ESPN Tournament Challenge - MGoBlog Group

It's getting close to that time of the year again, the NCAA Tournament! ESPN has opened up the Tournament Challenge 2013. Obviously we can't make our picks yet, but you can get registered early. I have created a group for the MGoBlog community to join. Please use your names that are in use here on the blog so we know who the competition is. Only one entry per person. And once the first game of the tournament has started, the group will be locked.

 

I know that this past week has been tough for all of us, but I'm still optimistic about our chances this year for a deep tourny run. Also playing teams outside the B1G will be a breath of fresh air.

 

Group Name - MGoBlog Community

Password - WeOn!

edit: Some people have been getting a message about the group being full or something like that. That message is referring to only allowing one entry per person. There are unlimited spots in this group.

Put this up again closer to selection Sunday, partly to remind me to set my picks, but also to get others in there who don't see this.

I wonder though how many here will put M as the champs. also how many will have them out early. I haven't decided yet on how far I'm going to put them, it all depends on the matchups I suppose. It also depends on how they do the next two weeks.

I am in as well. I need some redemption for finishing just above the 1985 Cleveland Indians in the final standings in last year's challenge. I think it was 91st precentile - that alone was worth two extra beers, as I recall. So much for being clever.

I'm signed in but it automatically uses another name that I have used with ESPN fantasy sports.  Can't change it.  (anyone know how?).  But for the record so I can claim my championship later, I'm Wholesale Kimchi.

It always shows your ESPN Fantasy screen name, but you can change the name of your bracket. There is an option to 'edit entry info' for each bracket you create.

And if the person who wins, wins while picking a team other than Michigan as national champions, their prize should be a slap in the face from a rather large individual.

The heart breaker against Wisconsin and the State beat down took its toll.  The 3's don't fall when you're not confident.

They need to play a little looser.  This team is not the inside banging, fight it out, run you over in the paint group.  They need to drop 10 to 15 3's and play with a lead. 

Just my opinion.

Beat State and get some pay-back!

Go Blue!
