Sorry guys, I've been fighting a bug and had every intention of filling out a bracket yesterday morning however I didn't get out of bed until 1pm yesterday.

I picked some upsets, High Point over Wisc, Texas over BYU and aggy over St Mary's. I did not pick UNC losing to VCU however.

I have Duke beating Arizona in the championship game with Houston and Iowa St as my other Final Four teams.

Good luck to those who entered!
