2013 FF NCAA Men`s Basketball Tournament Pool (Deadline: Thursday, March 21 @ 12:15 pm EST)

Welcome everyone to the annual NCAA Men`s Basketball Tournament Pool. This pool is open to all members of Fan Forum. Here are the rules:

1. Deadline to enter your picks is before tipoff of the first game on Thursday. Any submissions that comes after the tipoff of the first game won`t count.

2. No edits of the picks after the deadline. Any edits of the picks after the deadline will not count.

3. Only one submits per members.

4. No multiple accounts for the same users won`t be allowed.

5. All submission must be completed with picks for every round. Any incompleted submissions will only be partically counted.


As usual, scoring for the picks will be one point for every correct pick in the first round and then it will double in value with each progressing round. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be the score of the national championship game.

So that`s the information for the pool. I hope that everyone will have a lot of fun in playing the pool. Here is the bracket for this year`s tournament.

Horrible loss by Wisconsin. ''Experts'' had them as a safe pick to win at least today I thought. Kansas St. & Cincy are losing as well today.

Their goes my final 4 picks. Didn't watch the Bruins play much this season, but wonder how they got a #6 seed.

I can`t believe that you picked the Bruins for the Final Four. With the way they played last night, i wish that i had picked Minnesota instead of them.

Ben Howland's been to the Final 4 before, plus Kansas supposedly has issues at the PG position. I'm not a fan of the Wolverines in general, so that ruled them out. Florida I could've picked to win that region, but not after that S.E.C. title loss to Mississippi who were fortunate to win yesterday. Georgetown seemed like a solid option, but I'm Pac 12 biased also. Of course that pick wouldn't have worked out either since they didn't make it out of Round 2 this time.
