March 17th, 2018 at 12:44 AM ^
I have Villanova beating Xavier
March 16th, 2018 at 11:32 PM ^
Oh. My. God.
It's happening.
March 16th, 2018 at 11:32 PM ^
March 16th, 2018 at 11:34 PM ^
UMBC deserves some muppets!
March 16th, 2018 at 11:34 PM ^
Un-fucking-real
March 16th, 2018 at 11:35 PM ^
March 16th, 2018 at 11:35 PM ^
but here it is now
March 16th, 2018 at 11:36 PM ^
looks 2 feet shorter than most of the Virginia team. That game was really special, and this tournament is WIDE open.
March 16th, 2018 at 11:41 PM ^
did not predict this. Damn.
March 16th, 2018 at 11:41 PM ^
Shows you this sucker is wide open. Truly a year of survive and advance. Nobody is that good. Unfortunately south is pretty open for UK. Them, UMBC, Kansas St, or Buffalo in elite 8.
March 16th, 2018 at 11:43 PM ^
Lost to ALBANY 83-39 this season!
One of the greatest upsets in sports history. Wow, so much fun!
March 16th, 2018 at 11:50 PM ^
March 16th, 2018 at 11:55 PM ^
the odds on the UVa game? What did $100 on UMBC to win outright pay?
March 17th, 2018 at 12:06 AM ^
If you placed the bet when the lines first came out, $4000. By tip it was down to $1900.

Every year I put one random bracket in at Yahoo (and call it, of course, "Yeoman Random"). Not coin-flip random--I generate some probabilities from Vegas money lines or, like this year, Massey probabilities. But there always seems to be a game where the random number comes up 99 and I get a headscratcher that makes me cringe when I click the X.
This year it came up for the first game on the whole bracket. Yes, I've got a Yahoo bracket with UMBC over Virginia.
If you're wondering, it has Michigan losing to UNC and ends with Villanova beating Tennessee in the final.
March 17th, 2018 at 12:00 AM ^
and Izzo's players aren't smart enough to beat the 2-3. No way he can turn Bridges into McGary in 2 days.
Langford and Winston will have to make Cuse pay from 3.
March 17th, 2018 at 12:06 AM ^
but cuse has to score some points. they are offensively challenged.
i picked cuse in my bracket over msu, because i figured their zone could shut them down.
March 17th, 2018 at 12:11 AM ^
coach may be in for a little pay raise.
March 17th, 2018 at 12:11 AM ^
March 17th, 2018 at 12:22 AM ^
to make it a game.
