    Looks like @BigGameDamian and @Haakzilla are the only ones in our group who picked Furman. @hoopsjock, @PDXFonz, @Strenuus and I all had UVA winning a couple games before losing to 'Bama.

    Absolutely amazing--5 years to the day after UMBC beats Virginia in the first ever 16-1 upset, Virginia is upset in the first round again (13-4), and the then-UMBC coach is now at Utah St. and angling for another (far smaller) first-round upset of his own.

    Go Aggies!!

    Not loving seeing Utah St running Terry Stotts' 3-man weave offense, and even less loving the fact that Missouri has a Kobe (wearing #24 no less) taking over.

    If ESPN does their "second-chance bracket" thing, I'll see if I can set up a group for that too.

    Who had Arizona losing in the first round? I bet a lot of brackets were just busted. I won't be messaging my daughter who is a freshman at Arizona today.

    All brackets should be busted right now sans the people who make 75 brackets and had every possible 1st round upsets.

    Yeah thank goodness everyone is in the same boat. Could have made up some serious ground with Princeton over Arizona.

    Bummer for Haak. Maybe he’ll make up some ground with his other picks.

    Hoopsjock and Shaboid looking the best in the south now.

    Duke out to an early 11-0 lead over Oral Roberts. Guess my 12-5 pick isn't going to hit... :dunno:

    I haven't looked at anyone else's bracket, but I imagine most picked Alabama to get out of the south. We'll see how much it really impacts my overall score at the end.

    That Duke team being a 5 seed is maybe one of the worst seedings that I've ever seen. Think about if you're Purdue and you handle your business in the first and second round... then you have to play Duke even thought you were a 1 seed.

    Auburn is a lot of fun to watch.
