Neowin's NCAA Tournament Pick 'Em


Recommended Posts

I'd dont know if anybody went to any of the 1st and 2nd round games, but my Dad and I went to the opening round games in Charlotte. Probably the most fun i've had in a long while.

We had seats in the upper level, but there were actually some good seats, we were in the corner and had a great view of the court. Sadly I was surrounded by a bunch of Carolina fans. In both of Duke's games the Carolina fans bandwagoned on the Delaware St. and Mississippi St. It was fun though, all the Carolina fans talking smack, but it was more fun dishing back.

Well, I've got 2 Final Four teams left, which is what I usually get every year (Illini, UNC).

Georgia Tech let me down. Totally flat against Louisville (a very good but overrated team). Syracuse...blah. I half expected Florida to lose, Nova is a good ballclub and the Gators were just too reliant on the 3-pointer.

The only one that really irritates me now is Duke. Miss. State had them but they made some stupid shot selections and had some dumb turnovers.

Oh well. The way Ronald Ross is playing right now, Texas Tech could be in the title game.

NC State vs UNC in the Elite 8

Even though they won 2 games already, State is dangerous, should be interesting. NC State owes a big thanks to Wake for getting them into the tournament when Chris Paul tried to get some from Julius.

I have 3/4 left that can make it to the final 4. Unfortunately the team I had picked to win is also the one I don't have anymore (stupid Kansas...)

I have 3 out of 4 left in CHicago (missing UW-M), in Albuquerque i only have Washington left, in Syracuse i have UNC and Nova left, and Duke and UK in Austin. Half of my Final Four is left with UNC and Ok. St. It's been an interesting tourney.

all i gotta say is go big ten!  3 teams in the sweet 16, from the so-called "worst" major conference.  :)

Especially when you have Wisconsin play three straight games against double digit seeded teams :pinch:

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
