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

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.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.

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.

Re: NCAA Tournament 2016
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.
Totally Kafkaesque
Re: NCAA Tournament 2016
MTSU's shooting is approaching "hit the reset button" mode.
Re: NCAA Tournament 2016
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.

And boom go the brackets. (Sparty about to lose.) This isn't gonna help Karl's St. Pats hangover.

That was the quickest pool exit ever.

That was awesome to see. Middle Tennessee shot the lights out the whole way so you gotta tip your cap to them.
Re: NCAA Tournament 2016
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.

Re: NCAA Tournament 2016
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?

Re: NCAA Tournament 2016
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.
Re: NCAA Tournament 2016
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.

Re: NCAA Tournament 2016
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.

Should be some good fights on the LIRR after this Notre Dame-Michigan game tonight.
Re: NCAA Tournament 2016
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.

There is no way a guy with Walkup's hairstyle and beard was going to lose in Brooklyn.

Re: NCAA Tournament 2016
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.
Re: NCAA Tournament 2016
My dad graduated with a degree in forestry from stephen f. Austin, where he met my mother who was a collegiate volleyball player. Its in nachadoches by the way.
