Wow thats a BS call vs Princeton

 

And another one. Wow.

 

Yea that was terrible. That was an awesome block.

 

Princeton uniforms look pretty cool

Well now that the million bucks is out of the way thanks to me second-guessing myself, go Princeton and Asheville.

 

Nothing like having Morehead earlier in the week (lol) and then switching to Louisville a couple of days ago. At least I had Louisville losing in the 2nd round anyway.

DAMMIT. Battle deserved better than that ending. Oh well, at least he got a taste of the tourney.

 

Louisville is my first S16 team out

Pitt is only up by 5 points right now.

 

Typical 1 seed start slow, close at half, then open 2nd half on 20-0 run and win by 30 like usual

 

A 16 seed is bound to win one day. May as well be today. :D

 

UK losing to Princeton would be so clutch. Probably won't happen though.

 

I know there have been some 3-4 point wins for 1 seeds over 16, but the closest I feel like we've come to seeing a 16 seed win was UConn-Albany back in 2006. I think Albany had a 9 point lead with 7-8 minutes left before UConn went on a big run and won comfortably.

So far both the play-in winners who have played have gotten off to good starts. The first, Clemson, faded in the 2nd half. Hope UNC Asheville has a different fate. That would really turn the SE bracket unbelievably wacky.

I'm pretty sure one year that Purdue was one shot away from losing to a 16 seed as a 1 seed. I think it was Western Carolina or something like that. They had a wide open 3 to win it but missed. Purdue got upset by Tubby Smith's Georgia team the next game.

 

Also Georgetown-Princeton back in the late 80's but that might be before your time lol.

From wiki, there have been five 16 seeds to lose by less than five points:

 

Fairleigh Dickinson lost to Michigan in 1985 (4 points, 59–55)

Princeton lost to Georgetown in 1989 (1 point, 50–49)

East Tennessee State lost to Oklahoma in 1989 (1 point, 72–71)

Murray State lost to Michigan State in 1990 (4 points, 75–71 in OT)

Western Carolina lost to Purdue in 1996 (2 points, 73–71, WCU missed a possible game-tying shot as time expired)

I'm 0-fer on picks today so far.

 

If it makes you feel better, that's as impressive as getting them all.

 

 

haha. oddly, it doesn't make me feel much better.

Hahaha... it should make you feel better that KU shoud now have a cake walk to the elite 8 at least. This day so far does not make me feel good about KSU/Utah State tonight.
