Thanks bac. If we win two, where do we play in the sweet 16?

Thanks again. Great work!!

 

[koko2315]

Nice job
What a fall from grace providence

 

[King of S]

UConn is overrated at a four.

 

[shields]

Would like St.Mary's

 

[King of S]

Clemson in, Arizona St. out - hopefully

 

[GRU23]

Taking a chance with my predictions and putting OK State over Pitt. Yours look pretty good though.

 

[GRU23]

One good thing about the 11 is I couldn’t be less threatened by these 3 seeds

 

[RUsojo]

Would like St.Mary's

Any particular reason? Want no part of them they’re poised for a run imo

 

[erdelyaj]

From your keyboard to God’s ears 🙏🏼

 

[RUforester72]

Thanks Bac. Now hoping…….

 

[fatsam98]

Or the 6s. Aggies would be tough but I'm not scared of Kentucky or St Marys

 

[shields]

Think our D would give them trouble.

 

[bac2therac]

If i made any mistakes please let me know

I had to do some shifts on the bracket and in panic mode

 

[cicero grimes]

Great work. Thanks as always for doing this. I still have a funny feeling they put us in dayton.

 

[RUJMM78]

Arizona can't be one of the last four in.Arizona State is the team. you wanted.Great job BAC with all your hard work in predicting the brackets.

 

[G- RUnit]

Awesome job BAC!

Would love this!

 

[cicero grimes]

These last 10 minutes are the worst.

 

[cicero grimes]

Shaka smart is a good coach Marquette could be dangerous.

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

Thanks for all you did. Hope you are right. I give you credit to your process. Right or wrong you kept RU out of Dayton. I saw many others who had them 1-2 spots above, last minute move to Dayton as everyone else did.

one question. why only 83 brackets on the matrix now. Was up to 118 at one point.

 

[RUsojo]

If i made any mistakes please let me know

I had to do some shifts on the bracket and in panic mode

You have the arizona wildcats as last four in

 

[koko2315]

Shaka smart is a good coach Marquette could be dangerous.

Not sold on Shaka
Came out of nowhere with VCU and underachieved big time at texas

 

[fatsam98]

Great job BAC. It all seems so rushed with the tourneys only just finishing. But at same time I just need to know where we're going

 

[bac2therac]

Arizona can't be one of the last four in.Arizona State is the team. you wanted.Great job BAC with all your hard work in predicting the brackets.

Thanks..had it right in the bracket

 

[hbbsm713]

Thanks Bac. Appreciate the work you put in for this.

 

[RU23]

Typo in Auburn.

Great bracket season bac, hope you're right!

 

[Degaz-RU]

Yeah thank you bac for all that you do here. Keeps us all engaged with objectivity and facts.

Bravo!

 

[shields]

Long day for sure.

 

[cicero grimes]

Here we go.

 

[koko2315]

Let’s go!

 

[biazza38]

[cicero grimes]

Maryland gets an 8 seed.

 

[cicero grimes]

NC state gets an 11 and a bye. Wtf. I hatecthecacc bias.

 

[rupittsburgh]

NC state gets an 11 and a bye. Wtf. I hatecthecacc bias.

[cicero grimes]
