If there's enough interest I think it could be fun to make a Bucknell Message Board bracket group on ESPN. It would be for no money or anything, just for fun. Thoughts?

I'm in favor of a bracket. It would be lots of fun.

Group name: Bucknell Message Board
password: bucknell

Name your bracket whatever your name is on here so we will know who is who. Good luck!

Hard to root for a school that doesn't know the proper spelling of Bison.

Lipscomb hasn't had a Brad Tufts.

I just submitted the winning bracket!

Also, I invited about 20 other Bucknellians to sign up, but I have no idea if anybody will join us.

Forgive my technological ineptitude, but I cannot figure out how to get into the Bucknell board bracket challenge. If I go to the link above I am told my credentials are wrong. I am sble to set up my own personal bracket, but do not seem to be able to find my way to the Board bracket.

If you have you have your bracket filled out you should be able to click on group, then join/create group and the just search for the group.

I was thinking that this might be a good thread for general comments about the NCAA Tournament that do not have to do with Bucknell's game.

The SD State vs. Ohio State game has been lots of fun. Loyola Chicago was fun. Oklahoma did not deserve to be in the Dance.

The play by play guy in Wichita for the Seton Hall-NC State and Houston-SD State games is terrible. About as boring as one could be.

Watching Texas Tech, we are way better than them. That is the matchup the top 14 seed should’ve gotten. Oh well. At least our upset will be bigger!

It’s Brad Nessler. He does a great job for football. Not a big fan of the way he calls basketball.

Buffalo is pounding Arizona. 17 point lead. My bracket was 12-0 until now.

So, as you can imagine, my brackets went BOOM over the weekend. I am in a different pool called PhillyHoops, and after picking the first 12 games correctly on Thursday, I was tied for 1st out of 272 participants. Then, reality hit VERY hard. I am currently 214th! Anyway . . . it was fun while it lasted.

According to Kenpom.com, here are the rankings of the remaining 16 teams:

1. Nova
3. Duke
4. Purdue
7. Gonzaga
9. Kansas
10. Michigan
11. West Virginia
13. Texas Tech
14. Clemson
17. Kentucky
25. Texas Tech
30. Florida State
36. Loyola Chicago
39. Kansas State
44. Syracuse
52. Rhode Island

Other than Nova, who I want to win it all, and Syracuse, who I want to always lose since they are Syracuse, I am rooting for the underdogs in every single game.

In my obviously less than knowledgeable opinion, it looks like Nova, Kentucky, and Syracuse are peaking at the right time. Kentucky may have the easiest path to the Final Four, but thereafter, they run into lots of Big Boys. Personally, I hope that Kentucky gets upset by K State, Loyola Chicago, or Nevada.

It's going to be fun!
New season, new team, new dream . . .
