Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge
Post by: RaptorsGM on March 14, 2005, 08:52:15 AM
All right, it's that time of year! It's only fitting to have an SSBA NCAA challenge!!

Who knows the most? Is it the wise NetsGM? Or the out-there KingsGM?

Will success in SSBA relate to success in Bracket Filling?

ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES.

I like Florida because they're hot as hell, but I like UNC too much not to pick em....I got Zona, Wake, UNC and Michigan State (just call this a hunch)

Michigan State's non conference schedule was insane....I think they're used to the big games and have the talent to do some damage...especially in the weakest region

Washington as a 1 seed is the stupidest thing since Vince only making the 3rd team all-star.

Post by: LakersGM-old on March 14, 2005, 11:58:39 AM
I agree washington got a seed that was waay to high. My badgers got shafterd as well. We were hoping for a 4 seed but wouldnt have minded a 5 seed. Instead we got a 6. I think were better than that.

My roommate is a HUGE UW fan, he was pretty pissed about that seeding.
He also went to bed at like 6:30 yesterday because he was drunk and depressed after the Ill game.

Post by: LakersGM-old on March 14, 2005, 12:19:58 PM
Where do you go to school hornets gm? I wasnt really depressed, i sort of expected us to lose. I was REALLY depressed after the first Illini game this season though when they ended our 38 game home win streak. We had the game up by 8 with a few minutes left. I think it was like 4. They started fouling us, and we kept missing our throws. STUPID STUPID STUPID.


Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge
Post by: RaptorsGM on March 14, 2005, 12:22:18 PM
Good thing I'm a Gators fan.

Nothing to be depressed about :)

And plus, now that freakin Kyle Korver is in the NBA, he wont burn us in the first round.

Is there anyway, we can import our picks?  I'm in another bracket pickem on yahoo, and it would much nicer to just import the list rather than re enter it in


Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge

I'm in 2 leagues in yahoo, set one group of picks and it worked for both leagues.


Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge

Yeah I just signed up and it had my picks set already.  Saved me 5 minutes

Yeah, its sweet that way. I'm in this one, a Sixers board one and a Raptors board one, all with the same bracket.

I have Pitt in my elite 8 and they're getting rocked by Pacific :oops:


Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge
Post by: NetsGM on March 17, 2005, 01:54:11 PM
Luckily I only had Pitt winning 1 game.

But I had 'bama winning two.  Hope they pull that one through.


Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge
Post by: RaptorsGM on March 17, 2005, 02:54:46 PM
Winners:

UWM over Bama

Pacific over Pitt

Oklahoma over Niagra - Look for Juan Mendez in the NBA next year

Kentucky over East Kentucky

I had Bama, but to lose next round to LSU


Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge
Post by: RaptorsGM on March 17, 2005, 03:48:10 PM
I need Montana to cover the +20.5 spread

BAD START

Bah, Had Bama goin to the 3rd round...


Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge
Post by: LakersGM-old on March 17, 2005, 06:18:46 PM
I had iowa and alabama both going to the sweet 16, so i may be hurting a little, but nothing major like elite 8's or anything.

Kobe Sucks: 12
Skones: 12
Granota: 12
Singh_Shady: 12
Temple Owls: 12

Haha, oh well.

Who were your guys bracket busters?

I had LSU winning in the second round

Post by: HawksGM on March 18, 2005, 09:55:05 AM
Pitt in the elite 8 is the only tough one for me to take....I had bama out in the 2nd round, looks like as of now I'm the Brakcetologist for the SSBA....I told you UAB still had some magic in them


Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge

I've got Minny over Iowa St...betting wise and in my bracket. Need a big comeback.


Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge
Post by: RaptorsGM on March 18, 2005, 05:25:46 PM
I'm in a great position to win big today. I needed Oakland getting 28.5, and they lost by 28 :)

Man, 'Nova barely pulled through at the end there.  Scary.


Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge
Post by: RaptorsGM on March 18, 2005, 05:35:16 PM
That was very scary. I had them giving -5.5.  :shock:

34-11 at the half, I thought I was home free.

Anyway, I need Wisconsin-6.5 and Miss St-2.5 for $150


Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge

Vermont  :shock:

Nobody had that.


Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge
Post by: NetsGM on March 18, 2005, 10:06:13 PM
Luckily I had 'Cuse losing in the sweet 16.  So I'm not heart as much as most.


Title: SSBA NCAA Bracket Challenge
Post by: RaptorsGM on March 18, 2005, 10:08:27 PM
I had Cuse in the final four.

Damn son.

And Wisconsin won...by 5 :(

North Iowa hit a shot at the buzzer that killed me, and didnt matter at all.

Now I have Kansas-Bucknell, Miss St-Stanford and Gtech-GeoWash all within 5 pts for 200 benos.

Those teasers are tough to pull off. How much did you have to put down to get 200 back?

Anyway...BUCKNELL

Talk about Bracket Busters. There goes 1 final four team, and one elite eight team for me.

Post by: HawksGM on March 19, 2005, 10:16:48 AM
Thank You....I have Michigan St in the final four, so even with Syracuse losing didn't get me a point, it gives Michigan State a better chance of advancing....Bucknell is right down the road from where I live now...it's a damn shame I lost an elite 8 team there

Wake losing actually helps me, since I only had them winning 1 game more than they did.

'Nova just got SCREWED!  That was NOT a travel.  He took off from his left foot.  That should have been an and-1 to tie the game with 28 or so seconds left.

I'm not in that bad of shape, i still have both of my championship teams left, if im right i should finish in the upper half of the standings. Dbodner has the best shot at winning though.
