Re: 2017 March Madness
I was going to say! How about Oregon? Crazy!
I'm officially knocked out completely now too. And I'm solidly in 9th place. Hi, Sloonei! At least I beat you.

Re: 2017 March Madness
Wow, how about South Carolina in the Final Four? Crazy.
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 was thinking North Carolina would be the favorite at this point, but we'll see I guess.MovingPictures07 wrote:Wow, how about South Carolina in the Final Four? Crazy.

I'm surprised I somehow managed second place right now. My bracket is a bloodbath.

Re: 2017 March Madness
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.

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.

Re: 2017 March Madness
I don't know basketball (like at all) but that seemed like a very sloppy second half to me. I didn't watch the first half but there were a lot of fouls and missed shots in the second. Am I crazy or just ignorant to the ways of basketball?

Yeah, I didn't watch it, but it sounded like it sucked.
Re: 2017 March Madness
Sloppy basketball is the most entertaining basketball (except for fouling slowing down the pace).

Re: 2018 March Madness
Crazy Round 2 day today. First Syracuse barely pulls it off over MSU despite both teams towards the end looking like they were trying to throw the game as much as possible, and then UNC absolutely got wrecked by TAMU. And still more to come!

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

Of course they blew an entire-game massive double digit lead classic Cincinnati style.

At this point, go UMBC to win it all. I actually wasn't TOO bad off until that disaster.

Re: 2018 March Madness
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.

Re: 2018 March Madness
Little Caesars is giving away free lunch combos today. They promised free pizza if a #16 seed knocked out a #1 seed in the men's tournament this year. You have to place your order and pick up between 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. local time.
I bet their insurance company hates them right now.

Re: March Madness
I didn't watch any of the tournament after UB was eliminated until the championship game tonight. It was exciting, overtime always is. I was rooting for Texas Tech so I could at least say my school lost to the eventual champion.
Their last possession in regulation was kind of botched, and that opened the door for Virginia to dominate overtime.
