    DBR Bracketology 2012!!

    Hey everyone,

    Thanks to juise for reminding me to restart the DBR bracket challenge, but this year's group is renewed and active on Yahoo! Those of you who participated last year automatically will receive an email asking if you want to rejoin. For everyone else who wants to join, here are the details:

    Group Name: Duke Basketball Report
    Group ID: 186520
    Password: duke

    Please try to include your DBR handle in your team name, if at all possible. It makes it easier to track who is doing well with it. One bracket per person, so make it your best one...winner receives ultimate bragging rights. And if you don't have Duke winning it all, you're ejected! J/K

    Best of luck to everyone! And, LET'S GO DUKE!
    Check out the Duke Basketball Roundup!

    Sort of on topic. Has anyone seen a tourney schedule by starting time? Would be helpful.

    OK, partial answer. NCAA Tournament 2012 Scheduler has games through Thursday, but organized by network, rather than time. Close enough.

    this is prolly TMI, but i've been doing brackets for a LOOOOONNNNNGGGG time....cause i'm old like that...

    they were always very frustrating, if duke didn't win, i was disappointed ....and then Tubby always messed up my bracket...


    I quit doing a bracket for the 2010 tourny and that worked out a lot better....i don't watch the Tar Heels and i don't fill out brackets and my life is a lot better...

    I finished in the 99.9% of Yahoo brackets and won my office contest in 2010 because I picked Duke. I don't play for money, which makes it easier to pick Duke every year.

    I'm all in!

    I never do bracket pools for money for this reason! I can NEVER pick against us, and I never will! It allows me to root without conflict.

    Hello
    This is the first time I have ever done a bracket in my life.
    I am from the UK and moved here ten years ago. I didn't get into basketball until my daughter got into duke a couple of years ago. Now we are crazy about it. Duke won the national championship in 2010 in her freshmen year.
    Anyway I am looking forward to this!
    Regards
    Martin.

    Brackets are like hard drugs. You fill one out thinking it will do great, then you're left with 7/16 sweet 16 teams and 1 of your final four teams left...and you think "why do i do this to myself"....but then, the next year...they come calling "uh_no...you neeeeeeed me" so you relapse and fill out the bracket again.

    It's always a miserable day when your last team goes out and you realize that despite the fact that its only the elite 8, you can't possibly score any more points.

    I actually reduced my upset picks a little this year, but still expect my bracket to implode like normal. I did not go chalk, but I did not get too radical with the upsets other than in a couple of spots. I did pick Belmont to take down the Hoyas. Low percentage pick, but they certainly could do it.

    He's picked UNC, Kansas, Kansas, and UNC in 4 years....really rooting for the underdogs...Don't think he's had lower than a 2 in his final 4 in 4 years.

    I'd love to see a Wichita State/Michigan championship game; with Wichita state winning. That way they can sell t-shirts saying, "Shockers shocked the world." Or something along those lines.

    If anyone cannot get enough brackets, you can enter mine where the winner gets a year BDN Membership - http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-...groupID=169551 But of course, enter the DBR one first and good luck to all.

    Props to uh_no for correctly picking the Final 4. I thought I was doing pretty well having picked 3 out of 4 and I'm only in 12th. We've got some sharp basketball minds on this board... who woulda thought?
