NCAA bracket - I'm not a loser, but I'm not a winner either

Not that it's anything new to you all, but I'm just terrible at making picks. And that didn't change when I filled out my bracket for the NCAA Tournament.

Actual: UConn, 103-47 Yay me!


Washington vs. Mississippi State
My pick: Washington
Actual: Washington, 71-58 I rule!


Northern Iowa vs. Purdue
My pick: Purdue
Actual: Purdue, 61-56 How am I so awesome?


Maryland vs. California
My pick: Cal (reluctantly)
Actual: Maryland, 84-71 I'm terrible.


CSU Northridge vs. Memphis
My pick: Memphis (no brainer)
Actual: Memphis, 81-70 Back to being right.


Texas A&M vs. BYU
My pick: Texas A&M
Actual: Texas A&M, 79-66 Two years in a row!

Actual: Oklahoma Who's surprised?


Western Kentucky vs. Illinois
My pick: Illinois
Actual: Western Kentucky, 76-72 Holy smokes. Cinderella team? I like it.


Michigan vs. Clemson

Actual: LSU, 75-71 No good.


Radford vs. North Carolina
My pick: Radford - just kidding - UNC
Actual: North Carolina, 101-58 Winner, winner. Chicken dinner.


Binghampton vs. Duke
My pick: Duke (I picked the Blue Devils to play in the title game as well.)

VCU vs. UCLA
My pick: UCLA
Actual: UCLA, 65-54 It was a good one.


Minnesota vs. Texas

American vs. Villanova
My pick: American (These colors don't run.)
Actual: Villanova, 80-67 Darn it.


HOW DID YOUR BRACKETS DO AFTER ONE DAY? I finished 10-6.


LOSE ANY MONEY? I won't laugh at you if you did.
