Let's Go!
I can't wait to see how you guys handle the tiebreaker issue. Do you go big and hope for an NC State upset? or just ride it out and hope you can outlast PJ? This is going to be compelling.
reply
I think outlast is the only way. Gonna start being tough, non obvious picks. My strategy was simply to outlast from the start and hope to be the last remaining.

Probably your best bet.

i will stick my head in the sand and pretend the tiebreaker doesn’t exist 😅
reply
I think that's the best strategy. Just try to outlast him. The lead is too large with the seeds remaining. Your only hope would be to bet it all on NC State.

Being chased is a terrible feeling.
reply
Being the frontrunner is a nice view but it also means everyone behind you has you in their sights

Welp, picking the PAC-12 proved to be a poor decision.
reply
Ultimately it was the low seed that did you in. Brutal.

Can’t spot a team 10 points out the gate.
Whoever has UConn left should be feeling pretty good.
reply
Both remaining have UConn I think. But this could be over if only one of Duke or Marquette loses haha
Or even better, both lose...would that mean you win because of tie breaker rules!!!
reply
tough one

Don't forget to zap the pot, jabronis. Raise those stakes!
reply
I for one, even after death, am living vicariously through our remaining stackers. I am so pumped to zap someone hopefully 50k or more sats at the end of this.

I’ll take Arizona.

As they say, go big or go home.
Duke is my pick.
reply
I like it. Houston didn't look great against Texas A&M. You pick up some points in the tiebreaker and keep 1 and 2 seeds open for later rounds if you make it. Solid.
reply
Thanks -- that's pretty much my thought process here.

Marquette is my pick this round.
