The Confidential’s Bracket Contest: 2015

In what is now an annual tradition, the Confidential will have another bracket contest in 2015.

We will give out a prize (at least one CASH prize to eligible entrants with a PayPal account) to the winner!

The prize(s) will be announced later.  The more people that fill out brackets, the bigger the prize!

If you think you know basketball, and as a fan of the ACC you SHOULD know basketball, let’s see how well you can do against other fans of ACC schools.  Go here: https://yho.com/tourney?g=126726&k=d93fe3b2cd842a95

Oh, and good luck.  You’ll need it.

The Confidential Bracket Update: March 24, 2014

Duke… gone.  NC State… gone.   Pittsburgh… gone.   Syracuse… gone.   North Carolina… gone.   Louisville?  Not ours yet.   Virginia… still alive.  There is a reason why Virginia was #1 in the ACC regular season and a conference tourney champ.

The Confidential Bracket Update: March 22, 2014

Congratulations to Pittsburgh, Syracuse, North Carolina, and Virginia for winning their first round second round games.  Also, these are interesting times in the ACC, with Buzz Williams on board at Virginia Tech and Jim Calhoun expressing interest at Boston College.  In a game where coaches are very important, the ACC is stepping up.  Your move, Wake Forest.
