Voltaire 4,559 Posted March 19, 2015 C'mon fellas. I submitted a bracket and I know next to nothing about college BB since I moved overseas. I don't even catch highlights on Sportscenter since I don't have access to Sportscenter. I just picked Kentucky because I heard they were really good and then a bunch of teams from Real America™ to beat teams from the inferior regions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,205 Posted March 19, 2015 cyclone24 suicide watch is on -- #3 Iowa State loses to #14 UAB. Also I had them going to the Elite 8. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,992 Posted March 19, 2015 Baylor - WTF?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 3,455 Posted March 20, 2015 Baylor - WTF?? Baylor is ion the Big 12, and the only other conference that might be more ovverated is the Big 10, not entirely shocked that they lost I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,992 Posted March 20, 2015 I didn't watch a single game this year, least not an entire whole game.... Just checked our office standings - I'm in 2nd with the most available points still... Ignorance is truly bliss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,559 Posted March 22, 2015 Lots of bonus points for picking Baylor to lose. I'm use to being in first place and winning in these Geek competitions only in this case, I can't believe it because I don't know squat about college basketball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted March 22, 2015 Three Yahoo brackets...naturally the one that is clean is not the one in this pool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,205 Posted March 22, 2015 Dayum, I knew Villanova and Virginia were pretenders, I should have stuck with my gut and had neither of them in the Elite 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,205 Posted March 23, 2015 Pac-12 finally lost (Oregon to Wisconsin). 4 teams in the tourney, 7-1, 3 moving on to the Sweet 16. You east coast bias phaggots will never learn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted March 23, 2015 So the Pac-12 has a good tournament once every 5 years and that proves that they are great? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted March 23, 2015 2014 - one elite eight team (Arizona), zero final four 2013 - zero elite eight teams 2012 - zero elite eight teams 2011 - one elite eight team (Arizona), zero final four 2010 - zero elite eight teams 2009 - zero elite eight teams 2008 - one elite eight team/final four team (UCLA) So basically the last time the Pac-12 managed a national semifinalist was 2008, and in the 6 tournaments since the best they have managed is two elite eight appearances, both by the same school. I am not quite sure what east coast people were supposed to have learned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not quite sure what east coast people were supposed to have learned. Well, one might argue that the east coast bias consistently gives the PAC-12 lower seeds (other than Arizona), thus making their path more difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magnificent Bastard 190 Posted March 23, 2015 The NCAA is considering making freshman inelligible to play. I would want these thugs/morons that are only in college to play sports off campus as soon as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted March 23, 2015 Well, one might argue that the east coast bias consistently gives the PAC-12 lower seeds (other than Arizona), thus making their path more difficult. Well, if we just use RPI to get a rough idea of what a 'fair' seed is (since the computers if nothing else are incapable of a regional bias), since 2011 one Pac-12 team was underseeded (Arizona in 2013) and three were overseeded.

RLLD 3,455 Posted March 23, 2015 Spartans have gotten underseeded the past two years. Problem is it sucks more for Virginia than it does for them Spartans likely were underseeded, due to their early struggles, but they have come on of late for sure, they were mostly lucky that Justin Anderson was not 100%. They were even more lucky when nova got beat, but Louisville is still out there, and will not lose to NC State, nor to Mich St. In the end the Spartans are still from the Big 10 and their travel does find them playing the same level talent as exists in the ACC. I expect them to beat Oklahoma, perhaps in OT, but no way can they defeat a team like Louisville. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
