Joe Pesci Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Tony Bennett's teams continue their streak of hot garbage play in the tourney, and this historic loss is the feather in his cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Did I just hear them say he interviewed for UNC-Charlotte and didn’t get it only to come back and win this game in Charlotte?!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. X Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 And now there are no perfect brackets in the major online sites: Quote Yeah, so... there are no perfect brackets left in the world. Through 28 games of the 2018 NCAA tournament, there were 25 perfect brackets left across all major bracket games. Then UMBC — and the biggest upset in the history of the NCAA tournament — happened. We were tracking tens of millions of brackets at five major bracket games, including the Capital One March Madness Bracket Challenge Game, ESPN, Bleacher Report, Yahoo, and CBS. From ncaa.com.

I wish everyone in this thread could hear the bullshit on sports talk radio from Pitt fans. You'd think the Pitt job is better than landing as HC at UCLA during the Walton era...

sperry Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 That's insane. That UMBC team had no talent at all, and they just drubbed Virginia. That wasn't a case of a team that should have been a 14 seed or something, that team was a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingintheNorth4 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It finally happened. Not only is this the biggest upset in the history of the NCAA tournament, it's one of the biggest upset in the history of sports. This is up there with the Miracle on Ice, Buster Douglas beating Mike Tyson, Super Bowl 42, Appalachian State beating Michigan in 2007. UMBC, the one in 1-135. March Madness indeed.

Paladin of Ice Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Well, with Virgina done and New Mexico state going down, my bracket is pretty close to dead. But man, as someone who loves to root for underdogs, seeing a 16 seed take out the top seed makes it worthwhile. I'll have to raise a glass to UMBC tonight, they did something special out there. ... Fuck, but I wish I followed through on my desire to pick Cincinnati to win that division. Although knowing my luck, they'll be knocked out in the next round or something...

RedEyedGhost Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Watching the Inside March Madness show: UMBC lost to Albany by 44 earlier in the season, both of Lyles parents are UVA grads, UMBC was only in the tournament because the the beat Vermont on a 3 with 0.5s remaining in their tournament championship (who had beaten them by 28 at home earlier in the season). This is a crazy story. Did UVA even prepare for them or have they spent all week on their potential round 2 opponents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sperry Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Bennett is in a weird place. His system is just so ill-fitted for being a tournament favorite, when the last thing you want to do is slow the game down and give a team a chance to shoot unsustainably well for the entire game, while you shoot unsustainably poorly.
