MegaManFan Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 This one is ridiculously simple. Pick the two teams that will be in the final when it's all said and done. For a tiebreaker, list your guess of scores for the two teams in the final. What does the winner get? Any 2600 cart from my trade page they want. One guess per customer, please. One additional stipulation - guessing is closed once the complete "sweet 16" is in place. Otherwise I suspect it will be too easy to handicap the final 4 and/or have 20 people pick the same two finalists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbid Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 blech i cant stand kentucky, i grew up in cincinnati, and there are more UK fans than University of Cincinnati fans there, its quite sickening. But UC got eliminated today, so between that and the war, the tourney doesnt seem as great this year.. ill make my picks tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Suree why not umm... Arizona over Kentucky ahh... 93-87? Does that work?lol Actually, this doesn't work because the schedulers decided to pit the 2 best teams in the semi-finals and not in the final game . So Arizona and Kentucky can't play each other in the final game because if they make the final four they have to play each other first.

oesii Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 That works. Interesting to see everybody favors Kentucky this year. Check out these numbers, over 50% of tourney pickers picked Kentucky to win it all. I guess winning 20+ games in a row does that http://games.espn.go.com/content/tcmen/200...?page=breakdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingtown Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Just for kicks I'll say Kentucky over Wake Forest 73-68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 Just so everybody knows, I did grant an exemption to "re-guess" to the person who picked an impossible final two (even I wasn't thinking about it when I said it was okay) although in the event of a tie or close call the un-edited entry with the same teams would get ranked higher.

We would rip on each other's teams all the time. I'm not fond of UK either, but I think they're the best this year. UC had a forgettable year.

MegaManFan Posted April 7, 2003 Author Share Posted April 7, 2003 Syracuse vs. Kansas Amusing. Well since it looks like it would be impossible to pick a winner based on the original guesses, I'm offering a "second chance contest" to still award a prize from this contest. To win the second, you must do the following: (1.) Correctly pick the winner of Syracuse vs. Kansas and (2.) Have the highest combined total score of both teams without going over the actual total. Whoever gets #1 right and comes the closest on #2 wins. In the event of a tie between contestants, I will post an as yet unrevealed tiebreaker to determine the winner.
