    I went with the Ducks after looking at their record vs top 50 compared to Wisconsin.

    Damn McGee, he's a 44% 3 point shooter for his career and he goes 0-12 in a close game. The upset was there for the taking.

    I have missed 6 games so far (7 counting a screw up in filling out my bracket) and I maybe watched 4 or 5 college games this year and never really followed any teams. Our forum experts don't seem to be doing all that great, lol.

    1-1 after Kentucky win. 1-2 though as I picked neither Michigan nor Florida in the First Round.

    edit: I did pick Michigan just didn't have them moving on.

    I had them as my Dark Horse. They very well could have won that game.

    You see. This is why i never ever put money on stuff like this. My emotions always sway my decisions. I absolutely abhor LSU and just will not ever choose them to win. Not even really sure why?

    Out of I'm not sure of how many million, but the ESPN pool only has 3 perfect scores left. I am at 1.7m place and that's with getting 90% correct.

    Sounds like Herro was shadowing him as tightly as anyone has all year.

    Kentucky also got away with a couple of clear fouls on his 3 point attempts.

    Ja's weaknesses showing up pretty clearly and frequently right now.

    5/5 from the 3 is nice to see though

    I'm in the same boat. I didn't follow the season much, if at all, this year. I pretty much just looked at everyone's record vs top 50 and went with it. I'm doing better than some, and worse than others. Haha. So, flip a damned coin.

    Is Zion and Ja Morant same as Oden or Durant? Honk Once for Zion and Honk Twice for Ja Morant?

    Ja has no chance to go no. 1 though. Not even a contest.

    I’m not sure I like him that much either.

    Yeah he's clearly a very talented player, but a frustrating watch for me.

    But when I think of who I'd take over him, that list is pretty short. Especially considering he may be the only lead creator type with significant upside in this draft.

    I thought Florida State was going to win that game but I did not expect that... That was a pretty pathetic showing on defense for Morant and Murray state.

    1-3 with that Murray State loss.
