i appreciate the help. i forgot there are those with smaller screens, and they may not be able to clearly see the bracket results. sorry about that, and thanks for the help "rickctroop13". ;)

 

by the way, i received the Blazing Sun Micro Geocoins today from "crowesfeat30", and they are really cute! pretty little round geocoins, the perfect prize and shape for a little round ball tournament! :blink:

I just do not get how the seeds are made like that! If a seed 11 team is not so good comparing to a Seed 3... how Washington is 20 points ahead of New Mexico???

 

Kansas was 1 and lost from a 9...

 

SMC was 10 and won a 2!!!

 

Ok... it is a game and in games with ball.... you are never sure of a result, but....

 

sorry for asking... A long time ago.. Greek TV used to show a small USA basketball championship... probably college... and there was a good team named UCLA... I can not see it in here... isn't this team playing here? Is it in an other leage?

OMG...#1 seed Kansas goes down! Kansas goes down! thats it, my bracket is officially in the crapper! :laughing:

That's OK with me . . . I've got Northern Iowa. ;)

congrats, Northern Iowa looks pretty good! their next game will be a good one!

this is exactly why it is called MARCH MADNESS! in one game of basketball, if the players are motivated and play hard, they can beat a better team...for just one day...for just one game...for just one shining moment...they can be better! its an amazing thing to see!

 

as for UCLA...yes they are a Division 1 University, but they did not have a very good season this year, so they were not invited to play in this tournament. there are close to 200 Division 1 teams in the USA, and only the top 64 get a chance to play in this tournament every year, so it is a very elite field of invited teams.

 

UCLA has won this tournament the most times with 11 championship titles!
