Big East Tournament Bracket Challenge

I've been looking around, but I can't find anything to make a custom bracket challenge online. So I'm thinking we can do one through a thread. Would anyone be interested in doing one? I'll volunteer to keep track of everything.

We would probably do an incremental point system. So games are worth one more than they were in the first round. So, one point for each correct first-round pick, two for each correct second-round pick, etc.

Anyone interested?

I know we did one last year via yahoo - but I guess that was NCAA tourney- not just BE tourney.
