Looking decent in both my brackets... Have 11 of 16 in one pool & 10 of 16 in the other for sweet 16 teams. All final 4 teams still alive in both. Sitting in 2nd place in both pools.

I really did pick Louisiana to beat Creighton. So I'm not hurting too bad there.
Villanova losing hurt me though.

That wasn't going to happen at that neutral court in Milwaukee. It could happen in the next round, but I think they beat Baylor.

Just to let you guys know, I'm tied for last place right now but I'll be back up near the top before this thing is over.
This is pretty much all I have left. I'm 79th out of 91 in my other pool with lots of money on the line and this same bracket. Of course Dayton knocked me out of the running for the billion dollars (as someone said on Twitter, nice to see Warren Buffet finally get a break in life). So winning a pool that pays nothing and has less than 10 entries is now all I have to look forward to for the next week. Then baseball starts in full and I'll forget that I even filled out a bracket.

I'm with you there. They are a team that is a ton of fun to watch play. Thankfully Iowa State is still alive so there is still that for me I guess. Watching their game against UNC was a freaking roller coaster ride on Sunday.

I think they will have to bring the old school defense and keep the score in the 40's-50's.

I pulled Baylor out of the hat in the "high dollar" 16-team pool at work.
Do they have a shot to win a game or two? Gotta get to the Final 4 for me to get my money back.

Go to espn or yahoo and look at their season schedule-results. They have gotten hot at the right time. How they were 9-9 in conference is a mystery.

They were ranked in the top 10 and then started conf play something like 1-5 before righting the ship. I think Wisconsin was seeded too high and Baylor too low. Probably a 3 and a 4 and take your pick which should be which. Should be a good game.
