WOAT first weekend I can remember and not even close. I was willing to give first round a D, but weekend as a whole gets an F.

Hopefully next weekend delivers

If you thought the games were bad, you should see this post-game.

Had to look it up but 2009 comparison is darn accurate, though it had more close early round games. Also, only 2 of the S16 games that year ended less than double digit margins and only two games reasonably close after that. Yeesh.

Another byproduct of the boring results so far is every amateur bracket filler in every office across the country will be talking about how ‘their’ 1/2/3 seed won and how they just knew a team they’ve never watched or happened to hear about once from an ESPN ‘expert’ would be there. At least when there are upsets that’s mitigated a bit.

Welcome to March!

Yeah, someone on a basketball board I go to posted, "I have 15/16 correct. How are guys doing?"

I let him know that my friend's kid has gotten almost everything right, so...congrats?

yep. current leader in our pool is a guys wife who asked "what do the little numbers mean" and he said "usually the lower one is the better team" so she just rolled with that and has 15/16 left

I'm still steaming about UCF not blocking them out on that free throw.

So people who pick high seeds are a joke? Like I don’t get the rationale here. If you pick long shots, sometimes you’ll look like a genius but most years you’re gonna look dumb. I don’t think people who went chalk are smart but seems like picking the better team most of the time is a winning formula.

The only clear ranks that were over seeded were due to injury/suspensions like KSU or KU and they of course lost. But most people thought KU sucked. Wisconsin despite being a 5 was a slight dog on my books to a 12 seed. Favorites won. There have been other years like this, specifically 2009. Years like this happen. I guess once in a while the seeders get things mostly right.

Now we have arguably 14 of the best teams left and it should be a ****show of great teams. Maybe we will get 2009 where 1 team rolls everyone but I don’t see a giant gap between the top 8ish teams. It’s almost roshambo for teams like duke, unc, uva, Michigan, msu, Purdue.

There’s still at least one public perfect bracket after 48 games out there. Just need to hit 13 more games.

Gonzaga vs UK is their final with the zags winning it

Kenpom 1-14 are all alive. LSU is 18 and Oregon is 29.

So we’ve had similar results in 2009 and 2007 but the mov is higher this year than anywhere in this graphs range

I'm in...had the coogs picked as one of my Final Four.

I spent a semester there the season after Phi Slamma Jamma...it is hard to energize the student body of a commuter school, but they had what looked like a tailgate watch party going on Saturday when I was going past the campus.

I'm all for Houston winning. At the moment I'm not planning on taking Kentucky in my survivor pool Friday. Probably Michigan State.
