Today

Hopefully, my bracket fares a little better today. The big blow yesterday was having USC lose. I had them as an elite eight team. It could have been worse though. I had them in the final four until yesterday morning.

I think USC losing was bad for a lot of us

my sleeper elite 8 pick, WV, is still alive.

Interesting games on now...

I could very well lose all four.

Tennessee/American University and Saint Mary's/Miami are tight and Gonzaga and Western Kentucky are holding about 10 point leads.

I am on the wrong end of the latter two games.

Same here..

My bracket is quickly disintegrating.

Welcome to March, Gentlemen

I have Tenn in the Elite Eight.....That said, Go American!!!!!!

by Addicted to Quack on Mar 21, 2008 11:08 AM PDT up 0 recs

Yep

I wasn't sold on Tennessee -- I had them losing in the second round to Butler. But, even if I had them going further, it be hard not too root for American.

Whoa

Things change quicky. I like Davidson turning that game around, but now Saint Mary's has fallen behind.

by ntrebon on Mar 21, 2008 11:11 AM PDT 0 recs

Yeah, St Mary's is falling apart

And what the heck is up with Tennessee?

I'm not real impressed with them, and have them going to the Elite 8 because their bracket seems fairly weak.

Drake

I had them in the sweet 16. Losing here would hurt. My bracket is getting very close to being useless.

Must be a Chicago thing

FF

I will hold out hope as long as my final four is intact.

C'mon Davidson!

Stephen Curry

Is a player

by tdawg on Mar 21, 2008 11:29 AM PDT 0 recs

Looks like Davidson will pull it out

Can't say the same for Drake (who can't get a break), and St. Marys was just pathetic in the 2nd half.

by jtlight on Mar 21, 2008 11:37 AM PDT 0 recs

Davidson

Took care of business. Now, it's time for Drake -- only down five.

by ntrebon on Mar 21, 2008 11:38 AM PDT 0 recs

I had St. Mary's, Gonzaga, and Drake all winning

my bracket is toast.

by Addicted to Quack on Mar 21, 2008 11:41 AM PDT 0 recs

I had st mary's in the sweet 16

Drake as well...

by jtlight on Mar 21, 2008 11:43 AM PDT up 0 recs

Drake

Only down 4...

by ntrebon on Mar 21, 2008 11:43 AM PDT up 0 recs

1

Only down 1 now!

by ntrebon on Mar 21, 2008 11:44 AM PDT up 0 recs

St. Mary's

I was about as sure as you could be that that game would be a 10-7 upset.

by ntrebon on Mar 21, 2008 11:44 AM PDT up 0 recs

me, too

by Addicted to Quack on Mar 21, 2008 11:51 AM PDT up 0 recs

What a friggin 3 by Drake

That was something Tajuan would throw up

by jtlight on Mar 21, 2008 11:44 AM PDT 0 recs

And another!

Big time shooting. Gotta play some D now.

by jtlight on Mar 21, 2008 11:47 AM PDT up 0 recs

Drake

Will get last shot. Unbelievable.

by ntrebon on Mar 21, 2008 11:48 AM PDT 0 recs

OT!

I'm glad there was a couple good games this time slot

by jtlight on Mar 21, 2008 11:50 AM PDT 0 recs

OT

Lets go Drake!!!!!!!

This is so much better than yesterday!

Nick....

did you get the email a few days ago regarding site redesign and claiming your account?

by Addicted to Quack on Mar 21, 2008 11:51 AM PDT 0 recs

Yep

I got it. I had already claimed my login awhile back.

As an aside, the other main SBNation blog I go to regularly (lonestarball.com) just made the switch today. The new format will take a little getting used to.

by ntrebon on Mar 21, 2008 11:55 AM PDT up 0 recs

yeah, its different

I'm happy with what we have now, but its not really my choice

by Addicted to Quack on Mar 21, 2008 11:58 AM PDT up 0 recs

New format

It has a lot of nice features, it's just really different.

by ntrebon on Mar 21, 2008 12:02 PM PDT up 0 recs

I haven't used it too much...

But I've like the initial impressions. Including auto refreshing comments, and a few other things.

The overall design I could take or leave, but the other stuff will be nice.

by jtlight on Mar 21, 2008 12:06 PM PDT up 0 recs

Features

Not only will comments auto-refresh, but you have hot keys to tab through new comments. A very cool feature.

The network-wide handles are also nice.

As for the actual new visual layout, I agree. They will automatically incorporate a lot of nice features, such as standings, stats and live scores. But, the new layout is pretty drastically different and will take some time adjusting to.
