IllinoisLoyalty Bracket Challenge

wpr · Mar 15, 2022

I did a more whimsical bracket. It typically fares better than my real one.

OK, stop, just stop. Or I'm gonna pull out my really rad stuff. Remember, I was in Chicago in the
early 80's. Really rad then, but funny now.

Dude, no offense but that was NEVER radical…more like Gag me with a Spoon!

If possible, can you edit settings so I can change the bracket name. I really didn't mean to name it after me. Lol

Same here...seems to be a bracket/league setting as I was able to change my bracket entry name in other CBS pools....

Anyone else have Iowa beating Kentucky in the final? Oh, just me....

Right side of bracket is B10 heavy of those that could make a push. Left side has hardly any B10 teams that could win more than a game

I'm sure that was coincidental.

I'm in. My brackets don't have a lot of upsets this year for some reason. Just can't pull the trigger on any 5/12 upsets.

Nice.

Richmond and Indiana are pretty good 12 seed upset picks if you like efficiency metrics

My browser won't let me get on, it says it is too big.

My Final Four was Gonzaga, Purdue, Arizona and (Yuck) Auburn

Ferd · Mar 17, 2022

The Illini won both brackets. Auburn, Fichigan, and Indiana lost quickly in both. Otherwise they are way different. Gonzaga didn't do so well. When do I get my prize?

Signed up two brackets. Steve K.

Come on Michigan, don’t let me down. (I mean lose and lose hard….)

Jon · Mar 17, 2022

Welp I'm in first right now, so you can all dox me with my real name.
Unfortunately its my "worst case scenario" bracket winning

Piotyr · Mar 17, 2022

I picked Iowa to the championship game in one bracket, the only way to make sure they'd lose today.

blife · Mar 17, 2022

My bracket is woefully busted. lol Feel like Kramer in the episode - the contest. I'm out

Kentucky and Iowa losing in the first round torched my bracket, but somehow I am happy.

Illiniguy13 · Mar 19, 2022

I see our total bracket entries are listed in the app. Anybody know how many brackets there are in the national pool?

I have it on good authority that it’s also over 2,000,000

DMWSuperFan · Mar 20, 2022

Well. At least my UNC v ILL championship rematch is still alive. Might be past the 150 mark in the rankings, but the rematch from 2005 is still a possibility!
