I joined. I have no idea what I'm doing. Someone spell it out for me as if explaining gravity to a dog.

Haha.. it won't be that difficult. No picks can be made yet because the matchups (bracket) won't be decided until this Sunday, March 15th. Once that happens, I imagine there will be options to edit your bracket by choosing which teams you believe will advance to the Final Four, and ultimately the NCAA Championship. Actual play in the NCAA Tournament begins on Tuesday, March 17th... so your picks will need to be submitted before then.

It's been a loooong time since I've taken any interest in college hoops. 32 years ago Jim Valvano's Wolfpack defeated my favorite team, the Houston Cougars in the Championship game on national television with that miracle shot-pass at the buzzer. I was 8 at the time and cried after the game. Clyde "Slama-Jama" Drexler, Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon and Larry Micheaux. There's a REALLY good ESPN "30 for 30" documentary on that season from N.C. State's perspective below. Still, it will be fun to pick 'em once the brackets come out, although I don't know anything about the teams anymore.
