Do you have any bracket traditions?

Curse of Adam Morrison. I keep forgetting he graduated and cut his hair.


I fill out one, sometimes two. Last year, I did three but I don't think I'm gonna do that again...

+1.

I don't put a ton of research into my picks. I just go with my "gut" feelings based on what I've seen this year.

This is me. I always put Gonzaga in the Sweet 16.

They never seem to make it. I always predict it.

This year I filled out two. One on yahoo, one on ESPN. The reason being I forgot what I put on the Yahoo bracket, and was too lazy to check it again. So I just filled it out to what I thought I picked.

I picked them to make the Final Four in '09 and it did a nice job of killing my bracket.

This x1000. Make your picks and stick with 'em. I don't want to hear about how you picked an upset in two of your 14 brackets.

One thing I used to do is sim the tournament in College Hoops 2K8 and submit the bracket. It usually got ugly pretty fast.

I used to do this also, first with the Xbox version and then with the 360 version. I would play every tourney game in CPU vs. CPU mode starting Sunday night and have the tournament done by Thursday morning. Then I would fill out my bracket.

I never will forget the year that Florida won the championship in real life and the Xbox had them lose their first round game.

I can't do it anymore since my 360 broke earlier this year and I sold all of my stuff to get a PS3.

I'm a bracket whore and proud of it. Gotta hedge those bets! Then I just root for good games and if I win something, that's gravy.

I'll probably fill out about 7 - some for money pools, some for fun. They end up being mostly similar but with different FF/Champ combos.

i think last year or two years ago i actually didn't fill out any brackets. reason being that i typically just pull for the underdogs or big 10 teams, and sometimes i'd be rooting for teams that i picked to lose. but yeah i just fill one out, and i just pick with my gut.

i'd be interested to see if people who pick with research fare better than those who pick with their gut
