March Madness

[Lyndhurst 14]

Anybody in the US doing the brackets?

Like the looks of Villanova and Duke in the East, Arizona and Gonzaga in the West, Kansas in Mid-West and North Carolina and UCLA in the South.

Going with Kansas and Duke in the Final, with Kansas winning.

I know you're speaking in English, but beyond that, I'm really struggling here.

I assume this is the weird North American fascination with COLLEGE sport. I was having brunch with a friend yesterday, and she was trying to convince me how exciting it is. I was really struggling to pretend I was interested.

That. I thought this was going to be another one moaning about Jiri starting over Solly.

I've think I've been in the States too long - I only do it for money, won $150 off the saps in the office last year

Am I right in saying it's just an office SWEEPSTAKE, but they somehow make it really complicated?

You're right - they make it really complicated, but it whiles away a few hours at work

Never done it before but got a company email about it, got North Carolina beating someone in the final, know nothing about Basketball let alone the kids version but I might win money.

If you end up watching any in a bar just remember to (a) whoop loudly and (b) scream 'good hustle kid' at the TV. You will achieve expert status.

As it's college basketball, I assume each team has a player who's forgotten his PE kit and has to wear whatever he finds in the lost property bin.

Love a bracket challenge. Will be going into this year's with hardly any knowledge at all. Oregon to make a surprise run to the final four. Otherwise I agree with the Kansas/Duke shout.

 

[chrispyk]

Michigan State all the way!

 

[Lower West Stander]

When I was living in New York I really struggled with this. I just couldn't find an affinity with any team (mainly because I didn't go to college in the US), but the national obsession with it is amazing.

I'm sticking to hoping the Rangers put a decent run together and avoid the Caps in the playoffs......

Duke have been a bit up and down, and obviously suffered when Coach K was recovering from his op, but beating UNC in the ACC Championship game is probably more of an indication of how they will go from now. Also being a 2 seed could well suite them.

I said Duke at the start of the season so will stay with them,

Wow, I'm impressed at your knowledge of something so completely and utterly irrelevant!

Blimey, I like American Football and can stand to watch Baseball but Basketball is a step too far, would rather watch Netball even if I know most of the participants are rug munchers...

 

[matt]

I've got a Final Four of Duke, Arizona, Oregon and UNC, with Duke beating UNC in the final....

I can cope with acne, they're supposed to have that.
I can even cope with the 'units'.
I found Gonzaga's 'outhouse' sporting a beard the Bruno would be proud of, hard to accept.

But come on a Wichita State pupil with male pattern baldness just made a brief cameo.

I'm 47 and i look young than that kid.

Going to see Madness over here on April 11th.
