Running 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Thread

Lol. Talk about getting shit from people: For years their only national title in any sport was in women’s bowling and one of my buddies who played baseball at Jacksonville State in Alabama would see me in Vandy apparel and say, “When are you getting the women’s bowling shirt?”

Thank god for Tim Corbin.

 

I remember it well, because 1993 was the first year I filled out a bracket. And, not really knowing much, I picked Santa Clara to win that game based on nothing more than a gut feeling. One of the few times I've had the nads to actually pick a 15-2 upset.

 

While watching FDU-Texas Southern last night, I learned FDU raised a First Four win banner (from 2019) to go alongside their national championship banners for women's bowling and women's fencing. It's going to be hard to top that as the most random/amusing anecdote of the tournament.

 

LOL Iowa. Easiest bet every year.

 

Can "Martingale" them every year. Bet heavy -- and then, if they win, double up two days later.

 

Tonight's parlay was a piece of cake: Auburn and Northwestern ML. Betting against Iowa and a Mountain West team? Cash money.

 

Take out the COVID year and McCaffrey has never made the Sweet 16 in 12 seasons there, and only been past the first round four times.

 

I could have sworn he got to the S16 w/Siena, but he didn't. So he's been to the NCAAs w/four schools, which is good. And he's never seen the second weekend in 11 tries, which is bad.

 

Houston is in a dogfight with Northern Kentucky. Only up 30-27 at the half and it looks like Sasser might be done for the night.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I was sucked into Louisiana/Tennessee.

 

Snuck in a Tennessee -10.5 midway through the first half. They’re not going to be outscored by four the rest of the way, right?
