good morning everyone…congrats to all those who advanced.
not saying bad or complaints, but Oakland officiating was awful yesterday. Horrible called on possession at the end of of the game, that could have send Oakland to the Sweet 16.

I loved it. did not make any money from the contest, but had a WONDERFUL TIME, and definitely enjoyed it.

again, good luck to the remaining …

I would like to ask 1 favor, and that if we could have like a consensus picks on future picks, let it be posted. Maybe I would tail the pick on real live betting to help mybankroll…

Good contest, @bkrebs07 . So many close games; a missed shot here and there and you’d have won this. Good luck.

Only 1 seed upset is pretty suprising! GL to everyone in the next round

Yep. And he was the scorekeeper. :grin: (not to mention any names)

I’m not saying there was anything fishy going on. :roll_eyes: But…

:money_mouth_face:

I’ll be the lowest seed in the Elite 8, but I thrive on disrespect! :wink:

Don’t forget, @Jajaoly. @Rmilia1 is only going to pick Sunday games next week, and the deadline won’t be until Saturday night. So you don’t have to check the forum for the next 5 days. :roll_eyes: :crossed_fingers:

Now that there are only 8 left, you can tag everyone in the same post. So I guess I can’t get my opponents to be no-shows from here on out. I want a free ride next week like your bud @Duckfan32 had!
