OT: NCAA Tourney Pick'em

[HisIceness]

****ing Iowa State/Baylor/SMU.

 

[HisIceness]

My bracket is already dead.

RIP

Gonna pour one out for your bracket and mine. #thuglife

 

[the halleJOKEL]

is this real life

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

I wish I could say I screamed in jubilation, but really I had already resigned myself to losing, so...meh.

 

[Brock Anton]

LOLOLOLSU

Miss what, your last 12 shots and last 6 free throws? That is literally one of the biggest chokes I've seen.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

It's the biggest choke I've seen since NCST-St. Louis.

 

[What the Faulk]

What a day.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

i would argue that nc state - st louis was worse because it was predictable from the second we got that lead and they started fouling us with like 5 minutes left or whatever

 

[RodTheBawd]

That was the most anti-NC State **** I've ever seen. It's incredible to be on the other side of something like that for once.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

still not as bad of a choke job as state vs st louis last tournament

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

That should've been ECU not SMU tbh

We probably would've lost, but still

 

[GinoLucia2217]

I'm done. In all of the games that I've gotten wrong I haven't been wrong by more than 3 points.

Iowa state
Harvard
Wofford was winning for 3/4 of the game but lost by 3
Purdue
SMU
Georgetown finally won
Baylor.

Wtf is this witchcraft

At least my final four is intact Oklahoma Kentucky Wisconsin Duke

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

Wtf is this witchcraft

Witchcraft is my virtual flipping coin correctly picking both GA State and UAB and also getting almost all the other games right. I think I counted 3 misses, meaning that bracket would be tied for #1 right now.

Of course, it was so ridiculous that I just had to re-do it. Now that I have, I missed them both.

 

[Brock Anton]

Burn the couches!

 

[DaveG]

We must ignite this couch.

 

[bluedevil58*]

Let's go devils! !!!!!!

 

[Brock Anton]

Who cares if he can coach or not, somebody hire UC Irvine's assistant coach as a head guy.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

I am no longer regretting my decision to redo my bracket.

rip in peace ucirvine

 

[HisIceness]

How the **** did NC State win that game? Better yet how the **** did LSU go ice cold in the last 3 minutes?

 

[gocanes88]

Oh wow that was a while ago. Yep, that's her.

Ha! That's awesome. She wasn't there long but she was always really nice to me.

 

[Novacane]

We are getting ****ing jobbed

 

[What the Faulk]

If I counted correctly, only 4 of 19 people had NC State beating Villanova: Alex(?), myself, Dinz and Stephen Goalbert. Isn't unbridled optimism part of the NC State curriculum?





says the guy who picked UNC to win it all

I'm Alex. It wasn't so much optimism, but more about thinking it would be bad mojo to say they would lose that early. I figured they had a chance if Nova didn't hit their shots and well, they did and it happened. For me, everything past this point is a plus for State. Very happy with their play.

 

[HisIceness]

There were several talking heads who thought NC St or LSU would beat Villanova in the second round, I figured Villanova would take that into account and use that as motivation but I guess they did not.

 

[What the Faulk]

^ I just think Villanova wasn't that good, and NC State has played some good games in a tough conference.

I feel similar to UNC. Wisconsin (probably) isn't going to be an easy matchup for them. If they lose, at least they're a young team with no important seniors. I doubt anyone is going to jump either. 2016 is crucial though. Paige, Brice, Tokoto are all seniors. Justin Jackson has looked good lately, but I'm not sure where he fits moving forward.
