March Madness 2017

Princeton taking ND to the wire.

Yeah they did. But my Irish pulled through. Now they can go lose to W.Virginia.

I thought you were Scottish.

Scotch-Irish. A Catholic/Protestant by-product.

UNC within 3 of UVA......

I would think if you were Scottish you'd know it's Scot not...

Seahawks just threw it away.

Meh...slip of the tongue.

[Ibanez]

Close game...very close.

[Ibanez]

2 games down and still have a perfect bracket.

LET'S GO WINTHROP!!!!!

[SuperHornet]

My bracket was busted on WED. How the heck did UNC-Central fail to beat the Manure Pile?!?

We're discussing the real tournament here Sparky.

[Gil Dobie]

Perfect record on the ESPN bracket challenge.

May be my last chance to say that.

It's just NC Central, not UNC Central.

North Dakota making things interesting…

OK, not anymore.

Vandy's blunder is my only blemish from day 1.

[Ibanez]

Middle Tenn. State screwed up my perfect bracket...

[bluehenbillk]

15-1, missed Xavier. I blame Andy.

UNC will be a final four team. They're having a discipline hiccup right now but they'll get through UK and/or UCLA

I called into sports radio WFAN(NY) and made a prediction of a DUKE&GONZAGA final with Gonzaga finally winning it all the expense of the big boys.

It's just NC Central, not UNC Central.

My Eagles panicked and then started tossing up 3s which was their weak link and it got them exposed of course.Plus the fact they lacked a strong low post presence.

Probably should have blamed me. I'm the one with a kid there. MSM and UM lost within 30 minutes of each other. One was not a surprise, although it would have been nice to keep the first half scare going a little longer. The other wasn't really a surprise for somebody who watched a lot of Terp games this year. They were a paper tiger.

A Big Sky or Big West fan would have understood that, Mark.

The Manure Pile is UC Davis, largely because they cheat by leaving a pile of manure outside the visitor's locker room. You can't function when that cr@p gets in your lungs....

[SuperHornet]

Who is fan of play in games????

I'm OK with them as long if they didn't count as a NCAAT win. Their opponent's seed is not worthy of their seed.

That was certainly true in the days of ONLY 16A-vs.-16B play-in games. Now we have these crazy 11A-vs.-11B play-in games. I have no idea how THAT fits into the "play-in game isn't really a tournament-game" paradigm, particularly with your last statement, Flaggy.

That confusion is one reason I'm dead set AGAINST play-in games. Byes for the ones and twos are one thing. But if you only have a few outliers, those are play-in games, and those are dumb....
