So we have 12 picks for UNC, 3 for duke, 2 for UVA and a WTF are you thinking UK pick from @TarHeelMark.
LOL. I wouldn't pay up if it was him and he won. F**k that dude.
Can we just declare it 2nd place gets their money back?
Leaving it up to the winner is ghey
You can declare whatever you want. I'm taking everyone's money if I win. I'm not all sentimental like you guys.
Who does everyone have in their FF? I'm too lazy to go through each bracket myself. I've got Michigan St, Michigan, Villanova and UNC.
Louisville is terrible. Wtf
I've got UNC, UVA, dook, and Mich St in the FF

I rarely ever pick the Heels. Don’t want to jinx them. I’d rather lose $20 and have them win.
I can understand that, but you could have done better than UK. Especially since Wofford is going to beat them in the second round.
I thought about that, but I had to remember UNC never has it easy, so I went with UK.
I haven’t looked at the brackets since the selection show, and literally went through it in 3 minutes around 11:30 today - with no research whatsoever. It might get ugly for me.
And I put the WORST ever finals... dook v kensucky.
In my experience, I usually do better when I don't do much research.I haven’t looked at the brackets since the selection show, and literally went through it in 3 minutes around 11:30 today - with no research whatsoever. It might get ugly for me.

I'm talking about the UK/Wofford matchup. I picked UNC over UK.
Thanks for following up. I wish I had gotten in, but I just sort of ran out of time, and wasn't confident at all in my picks. Though I know it is mostly just for fun.
FWIW - I had originally had Duke over UNC in the title game, but then I reconsidered (hearing that that sort of pick is frowned upon in these OOTB parts - rightly so) and I don't really think there is any such thing as a reverse jinx or some sort of benefit I'd get from maybe winning money if Dook won it all.
I ended up with VT (I know that's a long shot), and Zags and UNC and Tennessee in Final Four - with UNC over Zags again. Who knows if any of those teams make the Final Four. I think its a pretty wide open year even with Dook in it. I don't think they are a lock to the Final Four that most people make them out to be.
Thanks for setting this up, and good luck to everyone.
I am now officially in I HATE LOUISVILLE FOR LIFE mode. It's a shame, cuz I really like Bill Murray.
Well, we bet all the time around here. Football, basketball, when people die. Just jump in on any of those next time.
Wouldn't it be awesome if Bill was actually on the bench, and not his son?
It would be sad, actually. But, I hope his son can get a better job than the jinx of Chris Mack.
That's in our region. It'd be fine if Auburn were to go down, if somehow Kansas would too.
If they had started making outside shots a few minutes earlier they might be winning right now
And what the hell is FSU doing? Hamilton irritates the hell out of me. I still can't figure out why a post player would go there.
OK; so here's what my non-researched bracket got me in the FF: dook, TxTech, Tenn, UK.
I'm probably going to be at one extreme or the other in the final results.
...plus, we need every team that has any possibly imaginable athletic ability chance to hang with the dbag dookies to advance. Anyone who remotely could be foreseen as competing with Dook on a bad day for Dook. Last thing we need is for them to have 3 basic byes to get to elite 8. Can you imagine Zion playing against kids from Yale?
