Let's go ZIPS!

I hope Ohio destroys today.

I wish I had realized that. I just didn't think their region was that tough.

 

Has there ever been a more pathetic showing by a conference that got eight teams in? I think they need to be limited to five next year.

Right. No matter what happens next year, we should definitely limit the Big East to five teams, based on this tiny sample of games.

:D

 

Big east was way overrated this year, Andy.

The Big 12 and the Big East, by any metric, were the two best leagues in the country this year. RPI, Pomeroy, teams in the tourney, whatever measure you use.

 

This performance is absolutely pathetic.

 

Edit: Those two facts ARE mutually exclusive. Excuse my lack of English skills.

One person in the Yahoo Pick'em contest had Villanova over Georgetown in the championship game. That entry is appropriately named ctk FAIL bracket.

Akron doesn't play today.

According to Pomeroy, the ACC and Big 12 were the two best leagues in the country this year.

I had a feeling as soon as I saw the stupid South that it would be the death of my bracket, and here we are. Texas A&M is already the only team left that can get me any points out of that region.

 

At least Butler is winning.

FAIL, IDK why I thought they were the Murray State Zips. Let's go RACERS!

Should've known. I need to just not talk.

[Outshined_One]

Two of my three brackets have already been nuked, so I'm okay with all of this.

[bukie]

On a related note, Pomeroy is pretty feisty on Twitter this tournament.

You mean Racers? LOL I don't know how you confused two teams from different conferences.

:oops: Yeah, see about 4 posts up. I don't know why I thought that. Apples and Oranges though, the important thing is that Butler loses.

Easy confusion. Racers zip around the track. :D

[Outshined_One]

I'd be vaguely upset if Butler lost here, but only vaguely.

[Outshined_One]

Tennessee isn't playing the cleanest game they could right now.

[chuckywang]

Anybody have a coverage map for tomorrow? I wanna know if they're gonna show Duke/Cal or Purdue/TAMU?

I'm glad you're on board!

[Careless]

:-)) Think that's a foul?

[Outshined_One]

Murray State and Ohio are not particularly good at this FT thing so far.

NO. 1 reason why upsets do not happen. NUMBER ONE!

[Derwood]

also the #1 reason upsets DO happen (depending on which team you're talking about)

[CubbieBum]

What's he saying? I made a bracket going solely off of who he had ranked higher. So far it is tied with my own bracket.

Here's a fun fact: Since 1999, 10 seeds are 10-8 against 2 seeds in the second round.
