I was in a free march madness tournament way back when with cbssportsline. With over 10,000 entries, I was in second place going into the final. I needed Arkansas to win straight up (they were -9 or something like that) for a $5K prize. They blew it for me and the dog came in.

That same year, I won an obscure madness pool (a seattle newspaper was running online with about 1000 people) and won tickets to a ncaa quarterfinal game (and flight) the following year.

Bromo,

I lost big money in a pool with that same game as well. They were playing UCLA.

Tough beat.

I had it in my mind it was Kentucky that beat them?? I need to go look it up now.

EDIT: OK, I *had* Kentucky as a 9 point favorite only needing them to win straight up. They lost to the dog Arizona in OT no less (1997).
