You buy the package conceivably to avoid having to be at the mercy of CBS. They have dedicated feeds, but they seemingly intentionally mess it up. I think $50 should give you the right to control what you see.

i went with temple as well, disappointed that they played so poorly, really didnt even make it a game. Im not a big fan of any of the Big 10 teams this year, so I dont see MSU going that far, which is a big reason why i chose Temple to upset them, its not going to kill my brackets having Temple lose...

The most played matchup in tournament history is Kentucky-Marquette. I wouldn't have guessed that.
And I'm 3-3 after the first set of games.

Anaheim, which is stupid. Put it in Sacramento or a city where people dont' have as many entertainment options. Fans simple won't travel that much for a 1st weekend game.

What is you guys biggest upset for today?
I have Winthrop over Washington State. It was Just a Random pick.

I just don't see this bracket as much of an upset machine. The committee set it up for the mid majors to fail.

Maybe not that big but I have Baylor over Purdue and Mason over the Irish, but then again I also had Georgia over Xavier.

I'm pumped for tomorrow. Right now I'm jealous of all who are watching these games. Took off tomorrow just to watch them all.

I have the same as well as Georgia over Xavier. The latter didn't work out too well so there's still hope I suppose. Then again I also picked Sienea over Vandy just for the hell of it.

My big upset is in the next round, when an 8-9 seed beats a #1 seed. Statistically that happens much less frequently than 13 over 4 or 14 over 3. I think Kent State/UNLV over Kansas is the most likely option, but I could see Miss State beating Memphis or Texas A&M over UCLA.

It isn't a hugely surprising type bracket. Last year, there were huge opportunities. This year, they shut it down.

I have Purdue, Clemson, and Pittsburgh in the Elite Eight so I guess you could qualify those as upsets.

Very ballsy to pick 2 #1's to lose, but it's not out of the question at all.
