So I can't watch the main game with that. Get back to work, slacker! What do you think this is, an unpaid vacation day!? I'm pulling for UNCW as that was one of my early round upsets!

Ramsay B. Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Great inbounds play by Princeton, but the dude missed the 3. Tip-in cuts it to 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first play in game was because one of those smallish mountain conferences split in two. Both were eligible for an auto bid and rather than reduce the number of a team large teams, they moved the field to 65. that I was ok with - it added an interesting twist. But to have 11 seeds or something playoff - that's the part that has not made sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Everyone, point and laugh at @Whiskeyjack and @Jaxom 1974 as the first to fall from perfection (picked Princeton over ND). I can't wait to join that list imminently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrum Aeternum Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 So we all know the mojo of 12s regularly beating 5s in the Tournament, but has a 12 ever been favored over a 5? I just looked at my Yahoo Sports app and it shows that Minnesota is a 1.5 point dog to MTSU! I picked Middle to win and thought they were underseeded, but I can't remember ever seeing this before.

sperry Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 How does Notre Dame have the exact same team every year? It's a bunch of ugly, unathletic, undersized guys. There is always some atrocious 6'5" guy who plays inside with an old man game. Every fucking year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched them in the ACC tournament and couldn't believe that Steve Vastoria is still there. The epic UK v ND game was just two tourneys ago, but it still seems like a lifetime to me. ETA: I tend to feel the same way about Wisconsin too. But substitute Bronson Koenig for Vastoria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I saw that there was one back in the 90s I think. Yep - since 1999, Lamar Odom and RI were favored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westerosi Coast Gangster Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Notre Dame rarely has superstar, do it all players. They always have guys who can shoot the 3, and they tend to not beat themselves. White men might not be able to jump, but we can shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were all 6'5-6'8" and could fly all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
