WIth that brutal bracket, I give Louisville one-chance-in-three of getting to the final four. And that is assuming that Louisville is the best team entering the tournament.

I have to admit - I really want to see UK play Wichita St.
You should get your wish. Just take care of K-State first.

I didn't want to give them my phone number but I did and then immediately placed their number on spam.

Does it ask for each person who enters a bracket for a phone number? If so, we'll need to find another bracket challenge

Can't you just give a bogus phone number?

if the winner has a pay-pal account I don't see why not - we don't pay until the tourney is over and the winner is decided

While I encourage people to join the pay to play pool, anyone can join our brackets. You have to post here ahead of time that you are in the pay pool

I gave them my phone number, as soon as they sent me the verification code, I sent them a message back that just said "Stop" and they replied that I had been taken off the list to receive any further messages...

They play 6 guys and one of them is a transfer scrub from Wake, UNC should be all to wear them down and get them in foul trouble.

Except the refs are always against UNC. At least from what I've heard you say...

I just joined, I'm not in this for the money though

if we can sort it out that people buy-in via paypal and the commissioner holds the pot and pays out to the winner, then I'll reconsider

otherwise I'll pass because chasing individual members for the money is too much of a hassle

Yahoo has pulled some shady shyt lately, I like the fact that most sites let me login using either my facebook or twitter account, about a month ago Yahoo forced me to create a yahoo id

then this phone number BS pops up, weak sauce

this year's CAN-CON is obvious

1) Kansas - Wiggins

2) Michigan - Stauskas

3) Syracuse - Ennis

don't see Syracuse making alot of noise, Kansas won't get past Florida unless Embiid is 100%, which is not likely

Stauskas on the other hand, I really like his chances to get back to the final four, but I think Louisville will take the West bracket

KU turns the ball over too much...and the Embiid injury...to make any noise. I liked them until I saw that they could never get their point guard play under control all year.

On the Yahoo thing, blame Marissa Mayer. She has a plan for the Yahoo brand...and that plan starts with decoupling it from platforms that don't directly contribute to their revenue stream. Not a bad business move, but is hell on the people used to things being different.
