    I haven't matched up picks to brackets...anyone take all three teams from the same region? Increase your odds of making the final four

    I'm not smart enough to think of that, but just noticed that my Oregon and Purdue picks re both in the Midwest. Now if those pesky Kansas Jayhawks and Louisville Cardinals would just cooperate....

    I thought about doing that at one point...but felt like only having 3 teams in the same bracket (especially with major gaps in seeding) wasn't enough of an advantage to outweigh picking teams that I actually thought could do some damage regardless of region. If I could have picked 3 teams with top 5 seeding from a single region, I certainly would have.

    Lots of good games in the first two rounds. I've been battling bronchitis since Wednesday, so I got to watch a lot of games. Nice pick by @Moc513 in the 3rd round. Xavier looking pretty good so far.

    I don't think they will have enough gas in the tank to get to the Final 4 though

    Yesterday did not go as I hoped. I was pulling for WVU (local-est team), Michigan (big ten), purdue (big 10), and Arizona (would have won $250 if they won the whole tournament). I hope today is a little better:

    Go Xavier!!! I have them in this pool and Gonzaga in the team takeover pool I run. I just need Xavier to win or Gonzaga to cover and I'm guaranteed beer somewhere
