I never bet. I never do well. But, it is still fun. I have come to the conclusion that it is best if I find a few teams that I have some emotional attachment to, and root for them. Because I love my husband more than college basketball, I put ASU going to the final four - so, that didn't happen. But I always put my cousin's team and my team up against each other in the finals.
Go AZ!

I got 5 wrong last night. but only one of those teams were moving on in my bracket anyway, so hopefully that damage is minimal.  |

So far, I am leading my office pool!!! Woohoo! I actually over picked the upsets. I was calling out upsets like crazy and just got a little ambitious on it. I didn't put my faith in San Diego State, Wisconsin or UConn. I got the rest of the games right.  So, I'm out for the billion (well, I didn't actually enter). I have never won our office pool. It is just a piddly $5 per bracket, but it is good fun. Gives the office something to have fun with for a couple weeks. |

I am dead last in our office pool. I guess someone has to lose, right? |

Because I have no freaking clue about college basketball and I just clicked on whatever one I felt like. I only have 9 right so far so it's not like I did a great job But I am pretty confident that KU will win it all (Rock Chalk!!) |

However, this year I wouldn't mind seeing The Shockers take it all.  |

I didn't actually fare too badly.....had Duke winning one more before losing to Michigan (who I also hate, as an Irish fan!) but I speak for the masses when I say that I am happy to eat the bracket points I've lost with them losing in the first round, knowing that they have lost in the first round, and I don't have to hear about Duke, the Cameron Crazies, Coach K, or Jabari Parker for the rest of this tourney!  |

So, I've not checked my work bracket.
For our family challenge, the Duke loss was a big hit to me, and a huge hit to my oldest daughter. Our oldest son was in last place for a while. He was mocked pretty heavily.
Louisville almost losing was pretty stressful.
We're huge Duck fans. I have a post-grad cert from there and DH has been attending various sporting events of theirs since he was ten years-old. We're hoping for at least Sweet 16 if not Elite Eight.
I also let any kid in my school turn in a bracket and we have prizes for quadrant winners and overall winners. It's a great opportunity to talk about colleges.

I've been so busy at work this week I completely forgot to fill out a bracket and enter the office pool. Bummer. Still following the tournament, still loving that Duke upset!

Well, I didn't win a billion dollars. I have no clue about basketball, which I thought would give me an advantage, but then DH filled in some "obvious" picks, and changed my pick for Ohio state to lose.  |

Nobody will win the billion dollars. Every entry has been eliminated. In Round 1! |

Currently in first place in our office bracket pool with 25 of the first 32 games picked correctly. Duke hurt the worst - they were the only team that I had going past the second round and lost in the first.
