Clark Kellogg mentioned people that probably did just that, "no need to watch this late game 1 vs 16, it'll be a blowout ". Lol it was. I feel the same way about the bracket. And for it to be a team that i saw play twice a week. Ive spent a good amount of time talking to Ryan Odom, Lyles, Maura and Grant this year and i can tell you they are just plain great young men. Ive seen them overcome a few 2nd half deficits by being as tough as nails. And it's a cliche, but they have so much heart and grit. They never get dowm on themselves. On my weekly segment with s local radio station this week, i stopped short of saying they would win. But i honestly did say "some year, a 16 is going to beat a 1. So UMBC is no doubt saying 'Why not us?'" Nights like last night are why i love college basketball and in particular MId-Major hoops.

STUDque Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 So if all our brackets get busted together, then are they really busted? Mine was in awful shape when Arizona lost but I now have new life since UVA went down too. Based on what I've been seeing on SportsCenter all year, the bracket was destined for this many upsets....it's just so darned difficult to pick which ones. I saw a fun snippet on Twitter this morning: out of ESPN's 1.73 million brackets, there's exactly one that got EVERY PICK WRONG in the first round. That's practically Hall of Fame worthy.

revkev Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 So in real college sports - you know where the players aren't paid or paid for - and do not start because I have solid insider info on it - the Lady Huskies demonstrated to Virginia how a 1 seed takes care of business. Of course they have to listen to their coach because if they don't it's next woman up. The insider info I have is committed n sense - woman's teams don't via payouts because there's not enough money to justify the expenditure. The picture my insider paints is that if a hoops or football program has recruited a four or five star recruit they've paid someone, somewhere for the right to contact him. It's pretty much the picture we saw from the FBI report. There's way more of the same out there. This was just one agency.

StrokerAce Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 You also have to take into account the scoring. If it's weighted each round then it changes things dramatically. i.e. one final four pick(16 pts)=sixteen first round picks(1pt) BTW- I wish the rev would stop trying to pee in my Cheerios...

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy The NCAA tournament is like the Masters. You have the right mix of underdogs and big names and leave the middle out. So there's bound to be early round upsets but in the end the names will rise to the top. Duke, Kentucky and Kansas are still in, that's all CBS and the NCAA cares about. Plenty to carry the TV ratings and the upsets just create more intrigue. No different from WWF only there the party company's know it's fixed. I am enjoying it when I watch. The Gonzaga game the other night reminded me of the old Big East. I'd love to see them win it all because that's not who the NCAA would prefer. To be sure I don't believe the individual games are fixed just that the system is rigged to almost insure a great leader board. Exactly like the Masters. Wait doesn't CBS cover both?
