UMBC didn't win, but we had two 7-seeds and two 9-seeds reach the Sweet 16 today instead.
You expect the 1-4 seeds to make the sweet 16 right? Only one of the eight teams to advance today was a 1-4 seed. Good stuff.

March madness is real. I bet Kentucky didn't think their 5 seed would be the best in their region in the Sweet 16.

Re: 2017 March Madness
In a North Carolina/Gonzaga matchup, I'd give UNC the edge.MovingPictures07 wrote:I would have thought that too, but 538 which aggregates various statistics thinks otherwise. They actually give the UNC-Oregon match a 52%/48% probability, which is nearly an exactly even match.

It's also Gonzaga's first Final Four appearance ever (I believe), and they are definitely the favorite to win it out of the four teams left, but they're still a solid group of teams left.
Pretty cool stuff.
I'm surprised I somehow managed second place right now. My bracket is a bloodbath.
But yes, I agree that Gonzaga has an easier path to the Championship game than UNC, and therefore a higher chance of winning it all.

This is exciting though. Two 1&2 seeds have been eliminated already, and we're only halfway through the round of 32.

Re: 2017 March Madness
Just scrolled through my bracket. I only picked one upset that was higher than a 10-seed in the first round. 11 Rhode Island over 6 Creighton.

Re: March Madness Discussion
I didn't watch the game, but I did see a couple stats afterward. A team shooting 78% does attribute some to preparation, but there was certainly some luck involved. When everything is rolling your way, it's hard to lose.

It seems like Gonzaga has been underrated every single year, and this year is no exception.

Re: March Madness Discussion
I know right? Wasn't their coach upset that they didn't get a 1 seed?
Anyway, fun game to watch. Middle Tennessee looked solid and poised.

Re: March Madness Discussion
I didn't call Yale or UALR, but I did call Wichita State and Gonzaga (which I'm sure a lot of people did). I'll take 13 out of 16 on Day 1.

Tomorrow?MovingPictures07 wrote:Well, there's UNC with an insane sense of urgency, so FGCU's hopes are significantly lowered just less than 5 minutes into the second half. I'm really doubting it now, but I suppose anything is possible.
Someday a 16 seed will upset a 1 seed. Someday...

Double-overtime on the way. This is what March Madness is all about.

MovingPictures07 wrote:In other news, looks like 12 Yale over 5 Baylor will likely be the first upset of this year's tournament (I don't count 9 seeds beating 8 seeds).
Looks like we might have another one. 12 Little Rock just went on an 18-5 run in the last 3 minutes to send the game to overtime, against 5 Purdue.
