March Madness 2014

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Emmet an IrishTiger...x) ^_^

*totally did the same thing for Providence* ;)

Ohio St. was my champion for last year. They went a looong way. So I had them go at least two rounds. *sigh* But Dayton definitely deserved the win.

KF, that has absolutely nothing to do with state rivalry, right?

xD Nice.

Apparently I have a lot of faith in Michigan/MI State, as I have the one going to the final four, and Michigan State going all the way. But was it really wise choosing for them to go all the way considering that Obama picked the same? :-k

*is now craving iced tea*

Bizarre start to the Kentucky/Kansas State game as it started with technical free throws before the tip due to the other team dunking during the warm up. Fastest points in NCAA history. :P

And one of my Final Four is out already! \:D/

All of our national champs are still in it, so it's still anybody's league to win! \:D/

Wichita State lost when I predicted! :cool: Just not to the opponent I predicted. So I don’t get anything for it, but it stops at least two of you guys from getting anything, from here forward, because you had them winning it all so it’s just as good. \:D/

Well, we're glad somebody's happy. :noway:

But no, I had them losing too. ;) Mine was in the Elite Eight. So much for that.
I wanted to be wrong, though...I like little teams. ^_^

Haha I wonder how many of the games I'll actually watch. :P \:D/
You're going to have a prefect bracket. Just watch! \:D/
You jinxed me. :p My bracket is pathetically red. :cry:

I'm starting to regret not putting Michigan to go further. Good gravy. o.O They're nailing the three-pointers and passes. :) They've just got to keep their focus for the 2nd half. Tennessee's still in it though. :)

Edit: Wow, completely still in it. I'm sitting here going, 'Michigan, don't lose. Michigan, don't lose.' :P This is a terrible game to knit during.

TKD, Arizona vs. Wisconsin is a very big game for you and I! It could change everything! \:D/

Wisconsin pulled it out in overtime! Wow, there's so much to be decided.

At a glance (this may not be 100% accurate):
bookworm could win if Florida wins its next two games.
Sunny picked Michigan in the Final Four, so she could make things interesting if Michigan wins.
Similarly, Knight Fisher has Michigan winning it all, so he could win if that happens.
AE can likely get the victory if Michigan State wins the national title.
However, TKD could also win the league, if Wisconsin goes all the way. :mad:

There are only 5 games left, but so much has yet to be determined. \:D/

Note: Woody, Fang, IrishTiger and dtnawesomeness99 are statistically eliminated from winning this year.
