(besides, that was the NIT, so it doesn't count) And that why it's so much worse. 28 straight NCAA appearances! New record set this season! KU fans never deny any of our seasons have happened. I'm going to go watch Highlander 2. I don't understand why we get shit for this, we haven't lost in the first round for more than a decade. Duke lost in the first round in '12 and '14, but they don't get this.

Pretty much yeah... I kinda did go blue bloods in the final 4 - KU, UK, Duke and AZ. Coin flip for UK/KU and of course Duke taking it all...

Rhom Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I went Nova and UK in the final... As to my other Final Four teams, I have West Virginia and... Is REG around? No? So its just us? Okay... Purdue. No one tell REG though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about basketball! That's kind of the point. March Madness is one of the few sporting events here in the U.S. that people who don't care about sports participate in. The bracket is a 64 team single elimination tournament, and it only takes a few minutes to fill out. It'll be funny to see how many people you beat, especially if you can beat some of the college basketball junkies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex-wife picked an entire bracket based off which mascot could beat the other and won the pool we were in. "Stanford... what are they?" "The Cardinal." "So a bird?" "No... its a tree actually..." "That makes no sense..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperry Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 This was the chalkiest bracket I've ever filled out, but I just didn't feel confident with any of the sleepers. Ended up with what will be by far the most common final four of KU, AZ, Duke, UK. KU beating Zona in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one "upset" is Gonzaga, I actually picked them to win it all just for the hell of it. This sums up my knowledge of college basketball in 2017...some guys dad wants a billion dollars from Nike for his kids, the balls on that guy huh!.....Connecticut is still the most dominant team around(womens)....a player from Duke is seen as a jerk.....and Michigan won the B1G Ten for the first time in forever, and played a game in their warm ups after their plane skidded of the runway.

If they hadn't won in '15 I think you would hear a lot more about it - especially with the up and down play they have had this year. That and that it is in the NCAA bylaws that no one can talk negatively about Duke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S John Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I didn't spend a lot of time doing my picks this year, maybe 10 minutes each. I just have no idea. Watched a lot of Big 12 basketball but only a smattering of games from other conferences. But I did 3 brackets this year, the westeros one and then 2 for a little $$, and I have different Final 4's in all of them. I've got: Duke, Purdue, Arizona, Butler Villanova, Louisville, WVU, UCLA and for Westeros I went pretty chalk-y Duke, Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexal Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm no different then everyone else. Pretty chalky across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Yeah, this year is just one big guessing game. I feel little to no confidence in basically every team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to say, other than refusing to pick Duke to win a single game (love that kid!), he pretty much went chalk through to the final 4, with UK winning it all (a requirement in this household, if you only have 1 bracket).

Rhom Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Lorenzo Romar is finally fired. Michael Porter Jr could be back on the market... but sounds like new Mizzou coach Cuonzo Martin may be hiring Porter Sr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid is dead set on not sniffing the tournament. I just don't get why you'd waste your 1 year in college if you were a 1 and done kid. Just go train for the draft in Florida or something if you aren't interested in competing in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I just don't understand why Martin would leave Cal for Mizzou. Baffling. Okay, I just looked it up, and Mizzou is going to Cuonzo Martin $3.5 Million per year. Why the fuck would anybody pay him that much money. Baffling. USC finally figured out that they were in a game. ETA: Martin has winning percentages of: .589 at Missouri St (0 NCAA tournament appearances) .606 at Tennessee (1 tournament) .614 at Cal (1 tournament) And this fool will now be the sixth highest paid coach in college basketball? Missouri... time to put down the meth pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh... I was getting ready to respond about Arkansas basketball being great in the early 90's then realized you meant football. Carry on. I agree.
