This should be an interesting year. I see a lot of potential upsets early on.

Michigan State losing really hurt me.

I'll never pick Syracuse again.

Ouch, glad I did not have money on that one. What an oddball playoff.

Out of all of the entries over the entire yahoo tourney, one person picked all four. From what I've heard, out of the 4+ million entires in ESPN's pick tourney, four people got them all.

I just think it's funny sometimes, you know someone was saying to them, " What are you, on Dope!"

Best tournament ever imo. Everyone left is an underdog for christs sake

I'm not sure I even understand what you're talking about. I have drunk enough booze to kill a small mule though, that could be my problem.

I'll just jump on the George Mason bandwagon right now, even though there's no chance of them winning it all.

Well I got the LSU reaching right but that was my only final four to make it. I just need LSU to win their next game and I win the league.

This has definitely been the most enjoyable tournament in my memory. I love how the big conferences were whining about letting the mid majors in and then they get their butts kicked by them. I love rooting for the underdogs and the games all around have been really good.

Stop here unless you are a numbers junkie like me:

I had some free time at work so I crunched some of the numbers from the tournament scores. According to my calculations, George Mason had the toughest road to the final four. Their bracket had the lowest margins of victories for its games. The stats below state average margin of victory, adjusted average(drop lowest and highest in first two rounds), and the final four teams average margin through its games. Florida definitely seemed to have the easiest time of it.
<table>
<tr><td>Team</td><td>Avg</td><td>AdjAvg</td><td>Team Avg</td></tr>
<tr><td>George Mason</td><td>7.47</td><td>7.27</td><td>6.25</td></tr>
<tr><td>LSU</td><td>9.67</td><td>9.45</td><td>8.75</td></tr>
<tr><td>UCLA</td><td>9.60</td><td>7.91</td><td>11.00</td></tr>
<tr><td>Florida</td><td>11.33</td><td>10.27</td><td>16.25</td></tr>
</table>

(I have way too much time on my hands)

That YTMND is a parody of a myspace kid's (fake)suicide note, complete with The Emo Song.

I've never been happier to have my bracket broken.
