Re: NCAA Tournament Challenge

Of course Oregon should never have been a #12. They actually didn't get screwed, it was the higher seeds that ended up having to play them early that got screwed.

Looks like seeding is still an inexact science. Eg., Oregon shouldn't have been a 12, but OK St should never have been a 5.

OK St should have been the 12 and Oregon should have been the 5 which means the only difference is the jersey color they wore! :)

Re: NCAA Tournament Challenge

Will see what happens when they aren't playing all the low seeded teams.

The Big 10 does get a lot of hype, this year they deserve it.

How many teams were in the top 25 at one point or another this year.

They make up 25% of the sweet 16. When was the last time any conference did that?

Illinois was darn close to getting there too.

Like I said, we will see where they are in a week.

Ohio St. was close to not being there and probably shouldn't be if it wasn't for 2 very bad calls.

Will see tonight if the Pac-12 is really that bad and if the Big-10 is really that good.

Re: NCAA Tournament Challenge

Could be a rough night for the old bracket. Miami is obviously toast but Ohio St seems to be mounting a challenge so wait and see. Interesting item, tonight on PTL both Wilbom and Kornholler picked LaSalle. Hope they're wrong.

Ohio St gets favorable officiating again.

Impressed with Carter-Williams of Syracuse. Reminds me a lot of Kobe Bryant.

A race to the bottom, been there all tourney.

MSU come on Izzo.

Didn't see the OSU game for questionable calls. Did think Ind was on the bottom side of a few.

Syracuse did look strong and deserved the W.

Were at least 5 no calls or bad calls that OSU got. There was one play where the OSU guy got the ball just inside the 3 point line and dunked it without taking one dribble.

C'mon Loisville! Give me a flicker of light in my bracket. Go State! Although, I reluctantly picked Duke. Left the emotions out of that pick.

Kansas and Florida would be nice too. Although, would like to see Michigan beat Kansas. That will be tough...

A brutal night. Went from 800 PPR to 80 in 4 games.
