KU Buckets Bracket Challenge!
-
@dylans sheeeeit, no, the groups are locked. guess we got the Western Conference and Eastern Conference.
-
Well I’m in the west lol
-
@HawkInMizery congrats on the perfect bracket after day 1!
-
@approxinfinity Looks like the East is locked now, but the West says:
Locking Rules: Unlocked - Brackets may leave/join group at any time
So maybe people can still join the Western Conference?
-
@approxinfinity he’s had a good 2 weeks!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes i have!!! @approxinfinity thank you my friend. I still have two perfect brackets and a few less than perfect. I;ve never had a perfect bracket after a date. im sure im going to have my bracket burned in flames tomorrow
-
Two of my brackets had not been assigned to a group. I just joined the West group and so far looking good.
-
@tundrahok Ok I’ll unlock the East as well.
-
@drgnslayr Thanks appreciated - but since mine got blown out of the water . The best bracket I got out of all my entries I have one that I am 15-1 - that’s in my CBS bracket challenge but even being 15-1 there my ranking is like 93871 ranked - -how crazy is that one loss and your ranked 93,000 lol. - -Got several withl a couple of 14-2 , and some 13-3 but it’s still fun. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 very similar to my own picks
-
@jayballer54 Still perfect on CBS, but not ESPN. Hopefully our champion pulls the point total up!
-
I have one perfect bracket left. That Michigan game made me sweat and this Arkansas game is too.
-
Jesus said “the last shall be first and the first last” so I got that going for me.
-
@dylans awesome, had to kind of laugh I am 15-1 in one bracket and my rank is like 9,378 - -JUMPIN - - -GEE - - HOSSA - -FATS lmao - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@wissox My gym teacher said, “And the last shall be last” when I puffed across the finish line once. Just sayin’…
-
Perfect no more. SMU burned me
-
@well done! Yeah, SMU burned me too. So did Okie state, so did Xavier
-
@HawkInMizery Dah. flippin SMU.
-
@Lulufulu They are the only ones who have burned me so far sitting pretty at 23-1 still in the 100th percentile.
-
@HawkInMizery well done! Next year, I’ll pick my brackets with your advice
-
@Lulufulu haaha i got lucky. I’ve never had a streak of 21 straight and had SMU not pooped the bed i would have been perfect up until the ksucks loss a few moments ago
-
@HawkInMizery Yep, Kstate bit the dust…dammit
-
@Lulufulu jerks!
-
@Lulufulu did they play hard though?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 idk, didn’t watch that game
-
Well, barring an epic meltdown, it looks like we draw Sparty on Sunday. They are good but I think KU is better, faster, more athletic, more experienced. Lets go!
-
How do the matchups work on Sunday vs MSU?
Does Jackson guard McQuaid? Do we go two bigs?
-
No. We play our game. Make them guard 4 perimeter players.
-
Tonight was probably the best game Michigan St. has played all year. There were only 2 categories where they had a significant advantage tonight and that was FG% and rebounding. 57% from the field and +13 on rebounds are the only categories where Sparty had a significant advantage so I think KU should be able to handle them. There’s a reason why Sparty lost 14 games this season and it’s because they’re a shell of their normal selves. If KU plays their normal game and MSU plays their normal game, KU will win. It would take a repeat of tonight’s performance for Sparty for them to win.
-
Damm, did anyone hear that unbelievable BOOM? - - Well if you did, not to worry, it was just my brackets just bottoming out, crash landing like one of my worst nightmares - -OOOPS oh well it is what it is,. just like playing Russian Roulette, in one of my brackets I was 12-4 in the first 16, and ranked like are you ready? - -138548, roflmao, but finished up the round 25-7 jumped up from 138548 to 94,150- -hey got them on the run lol - - BUT on my other where I was 15-1 after the 1st 16 I finished the round at 27 -5 - - even with just one miss I was ranked 13,431 - -but NOW I am ranked 89,486. – NOW you al see why I do not bet lol. - -HEY the one that maters is still there OUR HAWKS. that’s all that really matters. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 Out of the almost 14 million brackets on espn only a few hundred are still perfect. Looking at those brackets the popular picks to win it all are Gonzaga, Kentucky, Arizona, and Kansas. Duke, UCLA and even WVU got a little love, but those four are the favorites by the people with current perfect brackets.
-
The Dark Side has joined the party.
I was a little late moving my bracket into the group. Today was the first time since last Sunday that I even looked at it.
Needless to say- pleasantly surprised at 98.6% - sorry @JRyman for knocking you off the top line!
Picked the Big 12 perfectly so far. Missed 3 teams with Maryland being the toughest hit since I had them going two more I think. Then SMU who I had going 1 more. But could really kick myself for not picking WI who I normally pull for now that they don’t play God-awful slowdown offense (sorry @wissox).
Will see from here. Rock Chalk.
-
And that was probably short lived…had Nova in the NC game and losing there. I knew that first WI pick was going to hurt (the bracket - I’m actually happy). I just didn’t realize how badly.
But, I’m guessing a lot of people fall off the pace too now.
-
And one of my 2 brackets has now moved into 3rd place in the “west” bracket group. Thank you Wisconsin!
-
Didn’t realize 2 of my 3 brackets weren’t in the KUB West group or any group for that matter. Just got them moved and hot damn, looks like I’m at the top.
-
Omg that’s a rediculous carry by Kennard dribbling through traffic. Come on
-
Can’t just pick the ball up and run with it when it suits you
-
But I’ll gladly give up that spot if SC and Cinn hang on.
-
@brooksmd wish I picked like you then because things are falling just about how I like em!
-
@approxinfinity Think you’re in wrong thread.
-
Doh ha. So I am! Thanks
-
Only 18 brackets out of 18.8 million that have the sweet 16 correct. It takes a rare hybrid fan a S. Carolina/Michigan fan to get it correct.
Duke was in the final four of around 8 million of the 18.8 million brackets. Including 7 of mine.
-
Duke plays basketball? I thought they were just a bunch of ambulance chasers!
-
Oh yeah… Duke… and perhaps the reason they lost -
Duke lost to South Carolina because they were too easy to hate
Works for me.
-
-
I just wanna say that my bracket is Trashed!!! Thanks Nova, thanks Duke. Its cool though, I’m ok with it. Our boys are still dancing and we get home court advantage for the next ( hopefully ) two games
-
Two of mine are tied for #5 but the one at #14 has a much better potential. We shall see…
Any chance of merging the groups?
-
@JayHawkFanToo no chance of merging the groups, unless everyone wants to move their bracket to the other group.
-
I have only checked the West bracket and I am not sure how well the East is doing or how many members it has. Perhaps the group with less member can move to the one with more? I would certainly be willing to do it since it is really not that difficult or time consuming.
-
Here’s an opportunity to start a new bracket at the sweet sixteen. Discard that busted bracket and enter one in the second chance challenge. The number of entries is unlimited, but it’s more sporting to only enter one instead of 25!
Best of luck to all!
