The Stinque Braquet 2021

We’ve all already won with Duke not in this dance.

Done

Against my better judgement.

A lot of chalk in the Stinque Braquet this year.

Everyone is on Gonzaga except David (who has Baylor) and Faith (who is the only one to pick a National Champion that is not a #1 seed, picking #2 seed Houston).

I just thought I should point out that the very first game of the bracket has been completed, with Florida defeating Virginia Tech in OT, and with one game in the books – I am already a loser.

At least I have good company with MellBell and Lefty, all taking our first trip to the basement of shame.

@Discordian: Might need all 280 characters if this keeps up.

this is just a feeling, but I’m beginning to think the Big 10 conference is not as good as some of us were led to believe.

@Discordian: Well, between Ohio State and Purdue going tits up in the first round, my bracket is busted.

I strangely (and correctly) picked Oregon State to pull off an upset given the usual underestimating of the Pac-12.

The Ducks winning by forfeit delights this Eugene native, double-grad, and former alumni lackey.

I don’t know whether Loyola is the best coached team in the tournament or if Illinois is the worst. Regardless, here we go again.

Well! That was weird. Haven’t had a database crash in, like, forever.

@nojo: Doesn’t help when Some Geek neglects to update the database-reboot script.

@nojo: I suspect the AI running your database had Illinois and Ohio State in it’s Final Four.
