2013 DBB March Madness bracket challenge and open thread

If you're interested in taking on fellow DBB'ers in a Yahoo! Tourney Pick 'Em league, here's where you can do that. The password to join is the big man we never thought would be a Piston a year ago, "drummond". Again, the link is here. (Seriously, click here to join!)

Below are some other links you may find useful before you leave all your March Madness Muse-ings in the comments:

• If you need help filling out your bracket, don't look now here - it's Kyle Singler and Kim English filling out their homer brackets in an incredibly boring segment with Ryan Field.

• SBN, however, has regional breakdowns and 'expert' picks that might actually be helpful.

• Personally, I'm a fan of the wicked sma't people who give Davidson great odds to pull off the upset against Marquette.

• Pomeroy college basketball rankings.

• Predictions based on mascot fights.

• NCAA Tourney time is a good time to get familiar with potential draft picks. You can follow SBN's draft coverage here, and Jepyr was kind enough to get us started here in the FanPosts.

• Here's a GIF of an otter dunking:
