Duquesne Boardhost 2019 NCAA Tournament Bracket Contest

Towsonkid asked about this years bracket pool so I figured I would put this up. Was originally going to post closer to Selection Sunday but makes sense to do it now to get as many people registered as possible before the tourney starts. The provided link takes you right to the page for the bracket group.

Click the link and once on the site, click the red button in the middle of the page that reads "Create Bracket Now" to register. One Bracket per Entrant. You can use an existing ESPN account login or create one for free when registering. Good Luck!

Re: Duquesne Boardhost 2019 NCAA Tournament Bracket Contest

Wanted to bump this topic up now that the bracket is released. The play in games are a shoe in to the next round, you don’t have to pick a winner for these, so people have until this Thursday to submit a bracket.

It’s very easy to register (if you aren’t already) and fill out a bracket and then you can go in the site throughout the tourney to see how your bracket stacks up.

Good luck!

Re: Duquesne Boardhost 2019 NCAA Tournament Bracket Contest

I usually do ok in bracket pools except for my fatal weakness of being overly loyal to A 10 teams. 

I was doing well at work and on this one until VCU and St. Louis played.

Not one team left in either NCAA or NIT.  Dukes should have taken the CBI bid.

It used to be an advantage since they always used to underestimate the A 10.  Hopefully it will again some day.

Most everyone in the A10 agreed this was a down year, and with a lot of teams bringing back their best players next year, one would hope the A10 does better in March.

Duquesne fans know our basketball. 

So far over 70% majority of those in our board hosted group's brackets are above average percentile with the largest grouping above the 80th percentile.

Coffee, my guess is that you wouldn't have posted that if you were below the median line.

Yes, that's where I am.  Near the bottom of the DU Boardhost contestants.

Lol!  You and the rest of us are nowhere near the bottom of all those entered.  At the time, all those on our roster were above the 40th percentile  and you're above the median with most well above that of those total in the ESPN ranks... we have someone now in the top 99th percentile... not me though.

Re: Duquesne Boardhost 2019 NCAA Tournament Bracket Contest

Home team brackets are doing even better... ALL are either at or well above the median and 1/3 being above the 90th percentile.

If Virginia takes it all, Jack will have one of the VERY best brackets in the nation!  Wouldn’t mind seeing that.  Duke’s had some real squeakers and may not be better right now.  He’s already above over 99% and with everybody else taking Duke, it could be astronomically good if Virginia wins.

We have our winner.

No matter what happens Jack will indeed win our grand prize from the group. Coffee will come in second regardless of what happens as well.

Re: Duquesne Boardhost 2019 NCAA Tournament Bracket Contest

Honored to have secured this prestigious honor!

Coffee, would love to see Virginia win and get an even higher percentile rank nationally. But given I’ve already won all of the pools I’m in, it would just be icing on the cake - it all broke my way this time around
