2016 NCAA Basketball Tourney
First tip off is about to go up for this years tournament. Who do you have in your pool to win it all?
I've got Michigan St although I'm hoping for a good run from my Oregon Ducks!

I don't have any money on any brackets this year. I'm a Big Ten guy so i'm rooting for Michigan State although I think a Kansas vs NC final with Kansas winning is what my bracket would be.

My heart says Villanova, but my bracket has Kansas winning it all.

I chose MSU as well. So, you have no chance. Sorry. I just really am bad at "bracketology"...

MSU. Of course, as an Ivy League grad, I'm hoping our league representative (Yale) wins at least one game...

Lots of good games so far! I've picked a good number of the upsets correctly in my bracket, but sure didn't see Michigan State losing (I had them in the Final Four).

Wow what a heart-breaking loss for UNI. Amazing game. It was hard to see SFA go down to Notre Dame at the buzzer too. Go Zags!

Wow. I did not expect Wisconsin to make it to the sweet 16. Now I wouldn't be surprised if they made it to the elite 8. Notre Dame is not better than Xavier so Wisconsin has a good chance of beating them. Go Badgers!

Both my Syracuse Orange Men and Women made the Sweet 16. Not bad considering the experts had the men going to the NIT this year.
I'll root for the Orange but any money would have to be on UNC.
