I need to go back & look. I tried to do 2 different picks. Hope it worked. If not - I'll go with what I've got. Thanks for helping me Anne!

:mecry: :mecry: Wait till the last minute to sign up. (story of my life these days). Yahoo wouldn't let me in. Guess I was too late. Oh well, I'll live vicariously through you guys.

You've got one set of picks in the pool, Betty. We can change 'em for the Second Chance round.

Memphis just squeaked by!

Cheers, Anne

I know. Like Donna, Boo Hoo. I'm 3 of 3 with Betty2.
Need to get off the computer & back to the games!

Memphis has a bad history of getting way, way too comfortable with their winning ways, and forgetting to play ball.

Donna, I didn't get in either. I'm way behind...& I can't blame it on the software. Anne & Cal State Northridge woke me up :)

well I'm kicking myself. Last night I had Texas beating BYU, but based on what I was hearing switched. Next year, I stick to my original choices! Speaking of Memphis, last night I had Missouri beating Memphis, but switched to Memphis...let's see if that's another one that I should have left alone.

BTW Mark: I would have picked UCLA to win a few rounds, except they just rejected my daughter!!!

Gil, sounds like the Philly crowd is rooting for American; isn't 'Nova a Philly school? :D

Michele, you can blame it on that fabulous trip you just took :) . Maybe they'll let us in the "second chance" pool.

Marc, American is only a hop, skip and a jump from Philly. When I was a kid, we'd think nothing of going 2 1/2 hours to see something we wanted to see.

Cheers, Anne

Thanks, Anne. We'll keep trying... It really isn't as much fun to just sit back & watch without a bet on the line :)

I know .. the brackets make it ever more interesting!

As of last night:

Kristin & Gary tied for first - nod to Gary with highest remaining possible points

Dena alone in 3rd place

Rudi and Arlene tied for 5th place - nod to Arlene

SIX of us are in the hoops pound together! Marc, as requested, is last of the last. Betty, Gil and I are tied for most of the last.

No one is still in the hunt for the $1 million dollars.

As of this morning

I'm cooling my heels in Newark Airport on my way to San Diego for the women's tourney this weekend. Will be back on the job on Wednesday morning. GO BLUE DEMONS!


Cheers, Anne

Anne - my 2nd one that Yahoo didn't take I am 11 out of 12. Clemson's loss is killing me.

USC and ARIZONA ROCK!!!

A great day for the PAC-10!

:banana: :banana: :banana: :app: :app:

USC is on a roll! Marc, if this keeps up, you'll win the pool! :ch: :ch: :ch:

Dena

Watched all of the USC vs. BC game....GREAT!
When does SC play next ?

Marcie, USC plays Sunday at 2 pm.

Betty, I'm sorry that Clemson's loss is killing you, but we sure are happy here in Ann Arbor! It's the first time in 11 years that our team has made it to the NCAA tournament. To beat Clemson after making it in by a hair as a wild card is very exciting for U of M fans.

Let's go blue!

How dare I pick against Wisconsin!? Oh, so they could WIN. :D I am very superstitious! No way they'll get past Xavier, though.

Who the heck is Cleveland State? Wow!!! As always, March Madness is the appropriate name for this tournament!

Thanks Dena....we won't miss it !

Is Michigan State favored ?

Okay - I will try for the 2nd chance pool since I couldn't get in the first one. Jayhawks aren't pretty - but they're still in the Madness!

EDITED AGAIN

Here's the link to the sports page. Look for the second chance tourney "join now" button.

Second Chance Tourney

The group # is 2050
The password is LCT (if that doesn't work, try lct)

For everyone in the main bracket - if you want to put in a second chance bracket, you've got to enter it into this group #.

Best of luck!

Cheers, anne

The group name I'm getting is Missouri Tigers??

Sue - thanks for the heads up. I've corrected the group ID to 2050 in the earlier post.

Unless, of course, we all want to enter the Mizzou Tigers. It must be public (ie, no password assigned) because our password was letting me into their bracket.

We COULD all pick Mizzou to go all the way .. it will screw up their bragging rights for the next year. :D I've been there for post season basketball and humbly suggest you don't want to mess with them on their home court.

cheers, the Commish

No self-respecting Jayhawk would belong to such a pool! And yes - they are good at home......

All self respecting Jayhawks or non-Jayhawks are welcome to LCT March Madness group 2050

Can you imagine - we beat Mizzou in double overtime for the NIT at home a few years ago? Lots of unhappy Mizzou tigers heading out of the stadium ....

Cheers, Anne

I have the 'Cats over the 'Zags in the final. I figure with that combination I don't have to worry about the tie-breaker. :D

It was meant in b-ball fun...

Ok, I'm in at the last minute on the second-chance bracket. Boy, I'm doing everything last minute these days. Happily clicked teams to win without any idea of how they've done this year. I've got to get out more :) .

Sue - I took it all in fun. Please forgive my twisted brain; I meant the comment in fun, too. No offense intent.

Donna, welcome to the second chance pool. Best of luck to all of us on its outcome.

Cheers, Anne

Anne, we are in for the 2nd round! Lots of good b-ball ahead!!!! Thanks Anne, for setting up the group and the second chance for we, who were unavoidable detained. :)

Betty - welcome aboard and welcome home! I would have loved to join you on FUN, but as many know, I lose my mind the first weekend of March in favor of basketball fervor.

Glad you are home safely, and in our second chance bracket!! Games are now underway ... may the best bracket win.

Cheers, Anne

oops I didn't see this till now. Busy trying to finish up a drawing. Guess I'm in the other second chance bracket. Oh well.

Here are the standings in the LCT Second chance tourney:

Betty 4 for 4 128 possible points
Marc 3 for 4 116
Betty & Larry 2 for 4 120
Michele 2 for 4 120
Anne 2 for 4 112
Donna 2 for 4 88
Sue 1 for 4 92

Cheers, Anne

Betty, 4 for 4. How'd you do that?

Betty is smokin' hot on the second chance tourney. 8 out of 8!

Arlene has crept into the lead in the regular tourney bracket.

Looks like Big East IS this year's Big Beast.

Cheers, Anne

nope, not anymore. it was fun while it lasted! I'm now rooting for Nova!

Well now I'm rooting for the underdogs of MI State. And I am so happy for our miserable MI economy that the Final Four is being played here. This will bring more than a few dollars into our state.

I'm thrilled for Michigan State!!!! May they go all the way...it would sure be refreshing for a BIG TEN team to win it all.
