Just for fun every year I do the ESPN Tournament Challenge. I have some friends that said they would be interesting in getting a room together so I set up a Shift518 room for anyone else on here that would want to give it a try. Get in on the excitement of this year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Compete against other fans as you fill out a bracket and earn points for every correct pick! Come out on top and you could win $10,000. Get a group together and earn plenty of bragging rights amongst your friends by winning it all. Best of all, it’s free to play and win. Get in the action now: [http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/group?groupID=26591](http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/group?groupID=26591) Group: Shift518 Password: shift ---

im psyched, other than football season this is my favorite part of the year as far as sports go. I got my brackets printed out, im ready to watch basketball all day every day for the next couple weeks. This is the one time of the year that working nights has its advantage! I love watching these games. Good luck on your brackets everyone ---

Thanks man, yeah I feel pretty confident in my 1st round picks. I knew Western Kentucky was going to be strong against Illinois and I think that’s one that a lot of people didn’t pick as an upset. There’s 2 games today I think may go against what I picked. Tennessee vs. Oklahoma St. and Marquette vs. Utah St. I think both are going to be tight games, but even though I picked Oklahoma St. I think Tennessee is going to come out on top for the 9 over 8 upset. ---

sometimes picking blind is the best way to go:) i went all chalk this year, just like last year, and it prevailed. not enough quality teams IMO to pick huge upsets teh past few seasons. all the great players are going right to the nba
