BTB.COM NCAA TOURNAMENT BRACKET CHALLENGE

by KD Drummond on Mar 16, 2010 6:15 PM CDT

Just for fun- no entry fee-- a little competition to see how well you know your college b-ball.

http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/en/group?groupID=110691

Group: BTB.COM BRACKET BUSTERS

Feel free to sign up as many sheets of integrity as you so choose. I think the max per email is 5 entries. If we get enough people signed up, I'll send a small (under $40) gift from the Cowboys catalog to the champ at the end of the proceedings. Unless of course I win, then I'll probably give the 2nd place person something.

Make sure to include your sbnation name in your entry, so you have your bragging rights-

peace and good luck-

a fellow Big East Fan, huh Terry

Georgetown all the way— gotta admit I was really surprised that the Panthers excelled this year with all the roster losses they suffered. Jamie Dixon is a great coach

I'm really surprised as well

I never thought they would end up a 3rd seed in the tourney. BTW, I have your Hoyas losing to Kansas in the Midwest regional.

KDP, what the hell happened to your Hoyas??

I can’t believe Ohio beat them so convincingly.

maaaaaaaan

i am devastated. its like theyve never seen a guard penetrate and kick before— time after time they just let them penetrate kick, swing, score.

i think they exhausted themselves in the big east tourney playing 4 in 4 days. then when ohio hit them in the mouth they just never mustered the energy to make up the difference. disappointing cuz they were playing with so much energy in NY last week.

o well, gotta root for the Terps tonite- hope they can bring me a little hometown happiness

that happened to Pitt a few years back

The Big East Tourney is so tough and physical, it just wears you down before the Big Dance. Actually, I’m glad Pitt lost it’s first game in the Big East Tourney for that reason.

Here is the breakdown:

If Duke wins on saturday, NJCowboys fan wins the pool; If WVU wins on saturday, I take it.

Madmick is the leader going into the Final Four, but he cannot get any more points.

M Madden S Smith and J Fisher

pick some items out of the catalog and let me know what your prize would be— anything under $35 should be ok once shipping gets added.

if you aren’t continental US let me know, that might make this tricky

thanks to all for participating and be on the look out for my mock draft contest.

Thanks for trying everyone

it was a fun and crazy tourney…. Instead of picking something from the catalog is it possible to just use the prize to donate to send Raf, Dave and company to training camp?
