How can someone do this?
 
http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/html/view?entryID=258432

That girl is 16/16 on the 16 first round games today. She picked the Milwaukee upset and the UAB upset.

She's either very lucky or very good, and I'm leaning towards very lucky. So are the rest of people that predicted both of those, although the UAB upset was a lot less surprising than the Milwaukee one.

I thought the 5-12 upset was going to be Villanova-NM for sure. Now I hope it doesn't happen.

Here's my theory though: with millions of people entering on the site, a few are going to manage to predict all 16 right, and a couple are going to do the entire bracket right.

or you just had no clue what you were talking about when you said UWM was awful. Just admit it, it'll make you feel good.

Ok I take it back, they're not as bad as I thought. But admit that you did not pencil that upset in on your bracket. No one I knew did. I bet you had Alabama in your sweet 16 just like me bud.

I'm 15/16, and tied for like 50,000! I know you need to have an almost perfect bracket to win the thing. To tie into another recent OOT thread, my team name is 'The Jay Machines,' truly one of the best team names ever. Check it out if you want to sweat me!

p.s., 'Bama was AWFUL the second half of the year. UWM is pretty good, and if you looked at the trends of both teams, you could see it. Yes, I did have it.

As for tomorrow, COME ON OLD DOMINION!!

I picked both UAB and UWM to win in the first round. The SEC isn't particularly strong this year.

Which one did you miss then?

I hope Old Dominion beats Michigan State evne though it would f my bracket up. Old Dominion would be much easier for SU than Michigan State.

No I told you the other day I had Bama beating them. However, my whole argument with you came purely from you calling UWM awful. They clearly are not. However I had BC beating Bama so them losing didnt really effect my bracket.

So all your sweet sixteen picks that played today are still in it?

It doesn't impress me.

I could have said that FD was an awesome team yesterday and I would have looked like a basketball genius had it panned out. But I didn't. I still don't think Milwaukee is that good. I don't think BC will have trouble with them.
