2013 NCAA Tournament

[Guest]

I wish teams didn't basically get home court. Eliminate it altogether. Western Kentucky has damn near no support as a 16 tonight. As far as Brad Stevens goes, I've had it in my mind for a while, he'll take the Duke job once K retires.

 

the duke job is going to a dukie. i like Mark Turgeon for UCLA.

 

Haha, yeah right.

[snoodmonger]

Omg we're going to lose this game.

No you won't, WKU can't shoot at all. If they could you might have went down.

 

I'm laughing at the image of this team--if we get that far--playing VCU. Would we ever get the ball past the timeline?

[snoodmonger]

I'm gonna puke.

At some point a 16 has to win right? We've had multiple 15 seeds win now recently 2 seeds aren't much worse than 1's.

I would think Stevens cant turn down 6yrs/20M. Throw in bonuses for F4 and conference titles so hes not vastly underpaid if he does well. Hes young enough that if he chokes he can still catch on at a smaller school later.

Apparently no one seed that didn't win their opener by at least ten points has ever went on to win it all.

stevens would be a terrible hire. he would bomb worse than howland.

This KU team ain't winning it all. I didn't need that stat to come to that conclusion

minnesota is really taking their wooden frustration out on ucla

I just thought it was interesting.

I could see them winning this game, but resting players in the last minutes because of an absolute slaughter is something I would not have predicted. Even with the UCLA situation.

Minnesota/UCLA is the most predictable "upset" of the tourney thus far. This pretty close to being what I imagined happening.

[Soul]

20 point drubbing, even?

I saw it being a 10+ point Minny win, with a good chance of being an outright blowout. The Gophers underachieved heavily coming in, and were a terrible matchup for UCLA.

I predicted a UCLA blowout loss.

Floyd Mayweather just lost 7 million dollars due to UCLA:

lol what the hell.

I predict FGCU will be the first 15 seed in the Sweet 16.

 

I hope you're right.

It's going to happen eventually. Cuse only beat UNC Asheville by 7 last year (Asheville actually led with 10 minutes left and it was a 3 point game with 38 seconds left) and then we had Gonzaga and Kansas this year.

It'll happen whenever Alford gets a team to the number one seed.

Of the millions of brackets entered into ESPN's system, zero remain perfect, and only 5 had 30 of 32 picks correct.

 

This was a fun first round.

Too bad one of the 16s couldn't pull it off this year because every other possible "upset" happened at least once. Not that 10 beating 7 or 9 over 8 are really upsets but I can't remember that ever happening before.
