Looked like Gaines was gonna carry 'em. They got tired and X got tough. Nice end of season run though. Saved the coach's job apparently.

On another note: OJ Mayo is serious.

For another pool I'm in, I'm rooting for final scores to end with:

4-2 (W-L)
or
7-3 (W-L)

Payouts for each game I hit:

Play-in Game – Mar 18 1 @ $ 150
Round 1 – Mar 20 & 21 32@ $ 150
Round 2 – Mar 22 & 23 16@ $ 200
Round 3 – Mar 27 & 28 8@ $ 275
Round 4 – Mar 29 & 30 4@ $ 350
Semi-Finals – April 5 2@ $ 625
Championship – April 7 1@ $ 2,000

Tell us more about this. How many players? How much did it cost? Never seen one like this.

It's a 10x10 grid, like the Super Bowl squares everyone plays. $165 per square (I think the guy running it keeps $15, cause the prizepool only adds up to $15,000).

11/16 left for me. I am liking my chances in this thing. And if NC goes down next weekend like I predict, I got the thing just about wrapped up.

BTW I picked Siena in their first round upset.

Dude, hahahahahahahahahahahaha, dude. You've got WSU beating UNC and Louisville beating Tenn? Then WSU to the final four? Dude.

UNC is going to destroy WSU. They're going to win the tournament. Your east bracket is wacky, imo. FWIW, I still think you're cool.

I read this post last night and again this morning. It might be the funniest thing I have read on tp.com in a while. Genius.
