@Wodie Sloot I sent you $30 for 3 brackets, and I just noticed I've only got 2 brackets being counted. Must not have saved that 3rd bracket. Just keep the izza: for B2BC.


Unless I win. imp:

 

[anthonys735]

Nothing to do with happening today. If it's not the biggest, what is?


Cincy/St Joes is a great night cap.

I don't give a **** how good Coppin State, Middle Tennessee St. or Norfolk State are. They're 15 seeds. You're supposed to beat the piss out of them indiscriminately. It's not supposed to matter if they're a .001 or a .002 on a scale from 0-10. The bracket may as well just say RANDOM 16 SEED and RANDOM 15 seed for those two seed groups.

"They were a REALLY REALLY good 15 seed though!!!!"

FOH with that.

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

The craziest thing about MTSU/MSU, is that MTSU thumped them from the jump. Like they never trailed and it wasn't even close at the end.

I was only waiting for them to choke it up bc that's what was supposed to happen. They stepped on the throat and made big plays at the end. Ball bounced their way a couple times but that happens when you're playing hard and controlling the game. It never looked like a fluke.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

No, you idiot. Not all x-seeded teams are built alike.

Coppin Stare that year was awful, awful, awful. They had ONE win in the RPI top 200. One.

Michigan State, relative to the field, may be the best team ever to not win a game. But they lost to a decent team. MTSU had an RPI of 78. Kentucky lost like 5 games to teams rated worse than that this year. MTSU is a halfway competent team. Coppin State was atrocious.

 

[Mattox]

I'd like to know what caused all the money to hit MTSU at the last minute in Vegas. Things that make you go hmmmmmm......

 

[Wodie sloot]

It's the biggest upset ever b/c it happened this year. Everything now >>>>> everything then.

Everything 73 attends >>>> everything he doesn't

 

[anthonys735]

State is the best team to lose 1st rd. This really has nothing to do with who they played. According to Vegas and brackets MSU was one of the 2 favorites.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

It's the biggest upset ever b/c it happened this year. Everything now >>>>> everything then.

False. Even that dumb stat chart showed MSU was the best of the 2 seeds to lose.
An Upset is when something goes against expectations. And for everyone who watches Bball instead of a spreadsheet, every 15 seed is the same. Massive underdog.
But MSU was the LAST of any 1 or 2 seed ANYONE thought would lose. Yeah, do the comparison. FF team last year, POY, Izzo, etc. unreal. Biggest upset ever. Easily.

 

[Geese Feeder]

Norfolk St had an NBA big on their roster, FWIW. They could play.

Their band was dope, too.

 

[cawoodsct]

Richie over the brother at Bingham Park was a bigger upset.

Is PTI arguing with himself? I'm honestly not sure.

 

[krazykats]

Some degenerate bet $265 on MTSU to win $5300 on that mess of a game.

 

[anthonys735]

Is PTI arguing with himself? I'm honestly not sure.

That would complete his evolution.

 

[BristolCat_rivals158386]

We're all arguing about Coppin State and Middle Tennessee State and Michigan St. vs. South Carolina, meanwhile '73 is trying to figure out when to make his argument that the biggest upset of all time was the 1917 Y.M.C.A. over Boston University of Textile Science and Cotton Gin Manufacturing.

Or maybe the biggest upset of all-time was Larry Legend rising above his humble roots to become White Jesus' gift to basketball.

--PTI, MTSU had five losses by double digits to teams outside the top 100 kenpom. 15s and 16s are ******.

 

[SAECATFAN]

I'm just a friendly old BJW but the Vandy lass promised me that Duke was an Ivy League school?

Not conference affiliation, obviously. But, like, they're an Ivy League school?

 

[LadyCat92]

Yale v Duke memes - some of these are pretty spot on.

 

[wcc31]

ND-M a damn good game coming down the stretch.

 

[UK_Dallas]

Coppin St had a coach named Fang. That alone was enough to push them past the Cocks. Kermit isn't intimidating anyone.

 

[Mattox]

 

[august-west]

Baylor

Exactly

Hunter, they're towing your dad's car.

:joy:

 

[august-west]

One of the biggest differences I've noticed between the mid-majors and power 5 teams in a tight game down the stretch is the power 5 teams drive the lane for an easy bucket or a foul. The Mids almost always seem to dick finger it around the perimeter and toss up a prayer.

 

[anthonys735]

This opening round. Phenomenal. Bravo.

 

[anthonys735]

Holy ****:scream::basketball:

 

[august-west]

HOLY EFFIN **** WHAT A SHOT!!!!

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Holy ****

 

[sinker16]

GOOD IF IT GOESSSS

Northern Iowa!!!!!! :fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire:

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Biggest buzzer beater in tourney history? Distance plus upset?

 

[anthonys735]

Oh man. If you went to bed you missed 3 of the best games.


*scotch is great

 

[august-west]

The N. Iowa radio guys slapping fives was classic

 

[wcc31]

My God- can you imagine being a UC fan? Losing on a 60-footer (to go to 4OT) and a dunk buzzer beater waved off in back-to-back games.

 

[buckethead1978]

St Joes can beat Kansas

 

[MaxPowerrr]

That sucks for UC- ball was in dude's hand AND in the hoop. Oof.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Richie over the brother at Bingham Park was a bigger upset.

Yeah,except that probably never happened.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

St Joes can beat Kansas

Be a crazy Final Four game if it happens!

 

[wcc31]

St Joes can beat Kansas

Can UCONN?

 

[Mattox]

I'd almost rather Kansas beat UConn. UConn has backed into enough titles.
