Group: Gangster BB

You can create up to 10 brackets, but only one counts for GBB-standings purposes -- please mark your BB entries with an asterisk (*) or numeral one (1) if you have more than one entry in the group. Entries will lock.

One hour following the announcement of the tournament match-ups on Sunday, March 11th, 2012 (March 12 for Womens), you will have the opportunity to select who you think will win each of the 63 tournament games. Entrants may change their selections as often as they like prior to the scheduled tipoff-time of the Tournament (currently scheduled for the morning of Thursday, March 15, 2012; March 17 for Womens) after which all selections must be finalized.


2011 Results:

(Men) MC, DM, JL, LN, IM, KL, LI, BM, JG
(Women) IM, JG, JL, KL

Defending Champ will be in. If I remember correctly, I think I won with the Final Four with only one team alive. Everyone else crapped out; of course no one had UConn going too far or Virginia Commonwealth making it to the Final Four.

With my huge knowledge of US College basketball coming to the fore in this game i will surely be unstoppable......

ill join, let's go duke...or somebody else!

Forget trying to do this at lunch time. Everyone must be on. It's super slow.

Done, but seriously no clue about college basketball so its the old wing and a prayer time again.....

Hoping against hope for Louisville to make some noise.

I have not watched a single game this season. I am an expert who cannot be defeated.

is that the same hope you had in your knicks?

*whew* Can check these brackets off my to-do list.

I've picked some far out brackets before, but this has to be my most far out. I might be out with Yogi somewhere in the North Atlantic.

PS. Go Iona Gaels, my alma mater! Anyone else an alumnus of one of the competitors?

Er...no

If you count the Lady Knights, yeah... not sure how they did this year, but they're in it!

We made history. Largest comeback score in NCAA history. What a collapse. Go back to New Rochelle.

Freakin' #2 Missouri beaten by #15 Norfolk St...

lol i had missouri get upset by murry state. but, yea now duke is getting beat...but, i have kentucky to make it to the final four.

Beilein's three point/street ball/no center style came back to kick us in the a$$. Unfortunately, the powers that be don't care too much about the b-ball program compared to football so he's gonna be around for a while. But I didn't have them going too much further anyway so it's not that bad for bracket.

A player from Norfolk St said, "We messed up my bracket."

Is this like parity in the NFL?

I just checked the Gangster BB and I wasn't there. I guess I never joined (duh!). I guess you'll just have to take my word that my bracket sucks.

You may still be able to get into the group: "Entries may leave/join group only before the second round begins"

OMG, Duke, too...

They don't call Iona students Idiots On North Avenue for nothing .

It said "LOCKED". You'll just have to accept my write in....after all, I am the defending champion....who will likely finish last; even behind Yogi.

I have 200 pt, tied for last with Yogi and someone called a Scarlet Knight. I looked at his bracket , I might not be last. BTW, I picked Michigan State to win.....no one else did. I could pull this out.

Yes, but I OwN A college, what do you own?

Just kidding, MC. Geez .

I went to Fordham, which was as boring could be (even in the late 70s when the rest of the world was enjoying the sexual revolution ).

We used to go up to the Iona bars every Thursday night to get drunk and hit on girls, then we'd end the night at the Thruway Diner. Some of the best nights of my young adult life were spent near that campus.

15-1 in Women's... damn Rutgers!

About a month ago I posted about a hometown boy, who made the #1 Play of the Day for ESPN with a board shattering dunk in a high school game. His sister, Alyssa Thomas, is a sophomore at Maryland, a 2 seed, and was named the ACC Player of the Year, the youngest woman ever to win that honor. I'm hoping she leads the Terps a long way in the tourney.

FEAR THE TURTLE

I don't care for Rick Petino as a person. He's kind of slimy and vile. But he knows how to come up big in these tournaments. In consecutive games he's knocked out Izzo and Cunningham, two coaches who also know how to run deep in the tornaments.
