Former Ball State guards playing well in back-to-back games: Maurice Acker for Marquette and now Melvin Goins for Tennessee.
-
I'd like to petition for a new derisive nickname, and one that my friend just posted on my wall - the Big JVeast - is my nomination. Big Least is just getting old.
-
Purdue certainly doesn't deserve a #4 either. You're in luck, Smack. When I was deciding on a 13 to pick, it was down to Murray and Siena and I went with Siena - I'm positive that since Murray won, Purdue's now going to win to give me the old double-whammy of wrong upset picks.
-
Marquette and ND's seeds were both ridiculous (I was saying that before they lost). I don't think the other upsets really reflect on the seeds. It may, however, accurately reflect how ridiculously overrated the big east was this year. I'm sick of playing the sample size card, I really am. And the selection committee overrated the Big East I suppose, but everyone else has been saying those two seedings were nuts since about 7:05 on Sunday.

This is Marquette we're talking about. They played 16 games within 5 points or something nuts like that. They couldn't stand that kind of prosperity. Plus, they're in the Big East, a league whose entire mission is to annoy me today.
-
Ohio isn't any good either and yet they blew out Georgetown. To dismiss Louisville's - or really anyone else's among the top 10 seeds - chances completely seems pretty shortsighted.
-
Hey, I get to pick now? Yay! So since we have cut half our team, I have no idea what Carolina will look to do, but I'll bet on giving Matt Moore some more weapons. WalterFootball.com has us taking Mardy Gilyard from Cincinnati with this pick. That sounds good to me. So the Panthers take Mardy Gilyard.

Yeah, I still won't ever forget the run my team had to end the year either, but I can't pretend it's not stained a bit by today. As for the Big East, they SHOULD be done losing for the round, but that would depend on which Louisville team shows up tomorrow. It better be the good one because I'm already down 2 Sweet 16 teams. You picked Louisville to Sweet Sixteen? Yeah, I'm banking on Good Louisville for this weekend. I don't feel great about it - but then I didn't feel great about Butler to the Sweet 16 either and that looks alright so far. You are such a Big East homer/Duke hater. I do not hate Duke at all. I just don't think they have a team designed to go far in this tournament. As for the other thing, I'm sure no one on here is a homer for their conference at all.

Alright, I quit.

Ohio did go ape [expletive] from 3. That's kind of a fluke. Georgetown laid an egg but if Ohio had shot even above-average from 3 as opposed to unconscious, the Hoyas still would have won.
-
maybe you should stop putting mediocre teams in your Final Four. Especially mediocre teams named Notre Dame who have a knack for saving their shitty games for the biggest stages.
-
This is unreal. Ohio sucks and they are blowing Georgetown out of the [expletive] building. This'll be my 2nd Sweet 16 team down, though compared to some people that had G'Town that might actually be tame.
-
I will punch you in the face You guys have looked the most impressive out of the 4 because at least you're only losing by 2 to a bad team. Hey, we only lost by 1 to a bad team. Or something.
-
Ohio average: 7 3FG per game Ohio in 1st half: 8/16 3FG
-
Georgetown is down 7 to Ohio, who I can confirm sucks hard.
-
Plus you can make fun of the dregs of the Big East as they continue to drop one by one. Oh wait, that looks like it's happening in THE tournament too...
-
Same, and if not for my homer pick I'd have an intact Sweet 16. Ugh.
-
Dan Shanoff just posted a blog stating that today validates expanding the tournament to 96. I have no idea where he gets that idea. Would this be as fun if it was a 23 and an 18 playing for the right to face a 3 seed? What a ridiculous stance.
-
I had Duke winning the title in 2002 when Notre Dame played them in round 2 and I don't think I've ever rooted harder for the Irish to win a basketball game in my life.
-
Ha. I wish I could forget that particular pick.
-
2005 was the worst I ever did. I went completely crazy picking too many upsets (and the wrong ones), and for some reason I ended up with 4-seed Syracuse winning the title. They went out to Vermont in round 1. A horrifying performance by me. I did nail the Final Four in 2007, but I didn't get any of the three Final Four games correct so it lessened it. I won a pool in 2006 by picking UCLA to be the runner-up, the year Mason destroyed everyone's bracket and no one picked Florida.
-
Butler to the 16 in 2003 is my only contribution to the 'cool Cinderella picks'. I also had Syracuse as the runner-up in 03, which won me my pool and is still the closest I've ever come to picking the NCAA champion. :(
