    Worst March Madness in quite some time

    It probably was. I just think the popularity of filling out brackets will stop it from happening.

    There has to footage of the Boozer’s father when that game….

    Glad you posted that. Honestly disturbed me seeing him waving goodbye after the win over SJU. Couldn’t believe the total lack of class from someone who should know better.

    Does anyone remember the game-winner Laettner hit against UConn earlier in his career?

    You can never re-seed because filling out brackets is too big a part of what makes the event special.

    UConn’s going to win it again.

    It would be surprising for them to win it.

    Next years team will not be any good....

    I’d say it’s more likely than not that we’ll be good. Having a hard time believing we’ll be great. Pope can coach. Even if his budget gets limited, I could see him putting together his kind of team and still being a scrappy upstart. Can he have a big budget and build an elite team that...

    Here come the refs

    So they steal 2 points not calling goal tend, then steal 2 more because Dixon complained. 7 becomes 11 just like that.

    Cam Boozer: Just doesn’t foul

    Duke is pretty amazing at playing aggressive defense and never fouling. One foul all half and that was an offensive rebound.

    Aberdeen's dunk at the end was "bush league" according to Tim Brando

    Correct. 5 point game. If Santa Clara fouls and puts DA on the line, still a chance to cover with a DA miss and one more SC basket.

    Aberdeen's dunk at the end was "bush league" according to Tim Brando

    Yeah that’s where I was going next. Line was -2.5 to -3.5. If you bet Santa Clara, you are hoping for quick foul, missed free throws, and a meaningless make at the buzzer. Brando might be telling on himself.

    Aberdeen's dunk at the end was "bush league" according to Tim Brando

    It was a nonsensical take from Brando. Game wasn’t over and we were only up 5. Pull that back out and you could turn it over. You could get fouled and miss free throws. Stretching it to 3 possessions is completely fine there.

    Aike’s Model Current Tourney Odds

    If you had used this list this year, you would have gotten 27 first round games right, and your entire Sweet 16 would still be intact. Could all fall apart this weekend, but pretty strong start.

    Aike’s Model Current Tourney Odds

    I would have Iowa St favored by around 4 points. If their best player is out, that could draw it closer. A challenge, but not insurmountable.
