Real Deal

BYU needs to worry about their guard play as well. Pullen and Clemente are mean, and K-State is almost impossible to beat if both bring their "A" games.

Yeah, but it depends on the severity of it. He could be out for a week, could be up to 8-9 weeks. Probably a good thing, though, because Andrew Bynum has been a black hole with the ball lately. He never, ever, ever passes out of the post. Ever. And his defense sucks. MBENGA TIME.

Yeah, I have Louisville beating Duke in a couple of brackets, and I'm not even sure if I ever stuck Cal in the second round. Pretty sad play by the Cardinals.

I'm not sure which is better: Syracuse's defense, or their offense. Execution was damn good for the Orange, even in a first-round game.

A&M is one of the most underrated teams in the tourney, in my opinion. While I don't have them reaching the Elite 8, they have the goods to get it done.

Oakland didn't stand a chance from the start. This was much different than the Ohio/Georgetown game, but then again, Ohio is a better team than Oakland. Anyone have Pitt going to the Elite 8?

That 10-0 run to start the game was a little scary, but WVU is just too good of a team to go down against a team like Morgan State. I actually have WVU advancing to the Final Four in a couple of brackets, one with them meeting KU in the championship game.

I had Minnesota in a few brackets, but most were Xavier. I liked Minny's execution down the stretch in past games, but it didn't happen here.

Slaven, it's your win, but you have to post a rap.

The mock was actually planned about two months ago, and I believe we discussed it somewhere on the site as well. I was under the impression that the new system would have to be learned, which is why I started mock sign-ups. In fact, I created the list of salaries February 13th. We'll do the mock sometime later.

Terry (my brother) would've had one of the best brackets on ESPN had New Mexico State won that game. He was ranked 347 at the time, and that win would've stuck him in there with the best.

Does not look like we'll be doing this...

Okafor just let Melo crash the boards all game. You can't expect to win doing that. Billups shot poorly, yet the Nuggets still breezed through this one. New Orleans needs CP3 back, even if Collison is doing well.

Yeah, Beasley's defensive awareness is pretty low. He needs a lot of work in that department. I was shocked to see the Heat hang in there, though. I don't believe in moral victories, but I guess a few Heat fans can take it as such, because the Magic are a tough team to beat, and this could be someone they'll face at least four more times this season.
