Just read that there are exactly 3 perfect brackets left in existence.
Is someone here one of the clairvoyant??
Arizona looks nervous, rushing everything.
My brackets are busted. At this point I'm just rooting for Michigan and as many upsets as possible.
Looks like he's with his family
Did Rita bring nachos?
March 18th, 2017 at 10:03 PM ^
yeah, it was crazy
You'd only have a .001% chance of getting them all right. There's a reason brackets get busted
I don't think think you phrased this correctly, but I get your point
"each" for "every" and I think it's more clear.
MTSU took a bunch of runs, but could never get all that close. Butler wins.
Florida #24 shootin granny free throws like his dad
First to 50 is going to win Florida/Virginia. We would bomb both of these teams.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:23 PM ^
51 to 26 ten minutes left. Florida will win and we will bomb them.
ACC basketball = SEC football. The average teams ride the coattails of a few elite teams.
St. Mary's holding strong. Kenpom very well may hold true here.
This Iowa St.-Purdue game has the makings of a graet game
I filled out a bracket using only kenpom (as much as I could) and was surprised to see St Marys (#14) would be outright favored vs Arizona (#22). At minimum, seems like the even matchup in front of us was spot on by kenpom
which were his third and fourth of the night. the last one was an 'over the back' where he is falling backwards. seems like ariz is getting the calls. pulling for SMC in that environment, even though ariz is better for my bracket.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:05 PM ^
Yeah... pretty bad.
ACC is getting bombed in this tournament as Virginia is down 14. If Virginia loses, we're down to just UNC, Duke, and Louisville.
I hear sentences like that and I get into "bargain" mode where I say things like "I don't care how the ACC does as long as Louisville loses." Which is true. But it would be nice for the ACC to be down to just two (or fewer) teams in the Sweet Sixteen, and if we can help make that happen, let's go for it.
Well with Iowa State and Purdue one team that chokes all the time is guaranteed at least the sweet sixteen.
49-46 Arizona. 10 minutes left. Good game. St. Marys still hanging tough.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:04 PM ^
ACC - Absolute Crap Conf. What a joke
March 19th, 2017 at 12:47 AM ^
then Florida went on a little 23-0 run
March 18th, 2017 at 10:04 PM ^
as our head coach earlier this year.
Said it then, I'll say it now, please, no, never.
Boring as shit basketball and always a fucking choker.
Please let that never come to pass.
March 19th, 2017 at 12:49 AM ^
as the warm up for Frank SInatra
March 18th, 2017 at 10:05 PM ^
Refs won't let SMC win this game.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:11 PM ^
Thank heavens UVA is catching a beat. We as a nation didn't deserve Wisconsin-Virginia.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:14 PM ^
Not like Wisconsin/Florida is going to be us and OK State.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:18 PM ^
It's definitely a lesser of two evils thing, but at least someone is likely to crack 50 now.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:15 PM ^
but they did clear out the bracket on their own, so...
March 18th, 2017 at 10:19 PM ^
How do you call that? That's awful.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:20 PM ^
Sigh, basketball officiating. Though since I have Zona in the title game, I probably shouldn't complain.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:21 PM ^
that call on Zags was as bad and as game changing as the NW game.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:21 PM ^
Speaking of things not deserved, St Mary's deserved better than this crew...
March 18th, 2017 at 10:22 PM ^
out west.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:22 PM ^
Refs are killing my enjoyment of the tourney. Terrible officiating ALL DAY
March 18th, 2017 at 10:23 PM ^
Yeah this day has sucked. Half the games are blowouts, the others have been ruined by the refs.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:23 PM ^
This has been a terrible day in the world of basketball refereeing
March 18th, 2017 at 10:23 PM ^
I need Arizona to win for my bracket (it's still probably fucked but I did go a cool 28-4 in the 1st round), but that call on the St Mary's guy was AWFUL.
Is it me, or has the officiating been way worse in the tournament so far than in other years?
I've seen some truly horrible calls, to say nothing of missing the fucking hand through the basket goal tend (fun fact - same exact thing happened to us in the NIT final vs. South Carolina and... Amaker did the exact same thing, running on to the court and getting T'd up - must be a Dukie thing!)
But seriously, what's with the refs?
March 18th, 2017 at 11:26 PM ^
Yeah, fergodsakes if you are not sure, don't call anything.
You are not a player. You don't have to impact the game.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:24 PM ^
Feel bad for kids that aren't allowed to decide their own fate and instead have officials ensuring outcomes
March 18th, 2017 at 10:26 PM ^
Top seeds got some help out in Salt Lake tonight, that's for sure.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:26 PM ^
Basketball is setting basketball back 50 years. Just brutal offensively.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:35 PM ^
I can't stand watching their games. I don't care how successful Tony Bennett is, his teams are brutal to watch.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:41 PM ^
I know they win some games, but I can't even imagine rooting for a team coached by him. Pretty sure you have to convince yourself you enjoy watching boring ass shit like that.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:45 PM ^
We don't have to watch them play Wisconsin.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:28 PM ^
worst calls ever that cost the underdog a 3-pt game. It's embarassing that the only people running up and down the court and getting paid can't do their job. Three men, three vantage points, no stones to get it right.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:29 PM ^
Purdue is so much more comfortable with bigs they don't have to guard 20 feet out.
March 18th, 2017 at 10:31 PM ^
The tournament is perfect for them until they run into us. Good shooters, great big men. They could make a run.
