Here is a link to it: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1204

I'm not a host of this group, just offering some friendly advice.

There is such a drop-off from the top teams then to the next tier and then to everyone else that upsets in the women's game prior to the Elite 8 are virtually non-existent.

1 of my elite 8 eliminated already and all of my final 4 still alive. I wasn't bullish on Duke or Mizzou and think Syracuse has seen their last tournament win as well.

we're here to tell you that you're supposed to fill it in before the games are played and not on Friday night!

I went 20-12 in the first (or second, whatever the hell it is now) round, but 13 of my Sweet 16, 7 of my Elite 8, and my Final Four is still intact. I'll take it.

My Sweet Sixteen is 5 definite outs, but my Elite Eight and Final Four still stand. Oddly, I picked 3 seeds to beat 2 seeds in the Elite 8 for most of them, so the ridiculous upsets of two 2 seed teams (it hasn't happened since 2001) didn't break my brackets. Of course, I need for Marquette to pull through against Murray State like, right now...

Among a few obvious choices that my cat could have made. So I'm doing better than my husband. Still, I expect that won't last much longer.
