    Winner gets a week of colors.

    This is the same group we've been using for the last couple of tourneys. To sign up, do both of:

    • Create a bracket on ESPN.com and join the group "JCC Arena" (Group ID is 779503) with password "arena" - This direct link should work
    • Post your bracket info here (name of bracket and your JCC Username)
    ESPN will do the rest, but I'll continue to update as we go along.
    Copy/past to sign-up, and add more spots as needed.

    As I recall, the group is unlimited so there's no cut off for signups.

    I have no horse in this race since my team sucked this year (WVU), but I always find watching a lot more fun when I've made a bracket. So my terrible, probably going to be busted in the first round bracket has been made.

    I somehow won this bracket challenge last year, so I'll play again! But this year I'd rather win my office park bracket with a visa gift card prize and let someone else get the colors.

    I'm so tempted to pick Gardner-Webb over Virginia.

    VCU-UCF looks like a great 8/9 match up.

    My biggest upset prediction would be (11) St Mary's over (6) Villanova, or (12) Murray St over (5) Marquette.

    Not actually doing a bracket, though. Haven't done one in years.

    @heels1785 I have Wofford going to the Elite Eight in my bracket so tell them not to mess this up.

    (Ironically against your 'heels)

    Won't let you down, Pointy. Unfortunately, I wouldn't live to see that scenario, bc if Wofford beats UK in the 2nd round, I'll probably explode.

    Also, I joined. I should be easy enough to spot.

    I haven’t paid much attention to Bilas, but Matt Norlander and I are fairly close in our picks. The biggest difference is that he picked St Mary’s over Villanova.

    I've made my picks watching about 20 minutes of college basketball this year. Here goes nothing. :p

    That's 20 minutes more than I've watched. I heard the end of the Tennessee game on the radio Saturday while driving my son from baseball practice to Chick-fil-A. And subsequently chose Tennessee to win it all.

    I named my bracket “Zion’s Shoes” because I’m certain it will bust quickly.
