March Maddness 2009 anyone? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Are there any NCAA basketball tournament fans out there? I love college basketball - women's and men's.

Have been watching Syracuse men pound through the Big East tournament (one game went into 6 OT's - exhausting just to watch).

I don't even have a favorite team this year - would love to see Cal men get in and win a few (they have good games, they have bad games)..

Will be amazing if anyone can beat Conn women this year - they appear unstopable..

Any of you SR-ers fans of this stuff?

big ILLINI fan here. Grit my teeth every time they play though.

I root for anyone playing against Kansas

Pittsburgh all the way

I love watching Pittsburg play - hard and gritty and skillful team communication..

TryingSoHard · 03-14-2009, 03:22 PM

Count me in!

Go Tigers!!

TryingSoHard · 03-14-2009, 03:23 PM

I'm also a huge Mississippi State fan but we're not doing much this year. But we did beat LSU today in the SEC semifinals! Go Dawgs!

CAPTAINZING2000 · 03-16-2009, 06:30 AM

I'd hate for ILL. to play the tigers again this year. I'm afraid, we wouldn't blow them out a second time

KindBird · 03-16-2009, 10:03 AM

OK - I have had my day as an Arizona fan but how did they get in this year - just does not seem fair.

Do any of you follow the women as well as the men? Any thoughts on whether anyone can go up against the UConn women? (I don't think so!)..

Hope Stanford gets a #1 in the women's selection today.. hard fighting team.

Haha big ILLINI fan here also. But I used to be a Kansas fan when I was a teenager too.

Penn State got robbed this year.

Something seems wrong when, a team with a losing record can with their conference tournement and get a bid

CAPTAINZING2000 · 03-19-2009, 10:10 AM

Anyone in a pool?

Anyone got a favorite to win the tourney?

KindBird · 03-19-2009, 08:38 PM

Not in any pools.. I like Pitt and Syracuse but who knows!

Sad to see Cal go down in the first round but Maryland won that game - shot good and defended well..

TryingSoHard · 03-19-2009, 09:48 PM

I'm not in any pools but just because I don't know anyone who started any. :P

I'm not doing too badly so far. Last time I checked I was 8 for 10 for the day.

I knew my Bulldogs would lose, but I expected a much stronger first-round game from Memphis. That was scary for a bit. We better shape up!

TryingSoHard · 03-19-2009, 09:49 PM

I've got Memphis, Kansas, Pitt, and UNC in the final four with UNC beating Memphis to win the whole thing. I'd love to see the Tigers win it all but I just don't see it realistically happening.

meggymegos · 03-20-2009, 08:27 AM

TryingSohard...you're so wrong!

I've got Duke beating out UNC and Mephis beating out Louisville in the Final 4, and then Duke beating Memphis to take home the championship! Yeah!!! Go BLUE DEVILS!

TryingSoHard · 03-20-2009, 11:27 AM

WOW - ok, let's see!!

**cece1960** · 03-21-2009, 11:23 AM

I'm in a pool, and am counting on the phase "ignorance is bliss"

I'm hanging on although Wake Forest crushed me.
I look at the left and right side, pick a few upsets, and guess from there. I'm sitting at about fifth out of 35.
And I know NOTHING about college basketball

SonofaMess · 03-21-2009, 07:18 PM

Anybody get a chance to watch the Ohio st and Flor st games? That was some good action.

KindBird · 03-22-2009, 06:28 PM

Anyone also watching the women's tournament - good B-ball there too.

OK - so Arizona is in the 16 - would have never guessed.. West coast not doing so well - poor Wash, Az State, USC.. but Gonzaga really pulled one off (buzzer mania)..

Sonofamess - I know I saw part of all the games but my mind is a blur and neither of these teams are on my radar screen - will check it out..
