Dol, you forgot to make your picks

Dol, you forgot to make your picks

Crap I did make them ... looks like it didn't associate my picks to this league though. WTF!

Down goes Missouri!!!

[capstone21]

Down goes DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Down goes DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was awesome!!! Lehigh had that Gonzaga feeling to them, at least for me since I had never seen them play, and man I LOVED seeing them knock Duke out!

I loved it too! Being a UNC fan, this was almost as good as seeing North Carolina winning the whole thing. I loved that it was in North Carolina but it felt like an away game for Duke as it seemed that the fans were all cheering for Lehigh

Unless Ohio St. wins it all I think I may have it wrapped up.

They've got some talented scorers and Sullinger is a bull in the paint but they don't defend the rim for crap, although they are a pretty good perimeter defensive team. They barely beat my Syracuse team without our best player and everyone else shooting poorly.

Hey - just a heads up, it looks like It never linked my bracket to the Hawksquawk group.Maybe I was too late in trying to enter it, but here's my bracket.http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/en/entry?entryID=6344731Top 99% :-)

Impressive !This is the only bracket I have seen with Louisville in the Final 4.

Call it a hunch. I don't think there's any way they stop Unibrow Davis though.

The only college player I have seen who can handle Davis is Vandy's Ezeli.

[ATLJA316]

Think he's going to light up the NBA? I'm still undecided

[lethalweapon3]

Is it safe to congratulate coachx yet? What a close race, as it turned out!~lw3

[ATLJA316]

Am I eligible Dolfan?

[Admin]

Am I eligible Dolfan?

I will leave that up to Coach but I'd say no since you weren't in our group... but Coach can make that call since it's his victory he's giving up.

Unless Ohio St. wins it all I think I may have it wrapped up.

Congrats Coach! I will get your status changed today to Hawksquawk Supporter and get you a badge made in the next few days once I have a bit of time.
