I'm embarrassed at the seeding process this year. :Michigan_State: and :Louisville: got shafted but poor :Wichita_State: they will probably "flame out early" and everyone will be like I told you so they didn't play anyone. Having to play :Kentucky: :Louisville: and :Michigan: or :Duke: to get to the Final 4 is just STUPID hard.
Yep, Wichita State got completely fucked over. The seeding committee are some seriously manipulative fucks.Quote:

Yeah, Bilas thinks this Wichita State team is better than last years. I say the first time a solid team punches them in the mouth, they'll fold.
Ran through my first bracket and I surprised myself...
:Michigan_State: over :Oklahoma: for the NC.
I didn't predict this going in, that's for sure but it was just how it shook down based on my picks.
I have :Oklahoma: losing in the first round :D
In my initial rough draft bracket, I have them losing to San Diego State in the round of 32. How long that holds out, god only knows. My bracket will probably change around 100 different times between now and noon Thursday.
Yeah weren't they down like 20 to a team that didn't even make it into the tourney?Quote:

Typical Over/Under on number of times you hear "tumor" during a broadcast: 0.5.
Tonight: 26.5.
Did a last minute change to the winner of my bracket :nod: may not be the last change either.
The field is SO................. WEAK this year its not even funny. There is CLEARLY no favorite this year and if it weren't for the draw I'd prob would have picked :Wichita_State: to shock the world and run the table. However, there is just no way they (or any team) could run their likely gauntlet I can NEVER remember a #1 seed getting a tougher potential bracket than they did.Quote:

Wichita State is fucked no matter what they do when it comes to the public.
Yep unless they beat :Kentucky: :Louisville: :Duke: :Arizona: AND :Florida: in route to a title otherwise its a fluke they won.Quote:

:Dayton: costs me a Billion dollars time to sue the university class action style as I'm sure I'm not the only person that they just screwed out of the billion. :nod:
1 for 1 in upset picks :nod:

Son of a bitch! I had Dayton picked all fucking week, then while doing a last second review, at 11:50 AM, I change the goddamn pick to Ohio State. Goddamn me and my last fucking second meddling. :fp:
Suing JB too. :nod:Quote:

Didn't pick Dayton that's for sure.
:Pitt: is laying a BEATDOWN on the potheads and :Harvard: looks good early
Well done Harvard. I liked Harvard and with the 12/5 upset, I was strongly tempted to pick them, but I just wasn't able to convince myself to take Harvard over Cincinnati. It cost me a point, but I had Cincinnati losing to Michigan State next round, so I'm fine with the incorrect pick. I'd rather Harvard win anyways.
Changed my mind I suspect :Harvard: has a larger endowment than :Dayton: :nod:
Albany came up 12 points short, but between this game and the results from the SEC tournament, Florida is clearly vulnerable and not the big bad untouchable team all the parroting TV dumbasses were making them out to be.
good bye Ohio
The law school alma :Saint_Louis: hack a Pack stragey works as :NC_State: cannot hit a free throw and they BLOW a 16 point lead and are now in OT. wow!
NC State is trying to melt down and piss away this game. :fp:
And I am shocked so far. Really, there have only been two true blowouts so far in all of today (Wisconsin/American and Pittsburgh/Colorado). Everything else was actually pretty closely contested late in the contests and the final scores were rather close. Even the two remaining game still playing, one going to overtime and the other a four point game.
And in all this, a 1 seed, two 2s, a 3, a 4, three 5s, a 6, two 7s and an 8. With a 2, two 4s and a 7 yet to go. It's only the first day of the tournament, but there has been some close and very competitive games, across all seedings. I'm liking this more competitive NCAA tournament, where even 1s and 2s are truly being challenged now each game and each year, not just the token "maybe they can do it" 2/3/4 seed upsets here and there.
It worked in regulation, but now they're in serious foul trouble. If they get behind here in the OT and have to go back to hacking, they're going to start coming up short on players.Quote:

That 16 point lead being lost to cost you a billion $ must have hurt. :nod:Quote:

wow what a shot. sorry but the opening days of the NCAA Tourny are by far the biggest and best sporting event in the U.S. (and that includes the super bowl)
lmao and buffalo wild wings has a special overtime commercial which apparently they can have the networks play for every OT game?
Well my bracket is destroyed... thank you NDSU. Hugely disappointed in Oklahoma. They had no finish whatsoever.
Only one loss so far for me. Thanks Saint Louis.
I like it. :DQuote:
