i had duke in the sweet 16, other than that Gonzaga and ODU i had wrong, but not advancing any further.  13-16 today, not great, but mildly disappointing, considering i flip-flopped on VCU/Duke 3 different times and ended up with the wrong choice.  
 
   i wonder how many people who had VCU picked them solely out of hatred for Duke.

me too! I go to vcu and for the first time ever I have some semblance of school spirit. damn I really hate duke...at least someone finally took them off their high horse.

I didn't realize there were so many VCU Alums here.  I only really watch NASCAR  but tuned in as I went to VCU (97-2001).  That game was exciting. I didn't know that most of their players are from such small places like Amelia.  I was as excited about VCU last night as I was when I got accepted there.  A bit of bandwagonig? Perhaps.

I have UVA in my final four too. . A mistake I'm fearing, I think getting accepted to the school definitely swayed my decision.

UVA is not going to the final four. if they get past albany/long beach/tennessee, they will get crushed by ohio state.
 
 i had duke beating VCU but losing to pittsburgh. i had GW over vanderbilt and they got embarrassed. other than that, i got the rest right except for ODU/butler and xavier/BYU.
 
 day one was sort of boring...one upset, and only two close games. hopefully, today will be more exciting.

Woohoo! I picked Winthrop over Notre Dame as well.
 
 Also, my adopted home state U. beats my alma mater.

so whats your record mr rhett? mines a slightly disappointing 19-4.  hopefully i can get at least 7 of 8 tonight.

Right now I'm 21-4, including the play-in game. Not bad considering I haven't watched a college basketball game in years. I probably pickd too many first round upsets, but my wife and I are playing a game where you're rewarded bonus points for upsets.
