I remember doing this a few years ago but never saw one last year, so I set one up over at Yahoo. All for fun, bragging rights and entertainment purposes only. Standard Yahoo scoring.

https://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com

Then click find a pool and use the information below.

Is it weird that I think Virginia's hardest game in their road to Indy might be Belmont? I think if they get past them they are good. If Belmont scores upwards of 70-80 points, I don't see how Virginia hangs with them.

If they score 80 on Virginia they will win. They aren't going to score close to 80 on them. Three teams didn't score 30 against Virginia this year. 15 teams didn't score 50 on them. I see this as a bad matchup for Belmont.

I'm in, by the way.

I just jumped in. For bragging rights, I'll do it. Honestly though, I no longer carry my "sheet of integrity" with me when I watch games anymore. I'd rather just enjoy the games, the friends, and the adult sodas.

In the last 3-4 years, I've gotten to the point that watching the games without filling out a bracket for money is far more fun.

When I cared about filling out a bracket, I printed a copy and took it and a pen to wherever I was watching. Obviously smartphone apps sorta replace that. I still kind of like have moments of old-fashioned every once in awhile.

Touché and that's pretty much how I feel about fantasy football now too; enough is enough.

I will say, I'm a lot more interested in filing out a March Madness sheet when Ohio is in the Tournament; I feel like I have more of a vested interest. This year I just shrug my shoulders. Kentucky will win the thing anyway.

Edit: I'm filing out an entry tomorrow.

I hear ya Mark. Should head over to Cyclone sites and see how many folks want the Mayor impeached for his lack of post season advancement?

Baylor goes down to our Indiana products Hunter and Hunter

X killing Ole MIss

Is State huge shocker

At Least Butler is holding serve thus far. They seem to come to play come tourney tie but with all 5 Indiana teas in one bracket with UK no one is going anyplace...

Wanting to watch Georgetown pull their regualr grasp for the throat but the way this tourney is going I expect they will probably actually win.

G town whacks a guy and it is a no call. Blatant beating that Reggie Miller commented on and the color guy follows up 5 possessions later by saying G town has successfully brought a very physical presence to the game. Hell yes.

I hate that they beat on folks and for some reason it is OK. Wich I had a clip of the no call. Ridiculous, should have been a flagrant one IMO. Crowd is swaying toward E Wash.

I got a message from someone who said Yahoo was showing them as no longer in the pool on their account. I verified I was still able to see them in the list of 47 members when I log in. Just to be safe, I took a screen print of their bracket to score manually if needed.

Anyone else having issues viewing the pool?

My bracket was pretty much toast at about 5:00pm on the first day, and it was later confirmed that night. I haven't checked the website since. But I'm not bitter or anything, that shirt would have made a nice addition to my work attire. Grrrrrr

Same thing for me too! Iowa State and Villanova pretty much did me in.
