House of Mac Madness

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

SCOTT WINS!!! His ploy to have his daughter create a loosely basketball-based gambling pool so he could someday win $247 has finally paid off.

Thanks for playing, kids. A disappointing Twitter showing to be sure, but an excellent year for ball.

[House of Mac Madness @MacMadnessNews]

9 players are safe. 4 hopefuls remain:
• steve (creighton, +1) is minutes away from an outright win
• carl (fdu, +15.5) is positioned to steal
• jay & alicia are closing out the round & weekend with a dance-for-their-lives guaranteed boot (jay/zags favored by 4).

THEY DON'T CALL HER CLEAN SWEEP KELLY!!!!!!

BUT THEY SHOULD!!

it looked like it'd be an upset by drake. then it looked like it'd be a buzzer-beater for the 2-point spread. then neither of those things happened.

honestly? we're so proud.

🗞️GRIFTER KEEPS ON GRIFTING: grand canyon was merely a pawn (a free one) (one he did absolutely nothing to deserve) in jay's plan to STEALLLL gonzaga, after three losses with his three original teams that would've otherwise eliminated him from the pool.

[House of Mac Madness @MacMadnessNews]

game alert: 16-seed fairleigh dickinson up one at the half!! purdue (mack) was favored by *23*, but carl's down to one team and he's not gonna take those odds lying down.

[House of Mac Madness @MacMadnessNews]

what we're watching: uconn (scott) - 9 - iona (kevin), currently hovering around a tie with a few minutes left in the first half

kevin is on track for a 4-team sweep, with two steals and an upset so far. who invited this guy.

@bizzlebill after our interns mistakenly announced that bill had booted kristen in the last game of the day yesterday, he became our first loser in the first game of the day today. 🥴 sorry bill.

[House of Mac Madness @MacMadnessNews]

what we're watching: Kristen, the victim of today's only STEAL, is facing elimination in the Tex A&M – Penn State matchup. @bizzlebill needs A&M to outscore PSU by 4+.

celebrating one decade of periods of neglect dotted with nonsense spam 💕🏀

[House of Mac Madness @MacMadnessNews]

@bizzlebill I also missed that Noah was up for elimination, but he won 2 so it's boring anyway.

[House of Mac Madness @MacMadnessNews]

@bizzlebill the other potential day 1 victims have officially survived:
• Greg was the thief in the aforementioned STEAL, with his other 2 games on now
• Jan is putting all her money on the Jansas sequel, after a disappointing loss in the finals last year. it's all she has left.

🚨 AVAILABLE TEAM 🚨

Eric has bravely forfeited a team again (this time due to "moral opposition to Jerry Colangelo"), opening the door for another player to start the tournament with 4 teams.

First to reply here or by email adds Grand Canyon to their roster!

like, blue as in sad

[House of Mac Madness @MacMadnessNews]

oh my god. by ONE POINT and ONE more correct pick. With our first ever bracket steal (if you will), out from the shadows... @kristenrosie scores 101 points and snags the bracket prize. Sorry, Kel!

[House of Mac Madness @MacMadnessNews]

Kelly is leading the brackets with 💯 points. But someone in the shadow brackets also had Kansas winning. We'll run the numbers and get back to you...

[House of Mac Madness @MacMadnessNews]

Congrats to our new champ Noah!!!
