Don't pick teams to continue further in the big dance even though they came off a brilliant conference run despite not winning their conference tourney. Thank you, Georgetown.

I hear ya - I've lost 4 Sweet 16 teams under similar circumstances (though not GT, cause I thought they'd lose in the 2nd round) - somehow I still have all Elite 8 left though
Huge bracket buster. Better than 50% of the pley on yahoo and CBS picked Kansas to be the tourney winner.
If Pitt and WV can make the final four I have a good shot at winning 3 of my 4 brackets cause those few not picking Kansas picked UK or Cuse.
You could think of government workers like teenagers. You pay them an allowance, but do you get any work out them? They eat the food, put their feet on the furniture and complain loudly whenever they are unhappy.
I think this year is the worst I have ever done in the tourney. I have lost alot of teams I had going deep. The upsets always get me. They are a huge risk to try and pick so I rarely do.

Bah...Kansas didn't get "screwed." I don't care where N. Iowa "should" have been seeded, Kansas was the #1 overall seed and should have taken care of business. People are arguing that they got screwed by the region they were in too, "they had the toughest road" blah blah blah. So what? This is supposed to be the best team in the tourney, play like the best team in the tourney and beat whoever is put in front of you. And N. Iowa as a 4 seed? I dunno bout that. Seven seed, six maybe. Doesn't matter really, if N. Iowa was/is so good Kansas would have had to play them eventually anyway.
