[Heroin Bob]

pitt playing like garbage atm

[PaulOakenfold]

Holy shit the Sienna AND Wisc OT games playing at the same time a little bit ago pretty much gave me a heart attack.

[PaulOakenfold]

Fun Fact: Out of the 10 million brackets on ESPN.com, after these two games, no one has a perfect bracket.

Edit:

that was a great ending, this round was redeemed by that set of four games alone

conference argument stadium

pretournament expected first-round yield for conferences with multiple bids:

BE: 1,1,1,3,3,6,6: 1 + 1 + 1 + .844 + .844 + .690 + .690 = 6.068 (actual 6-1)
ACC: 1,2,4,5,7,7,10: 1 + .958 + .779 + .701 + .630 + .630 + .370 = 5.068 (actual 3-4)
B12: 2,3,3,7,8,9: .958 + .844 + .844 + .630 + .496 + .504 = 4.276 (actual 6-0)
B10: 2,5,5,8,10,10,12: .958 + .701 + .701 + .496 + .370 + .370 + .293 = 3.889 (Actual 4-3)
P10: 4,6,6,7,10,12: .779 + .690 + .690 + .630 + .370 + .293 = 3.452 (actual 5-1)
A10: 4,11,11: .701 + .310 + .310 = 1.321 (actual 2-1)
SEC: 8,9,13: .496 + .504 + .221 = 1.221 (actual 1-2)
Hor: 9,13: .504 + .221 = .725 (actual 1-1)
MWC: 5,8: .701 + .496 = 1.197 (actual 0-2)

What this means?

Pac 10 and Big 12 overperformed. Big East is who we thought they were. ACC and MWC were overrated.

attn: 404

I see a man in the crowd at the Wachovia Center that looks like what I imagine you look like. Is this you? (y/n)

also UW plays Purdue today. I like that matchup for Washington. Then next week its fucking UConn and dtf's stupid shit talking spit hole.

[Summa]

well my bracket is severely fucked, I am rooting for upsets galore now just so everyone else gets fucked as well and I have a chance.


on a side note: GO WISCONSIN!!!!!! and fuck you jam and prock, we made it further than OSU

[DoTheFandango]

UConn is going to THUMP Washington.

[Squeezer]

If UW can even get past Purdue. Four point game right now. My heart is a thumping.

And the third on Brockman...sigh

[PaulOakenfold]

Had Purdue beating Wash in my bracket only because I didn't get a chance to see them play this season, but for some reason they showed a couple of Big 10 games around here, and Purdue was dominant.

Brockman is ridiculous though.

[PaulOakenfold]

Let's go Texas. This is the only time I will root for anything coming out of your state.

[404 Not Found]

Watching Nova hand Duke their ass was an ejoyable TV event.

[PaulOakenfold]

Damn Mizzou is really scary.

[Squeezer]

GG pitt.

UConn vs. UNC. Set it in stone.

[paradise!]

GG pitt.

UConn vs. UNC. Set it in stone.

Thabeet taking this tournament into his own hands. Hansborough won't be able to match up, kid is straight pussy.

BTW, to everyone thinking Hansborough will be good in the NBA, kill yourself, this kid will get absolutely rocked.

[the_paul]

Pretty sure UNC just won in convincing fashion even though Hansbrough didn't really show up.

By the way, talk shit all you want, but Tyler's stats speak for themselves. You need 1 award won in 4 years to have your jersey retired at UNC. He won all 6, in the same year. Like him, dislike him, who cares, you'd be an idiot to not respect him though.

[genocidal]

I hate Hansbrough more than most people probably, being a Duke fan, but I do respect him. He's had one of the best college careers ever and to think he's not going to show up to the Final Four is silly. UNC has plenty of firepower without him but look at the dude - intensity is one of the few things he's got going for him.
