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:

    • My wish list is: A trailer for Final Fantasy VII part 3 and a proper look at Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Not happening, but I'd kill for would be another game of any genre in the Frostpunk world and another game in the Detroit: Become Human world.
    • I tried Wino-Mail and had the same issue with it that I have with New Outlook: My two centurylink.net email accounts (one of which is my primary email account) refuse to work with either one, and sometimes refuse to even log in, even though ALL the relevant information is accurate. Thunderbird does not have this problem, so I'll stick with what works, thank you.
    • For me it has everything feature wise that I want. But boy the app sucks big time. This and Teams. Ever since they made the transition to WebView it has been slow AF. I mostly use both apps in the browser now because of too much memory being used by these 2 apps. Hoping that native versions are being worked upon.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11 by Taras Buria The May 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey results are now available on the official Steam website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among the gaming audience. As of early June 2026, nearly 70% of all participants reported having a Windows 11-powered PC, while Windows 10's market share is steadily declining. According to Valve, in May 2026, Windows 11 increased its market share to 69.76% (+2.02 points), while Windows 10 dropped to 23.99% (-1.64 points). 64-bit Windows 7 is still showing up in Valve's reports, and apparently, about 0.07% of all survey participants still use the 17-year-old operating system. Valve no longer updates its client for Windows 7, but it still can access the platform, so the Windows 7 holdouts can stay away from newer Windows versions. Overall, 93.85% of all users run Windows (+0.38 points), while Linux is second with 3.99% (-0.53 points). macOS is third with at 2.16% (+0.15 points). The most popular Linux flavor is Arch Linux (0.35%), while macOS 26.4.1 is currently the dominant macOS release. On the hardware side, the most popular picks include an Intel processor (53.94% against AMD's 46.06%) with six cores (28.02%, -0.6 points), 16 GB of memory (41.14%, -0.28 points), and an NVIDIA graphics card (72.42%, with AMD having 19.13% and Intel 8.05%). The most popular graphics card on Steam is the desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (3.85%, -0.14 points), while the laptop RTX 4060 is second with 3.77%, and the RTX 3050 is third with 3.10%. The average amount of VRAM is 8GB (25.89%), and the dominant display resolution is the classic 1920x1080 pixels (51.89%, -0.32 points). As usual, you can find more details from the latest survey on the official website. The results for April 2026 are available here.
