Somehow the words "Cinderella" and "Yale" don't really go well together.

It's the sixth version of The Swamp. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm probably repeating an observation made elsewhere, if not here in previous seasons, but the "DON'T BET ON IT - NCAA" emblem that CBS Sports plasters on its brackets is faaaaantastic.

After all his searching, I'm interested in finding out how he got the Edney jersey.brian wrote:I'll be a lot more impressed if he ever gets that EMU jersey.
You're also right about Boykins.

In fairness, they both got tough matchups - Sean in particular. Wichita State was a top-15 Pomeroy team (#8 now after beating Zona like that). BTW, I've seen a lot of sweaty coaches - Pete Gillen used to coach UVA of course - but Sean turning two different shirts transparent last night was something else.brian wrote:The brothers Miller are laying quite the egg this tournament.

They were still both higher seeded and both got run of the gym. It's not like they both lost buzzer beaters or something.Shirley wrote:In fairness, they both got tough matchups - Sean in particular.

That was awesome to see. Middle Tennessee shot the lights out the whole way so you gotta tip your cap to them.

I only had MSU going to the final eight, so I'm not really that upset about it. Potentially helps me down the road if UVA (my pick to win it all)...well, wins it all.

That's the great thing about the Tournament. I got tickets for all 4 games in St. Louis today and that was the game I had the lowest expectations for. But it turned out to be a great game and a historic upset.howard wrote:niceJoe K wrote: Who has two thumbs and was at that game?

I will never forgive Calipari for playing the Harrisons over Ulis and Booker last season. Watching Bronson Koenig struggle to even pass the ball against a crappy Pitt team makes me pretty mad that Calipari didn't exploit the huge potential backcourt mismatches last year.

this Wisconsin-Pitt game is at one end of a spectrum that has Slamball on the other end and a normal basketball game in the middle.

I used the second overall pick in my tournament draft to snag Michigan State. Somehow, I ended up with MTSU with the 63rd choice. I'll take the 15 points.

I've backed way off watching college sports the last few years. So I'm trying to figure which conference for West Virginia. Got it on like my ninth guess. Of course they're in the Big-12, makes perfect sense.
And that master of in-game strategy Huggins just burned his last time out, eight minutes left.

Doing some back of the envelope stuff using Pomeroy as a guide, there are 3 teams left in the field that would be favorites over Wichita State in a national championship game (UNC, Virginia, Kentucky). Good seeding.

Stephen F. Austin's team is called the Lumberjacks? Are there any actual fucking trees in Texas?
Also it's not in Austin?

SF Austin would be about even in a hypothetical final against UConn, Maryland or Duke, with maybe a little bump for the game being in East Texas.
