OK, Laura and Sue may be bad, nuts but know how to find out that there are 4,118 "pebbles, Spalding balls or as they know bumps" on an official basket ball.

Walt, was there a discussion on golf balls somewhere in the forum? Are not Golf Balls "introverted" and and Basket balls Extroverted in bumps? So how many "introverted" holes on a golf ball? VT GolfShaft do you know? Golf often takes indulges in more drinking so the dimple number is more vague!

Syracuse has my bets to win Carmen. Do I win week with you for 24/7 multiple pleasures? LOL

Today didn't change much in either the short or long term. Baylor's victory does regive me a slight lead and Walt and Dan should be tied.

Walt right now you need to find your Orange because you have to have Syracuse win tomorrow to stay alive. Then Baylor has to defeat Kentucky on Sunday as well.

If both of those results do happen then I would be eliminated and Kansas vs UNC would be the deciding game (ironically it's the last game on Sunday). In this scenario a UNC win would seal things for Walt and a Kansas win would I believe end everything in a tie between Dan and Walt.

If either Syracuse or Ohio St win then the UNC and Kansas game could seal things for Dan or really make things interesting going in to the Final Four.

Assuming all of my math is correct based on the standard 192 pt scoring system it is down to me or Dan. Dan can win 3 ways.

#1 Kansas defeats UNC
#2 Ohio St defeats UNC
#3 Kentucky defeats UNC

In other words, it's time for me to find my baby blue and root for the Heels and the hometown boy Tyler Zeller.

I win if UNC reaches the Final game and either wins or loses to either Baylor or Louisville.

Rats. I'm OUT!

I'd swear that I heard Carmen say that, if I won, that I would "get lucky." Crap! Another lost dream. :walt: :lmao:

Well done to the winner(s).

Lucky picks didn't work at all, I should have went the opposite way and picked the teams that stood out for me, as losers instead of winners.

There's proof that you need knowledge or a tactical plan to win. Luck gets you nowhere most of the time.

Wha shew talkin' 'bout, Willis??

That's me, Cowboy. I don't follow basketball, so I don't really know the teams, either college or pro, except for what I hear on the news and read in the paper. So my pics were generally derived from general knowledge of news reports as opposed to any specific team info or knowledge. I had also joined the NBC bracket, and by the start of the 3rd round, I was 18,637th. :lmao: Of course, I don't know how many total there were, but let's just say the leader was in no grave danger of me taking his spot.

18,637th that's not very good, but better than 18,638th.

At least I finished in the top 10 of carmens contest. There was less than 10 entrants. right?

3 of us had Kentucky winning. Do we split the prize 3 ways or is the winner the one who had the most right in the Final Four?

What is wrong with these sports NUTS? :wtf:

Young and we thought lots of sex, but maybe not?

LEXINGTON, KY. (AP)
Authorities reported that one man was wounded by gunfire early Tuesday in Lexington, numerous small fires were set and dozens were arrested as thousands of people celebrated Kentucky's win over Kansas to claim another NCAA title.
