Are we making a tournament bracket for the boards this year like we did last year? Forgot who won the bracket, but I remember losing due to Villanova's last second win over UNC.

On another note, interesting matchup for UNCW against UVA. Will be a fun one to watch for CAA (and Virginia) fans. Go Hawks!

Is anybody able to make a bracket for the boards?

I am reprising my duty as group creator and have made a new group in ESPN. Here are the instructions to join:

- Click on the following link,: http://games.espn.com/tournament-challen...n/bracket.
- Click “Create a Bracket Now”, which will prompt you to log in. If you do not have an ESPN account, click on “Sign Up” at the bottom of the login page and create an account
- Search for the W&M CSNbbs Challenge 2017 group
- The password to join our group is tribepride
- BE SURE TO COMPLETE YOUR ENTRY BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT BEGINS AT 12:00 NOON THIS COMING THURSDAY, MARCH 16.

We had 31 total entrants last year, with LeadBolt as our winner. Let's try to get a bigger turnout!

Let me know if anyone has issues joining.

Don't forget to fill out your brackets! We've got 11 entered so far - would like to at least match the 31 participants we had last year. Make sure to use your CSN handle so it's easy to identify everyone for congratulations/smack talk.

I had trouble with this link -- here's an updated / possibly corrected one. http://games.espn.com/tournament-challen...t/2017/en/

Just you and me

First weekend is in the books - here's your current top 5:

1. KPS - Seahawk Nation 08 - 480 points - Yes, we got beat by UNCW in real basketball and are losing to the lone UNCW entrant in the MM brackets at well. SN08 picked Kentucky, so there's a chance this could be a runaway.
T2. espn64058405 - 470 points - My sources tell me this is either head coach Tony Shaver or President Taylor Reveley. Picked Duke though, so most likely toast.
T2. Nogretheogre1 - 470 points - Chose Villanova, so could be falling hard. Still prefer nogretheogre's handle from last year - FeatherDuster&FrenchMaids. Will always be a classic in my book.
T4. Zablenoise - 460 points - Picked Kansas and is using the handle 'Where's the CBI Bracket?' - this could be our dark horse.
T4. Tribeheart - 460 points - Another person screwed by Duke.

I'm down a bit, but if Oregon shocks the world I'm still in it

while I was in last place after round 1, after round 2 I have the most possible points left on the board, and the comeback has already begun.

you will all be playing for second place

It's getting interesting...

looks like I have no more points to get... hahaha

So, it's down to Monday night.

I know a Carolina win would give me the victory this year, but I'll be rooting for our mid-major brethren. Go Zags!

That's fine to cheer for Gonzaga, but let's be honest, they haven't been a mid major in a decade.
Gonzaga being mid major is a lot like networks trying to sell South Carolina, an SEC power 5 team, as a Cinderella. I'm not buying it.

Hey, just for the record, the only difference between OneTribe and me is:

1. That Kentucky failed to play any defense during the last 6 seconds of their quarterfinal game against Carolina, allowing the Heels to sink an easy jumper with 0 seconds left. I know that one of the entrants who picked Kentucky was probably pretty steamed about that

and

2. That apparently nobody ever taught Oregon on how to block out at the free throw line. UNC missed 4 (!!!!) free throws in the last six seconds and yet Oregon was too incompetent to take advantage. So, for the second time, OneTribe gained points for UNC that, if the game gods were just, he would not have had.

That's my whine for the day. Go Zags !!

My problems all started when UNCW didn't beat UVA... It's all been downhill since then.
