O/T Net54 March Madness

[StraightRaceCards]

Last year we did an ESPN tournament challenge pool for the Net54 community and gave cards out to the winner.

I had a blast and would gladly help put this together again.

This was moved to the front page, from the water cooler section, so more members will see it. Good luck to all!

You are right.

For some reason, that link wasn't working.

I've updated all the links and this should work:

Or you can search net54 in the Groups and it will pop up

The new link worked for me. I'm in. Thanks for setting this up.

[pawpawdiv9]

Officially in & done. Threw in an upset.

[Orioles1954]

I'll mail some 1960s-1970s cards to the winner...unless it's me I'm in.

[GoCubsGo32]

I'm in!

Thank you! Hail Purdue!

[StraightRaceCards]

This will be my last post regarding the signups... then we can move this page back to the Watercooler...

There is a solid crew of 15 folks already in- Come join in the fun and win cards.

Brackets officially lock at 11:15 CST, so make sure to join before then

[martin neal]

I'm in too. Thanks.

[pawpawdiv9]

Alright I’m not officially sitting on the toilet
����
Hey auburn guy— have fun sitting atop - won’t last long
Expecting to lose in sweet 16 or elite8 ???

Forsake someone picked McNeese over Clemson����

[BobbyStrawberry]

Arkansas beating St. Johns was a bracket buster!

[StraightRaceCards]

After a thrilling Buzzer Beater last night, it appears as CBM off the top rope has a 20 point lead.

Chasing him closely are Commishbob N54, Cgjackson2222 and Stmoose just 20 points behind.

We've got a close battle for the prize, should be fun to see how this plays out.

I've got 7/8 chances to get the elite 8 right, so hoping it will turn out nicely.

Thanks everyone who jumped in, looking forward to seeing the rest of the tournament!

My daughter picked McNeese to win it all

March Madness is easily my favorite sporting event of the year. I've got Alabama winning it all, but Go Blue!

[pawpawdiv9]

Go Florida!!!!!
7 min to go-10 pts down
What about those 3 pointers- Wow

[TUM301]

4 number 1 seeds go all the way through. Me thinks the transfer portal and NIL monies might be the beginning of the NCAA killing the golden goose. Final 8 was 1-2 1-2. 1-2. 1-3. Gone, for this year anyway, are the VCU’s George Mason’s San Diego St’s etc. Much that makes this tourney so special is watching and hoping for Cinderella but not this season. Strange, the NCAA football playoff had the exact opposite happen. Maybe I’m off but just my 2 cents.

It's hard to draw any conclusions from a single year's tournament. If the same thing is seen in the next year or two, you could be on to a reason.

[StraightRaceCards]

Looks like CommishBob and whoever ESPN51138490 is are squaring off for the championship.

My hunch says Houston, but I picked Florida in this bracket challenge.

ESPN person, please identify yourself so I’ll know who it is haha.

Thanks for everyone who participated!

[commishbob]

I've never come close to having an accurate bracket until this year. LOL


I'm hoping my Coogs can pull out one more win on Monday night. As a fan I've been lucky enough to have seen my teams (Orioles, Baltimore Colts, NY Rangers, Man United, Houston Rockets) all win at least one championship, all except the Cougars. Time to close the circle. I was in attendance at The Game Of The Century and it caused me to fall in love with this basketball program. Counting my student passes and my time working for the athletic department I've been watching for 55 years. I'm ready to celebrate.

[GoCubsGo32]

Still in shock how Duke had an epic meltdown. There goes my bracket lol

Houston getting it done...barely winning against my Boilermakers, then Duke.

Will be a tough matchup against UF.

[BobbyStrawberry]

Anticlimactic ending to a pretty great game.

[cgjackson222]

Did our pool champ "ESPN51138490" ever identify themself?

Bit of a grind last night, but still very exciting. 11 lead changes.

Love March Madness!

[commishbob]

Disappointing finish for me as a UH alum but credit to the Gators. They adjusted and played well in the 2nd half. They took away open looks for the Coogs which would not have been a problem had UH been able to work the glass like they normally do. Florida is a tough rebounding club as well so UH's usual game of tip-ins, kick outs for quick, open second chance buckets wasn't there.

I'm blaming my wife for the loss. She dozed off at halftime and when she woke up the Coogs had gone up by 12. Soon as she woke up they fell apart. '-)

Thanks for running the contest. I normally fill out a bracket and forget about it but this gave me a reason to keep up with it.

[pawpawdiv9]

Congrats to the winner, whomever it is.
This was fun again, hope to do it again next year.
Finished top 3, i'm happy my Gators won!!!!

[skelly]

It might be myself as the winner, I put a bracket in, but I don’t think I gave it a name, hence the generic ESPN with the numbers.
