

I still have Creighton, Texas, and UConn of my final 4 left. I’m assuming I’ll win a little bit of money this year. 

My son is getting beat by his wife in their brackets, but she is changing her picks after the games are over so there is that.  I hope he gets rewarded for his efforts.

The absolute carnage....

Only half of my pool (5 out of 10) can even earn additional points.

I had Baylor, Kansas State, Xavier and UConn in my Final Four with Baylor over Xavier in the final.

This is the last time I ask a fortune teller for help 

We had a funeral for my bracket 3/4 of the way through Day 1. We count most wins with the tie-breaker being points and second tie-breaker being the final score of the title game. I got slaughtered early and sort of checked-out.

But I have my champ in Texas remaining, so yay I guess?

Texas is my only Final 4 team that's still in it.

I've got K-State and Texas left but only KSU making the final four.

I'm rooting for them to win it all just because I love watching Nowell play so much.

But I have a hunch this may be Texas's year.

Went into the S16 with all my brackets in the 95th percentile on ESPN. And now, well…they are not that. 

Still have a shot of winning some money if Texas or UConn wins it all, just not what I was hoping for. 

But regardless, the madness has been fun to watch. MSU-KSU and Gonzaga-UCLA were all-timers, and I enjoyed seeing Alabama go down. Really looking forward to UConn-Gonzaga and (hopefully) UConn-Texas matchups. Good basketball is always a nice consolation prize. 

I did not pick a bracket this year due to Michigan not being in the tourney. So far so good.

Just moved to SD and watched the game at a fun bar downtown. Great atmosphere. Go Dutcher.

I actually became interested in watching the rest of the tournament at around 9pm Thursday night. 

Oooo, I am doing surprisingly well for no good reason whatsoever. Michigan’s season was grim and I have a toddler, so I didn’t follow college basketball this year and had no idea what I was doing. Good friends went to KSU and SDSU, and Gonzaga and Creighton are Jesuit which seemed like a decent reason to have them going through. I think I’ve won my bracket already!

0 teams left. Now I guess I get to stop checking?

My 1 and only bracket has Gonzaga over Bama with K-State and TX in Final Four.  I had a real shot of winning ~$7,000 for first place in my 1,000 bracket work pool, had Houston/Bama won yesterday.  Still can get 3 of 4 FF and finish high, but I believe my shot at #1 went down last night.  Having all 4 FF teams alive (with 2 through to the Elite 8) with 12 to go at the start of yesterday had me dreaming a bit of how I was going spend my unanticipated 'F around' windfall $.  Alas, not to be.  Only top 3 get paid and believe I may still have a shot at 2nd/3rd if K-State and Gonzaga win today, TX tomorrow, and Gonzaga cuts down the nets.

no  BIG10

very bad for the Conference

yes, i wanted Michigan St to beat Kansas St

I can't believe it but last night everything went right for me and I'm now in 1st place. I have Texas in the finals, Gonzaga winning over UConn. I think one person will pass me if KState wins, but I can get them back with either of Gonzaga or Texas winning. After that I need Texas to not win the championship. The best part is my daughter took Gonzaga to win so if they win out I think we'll both end up in the money. 

My bracket wrote a lovely letter to his wife the night before passing. Let me read it while Ashokan Farewell plays...

The BIG10 ended up with lower seeds because of Conference losses. Tough games all season in the BIG10:

I know there's commenters here that hate coach Izzo. But he does make a good point:

Still have three final four teams alive. I picked Alabama to win it all. So many people did though, so I think I still have a chance to win my challenge.  

My bracket was dead a week ago, but my Draft Kings account is thriving, I jumped on the underdog bandwagon quickly. I have FAU and Gonzaga today hoping water doesn't find it's level. 

Only team I have left is UConn, but I did pick them to win it all, so hoping I can at least get that right!

I had Purdue in the FF (I know their history, I just thought this would be their year to break precedents). My bracket has been dead for a long time. Dead, buried, and forgotten. 

I have zero teams left. Only had 6 in the sweet 16. 

I'm in 22nd out of 25 right now and one of 3 people to pick the Zags to win.  If they win out I'll get 2nd place but I have no one else left in my bracket.

So I expect them to lose later today 🙃

Jokes on you, my bracket was never born.

I am usually horrible with brackets, but this year has been surprisingly good. Going into the E8 I still have 3 (Creighton, KSU, Texas) of my F4 teams alive. In 1st or 2nd for most of my bracket pools ... for now at least!  

I had Michigan winning it all.  I was out early.

Lost TN, X, UCLA, AL and Houston this round.  RIP.

My wife has two of her final four left. I’m in last place.

I had Kansas beating Kansas St in the championship. I completely spaced that Kansas won last year or else I wouldn’t have selected them. Really hard to go back to back. I got Miami, Texas, Kansas St, and Gonzaga all right. I’ve got Texas beating Miami and I had Kansas St beating ‘Bama. 

Picked Uconn to win it all so still alive.
