    UVA

    Final:
    UVA vs. Mich St.


    Final Four:
    UVA, UNC, Perdue, Mich. St

    I'm good as long as I get 2 correct.

    I've got UVA vs. Villanova for the final game. I have my doubts on MSU, but it could happen.

    I get the edge if MSU wins and not Duke. But if I can 3 of the final 4 right or both teams and the winner of the championship then I should win my pool and have bragging rights over my friends and family.

    Money is nice, but bragging rights are the best. I don't see Duke getting knocked out anytime soon, but one never knows.

    Who picked Loyola Chicago?

    My challenge for today was that two of my alma maters played each other - Seton Hall vs. NC State. Fortunately, I picked the 'right' alma mater (not because I like NC State less but because Seton Hall has the more experienced team, plus I'm still a Jersey girl at heart). This pick moved me up to a tie for 1st place in my family's NCAA tournament group. My final four includes UVA, Michigan, Villanova, and Duke, with UVA as the tournament winner. As long as it's anyone but UNC, I'll be happy! Nothing against UNC as a whole, I have colleagues, neighbors, and friends affiliated with UNC - just a healthy NC State - UNC rivalry.

    I don't know...but it makes me feel better about my alma mater's chances over TCU (although I do have Syracuse losing to Michigan State...I'm a realist.)

    Now I'm 2 games ahead of my kid. I just need to hang onto my lead for too many more games.

    I had Marshall! I winning my family's group - currently at 94%, with my closest relative/competitor at 39%. I'm sure my luck will run out at some point.

    I didn’t have Marshall and I definitely didn’t have UMBC.

    Until last night had anybody outside of Baltimore ever even heard of UMBC?

    And my Orangemen won. So in spite of my bracket being crushed, I can be happy about that.

    I went rogue and picked Kansas for the win. Currently in second place in my office pool. Picking Buffalo edged me up over several of my colleagues.

    Maybe UVA was too old to coach?

    VA blew part of my bracket, but I’ve got Villanova overall. I’m 2 games ahead of my kid-that’s all I care about.

    Ended today with a score of 380 points, which is 99%. I'm killing everyone else in my family group - too bad I'm not a gambler but I do have bragging rights!

    I woke the whole house up last night. They thought there was a fire when I yelled after that shot. If they can get past the next round, watch out.

    They probably will get past the next round. Just don’t tell loud enough that you wake me up.

    That was the worst. I kept checking the score and they were dominating all the way until they just died.
