Me

I always enjoy dull Thursdays. It must make higher seeds playing Friday freak out.

 

I'm 11-5, but didn't lose any Sweet 16 teams. Leaders in my pool have 176 points remaining. I have 174. I'll take it, considering I've followed MCBB so sparingly this season.

 

14-2, but I lost an 8 (Nevada) and a 16 (Seton Hall).

 

Odds are good that if Murray St. had not beaten Belmont in the OVC championship the Racers would not have been in the dance.

That would have been a shame.

 

Ja Morant - No. 2 pick in the draft after Zion.

 

I'll buy that.

 

It's been more than a decade since I was in a bracket pool, so I'm not clear on the scoring system(s) most widely in use.

But my rule of thumb always was, "Game doesn't really start until you lose a Final Four team."

 

I am a big Scott Van Pelt fan, but his over the top fanboy antics calling the Maryland Belmont highlights on SportsCenter last night were pathetic.

 

I'm still in awe of the Smith kid from Maryland baptizing the kid from Belmont last night.
Good Lord, that was a dunk.

 

Someone else under the impression there's a joint men's/women's basketball record book. I don't dare reply to this post in public, but this is why we have this forum!
