I am a member of two group brackets and came up with the same final four in each:

UNC
SDSU
Purdue
UF

With CrimsonRedSports I had SDSU and UF in the finals with UF winning, so I still have a shot at the winner, but SDSU certainly hurt my chances of gaining more points.

But, I had SDSU winning in my other bracket, so I guess my chances here are still much better than with the other.

Interesting, 49 points is also leading the group (small - 8 people) that I'm in.  Duke was my champion pick, so I'm screwed.  I really liked the result of the first two games last night; I had both Florida and UConn advancing to the E8. 

Duke, Louisville, and Purdue have done me in.

Louisville didnt hurt me, duke was champion and I had purdue in the elite 8.

I still have a chance to have 5 of the elite 8 and 3 of the final 4.  But as close as ours is, whoever picked the champion will probably win.

I need a scapegoat for why I picked so bad this year. I think I will blame TideSprotz. If they wouldn't have gone all communist/facist/socialist/linguist/sexist on me, then I wouldn't have lost my mojo and would have had Butler, VCU, KY, and UCONN in the Final Four. I TRULY believe this.  ???
