- What's his issue this time? - Will Hunting Mar 13, 16:36
PSA: I picked Kansas to win my first bracket which means they are now eliminated from that possibility. -- nm - Spawn Mar 13, 16:28 26

      - IMO they are way better than an 11 seed and have karma working for them -- nm - Strongbad Mar 13, 17:26 1

      - My god's honest guess is you're right, but even then, it's guessing on what coin flips to pick. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 16:34 2
        
        Bet on seniors, guards, defense, and offensive efficiency. -- nm - David Mar 13, 16:40 1
        
        *takes Hunting/David win/place bet off the board* -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 13, 16:41
