RedEyedGhost Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 If MSU and USC keep playing like this, KU will be in the elite 8 again. Marquette is looking much better than Missouri early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Storm Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Mizzu has a habit of starting slow then kicking it in gear. Both of these games look evenly matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brude Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 My bracket is a mess and I'm in last place. I'm so embarrassed, I've never done so poorly on a bracket. Serves me right for not paying attention to the game this year at all. I'm gonna go hide in a hole now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Missouri starting to pull away from Marquette. Watching these same Sheraton and Buffalo Wild Wings commercials is brutal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Both MSU-USC and Marq-MU are excellent. I keep expecting somebody to pull away, but it hasn't happened yet. Under 8:00 in both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Storm Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Siena is doing also good job hanging with Louisville, good games today. EDIT Siena is now leading Louisville with 9 minutes left. :hat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalThor Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 All three games right now within a handful of points. MSU and Louisville are in some deep shit. At least in Louisville's case they have some time left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Storm Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 down goes USC MIZZU and Marquette looks like its going to be a crazy ending. Oh that poor bastard for Marquette stepping over the line on the inbound :wideeyed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S John Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Some nail biters going on right now. Louisville and Pitt need to tighten up down the stretch if my bracket is going to win me some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eponine Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Even though I picked Louisville over Siena, I'm still excited to see Siena playing a competitive game. Besides, at this point it may be better to hope to see everyone else's picks go out early, even earlier than I predicted, and give my own picks an easier path.

Mack Kilimaro Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 So, who's doing better than President Obama's picks so far? He got 14/16 of the Sweet 16, that's downright respectable.

Arakasi Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Not me. :P I didn't obviously go chalk enough. I have 4 brackets altogether. The best I did was 13/16. (and that one sadly has Wake going to the final four) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/entry?entryID=2813746"]The Presidential Picks[/url], courtesy of ESPN.[/quote] I think I only gott 13/16, which is sad because I could have gotten 14/16 by just picking the top 4 seeds to advance out of each bracket. Only one lower seed won in the second round, a five over a four. I suppose you could count a 12 over a 13 as a battle between lower seeds too. There were lots of close calls though.

Arakasi Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I don't know what it is but over the last 4-5 years there has been a sharp downturn on the number of upsets. Over that same time there has also been a large decrease in the number of mid majors. If those are related I'm not sure. Were there more upsets previously because mid majors were being upset more, or because they were upsetting others more? I'd have to lean towards the second, because even when there were more mid majors I don't think many of them were being seeded 1-4. (although there were exceptions like St Josephs and such) Next year if I remember I'll probably go much more chalk heavy in picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Wolf Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Honestly, I think Zona can beat Louisville. And in complete seriousness, my first bracket had Zona going to the Elite Eight and losing to Kansas...until I redid it with a "serious" bracket. I curse the morning I woke up and decided to redo my bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet in every case, the favorite has then been able to find that extra gear and pull away. In the end, the difference between a 1 and an 8 isn't that large, often it's just that slight difference in composure down the stretch. None of the "great" teams have looked that great, but we're still in for one of the chalkiest Sweet Sixteens I can recall.
