Ahhhh, I feel like I was definitely in the "First Four Out" and maybe even the last bubble team not to get a bid!!! Oh well, the NIT is mine!

[flexmaster33]

Yes indeed bw...GWU was the last team out...oh so close. Good luck in the NIT

Awesome job flex.

Could you post the tourney scoring system, please?

[flexmaster33]

sure thing...it will be up shortly.

[flexmaster33]

Because of the expanded map system for the March Madness tourney, the scoring tables are adjusted slightly from the regular-season. The tournament scoring tables are now posted at the top of the tourney thread.

Nebraska is our first team to advance, as the top seed in the Midwest moves after handily taking care of Cornell 80-53.

All first-round matches have been sent, I've heard from a few people on vacation, but if you are around and haven't joined up yet, please do ASAP.

[flexmaster33]

I will put out an update in the morning, but Houston has moved into the 2nd round

[*Pixar*]

well I got blasted... Started 1 game usually ends up in a loss for your team

[flexmaster33]

brackets updated...I'm out of town until early next week, so next update will probably come Wednesday morning.

[flexmaster33]

Brackets updated...a set of 2nd round games have been sent...good luck as teams look for a spot into the Elite 8

[flexmaster33]

Hurray for me...first of the NIT teams to get to Madison Square Garden

[flexmaster33]

Youngstown State and Indiana are going down to the buzzer in the only first-round matchup that remains in question.

[flexmaster33]

First round in the NIT is complete after top-seeded Duquesne gets past Texas in overtime.

[flexmaster33]

Brackets updated...we have a couple #7 seeds pushing to advance.

[flexmaster33]

Three teams onto the Elite 8...Boston College, North Carolina and Oklahoma

[flexmaster33]

Sorry guys...updates coming hopefully tonight. Been busy with work with the Little League Softball World Series in town this week.

[flexmaster33]

Sorry guys...hoping to get back into this tonight now that work demands have quieted down.

[flexmaster33]

Brackets updated (I still need to get to the NIT)...new games going out in about an hour.

[flexmaster33]

The NIT is onto its semifinals at Madison Square Garden

Game 15905995

Tigers draw first blood ... very even match with blowouts in nearly every game. Could go either way.

Robes

[flexmaster33]

Brackets updated...fresh games going out today...

Congrats to North Carolina (dustin800), Oklahoma (Ratrin) and Boston College (Frank Martel) on making the Final Four with one spot still to fill.

[flexmaster33]

Funny....last year the power-ups proved key for our finalists...but this year two of the Final Four teams got through the bracket without a single power-up at their disposal.

[flexmaster33]

Hey all sports tournament fans...some of you have already found it, but I'm finishing up sign-ups for my NFL season tourney...

[flexmaster33]

Oklahoma has punched a ticket into the NCAA championship game...congrats to Ratrin.

In the NIT bracket...it's yours truly (Portland State) vs. Purdue in the finale.
I always seem to fare well in the NIT, If only I could crack the NCAA bracket some year.

Looks like IU is bowing out Thanks for the great tourney, flex. I hope I'll get a chance to play next year ... should be coming up soon, right?
