Selection Sunday-NCAA tournament thread

Damn it, New Mexico.

 

Never has my bracket been in the shitter this fast. New Mexico is only a part of it.

 

Are you trying to say letting Pressey dribble around until he either turns it over or jacks up an off-balance 25-footer isn't great coaching?

 

I wonder if this latest pants-shitting will affect how Missouri reacts to whatever comes out of the NCAA/Miami/Haith stuff this summer?

 

Just took a look at my brackets...

 

A school that has NEVER reached the Sweet 16? (Yeah, that sort of shocked me, too. They've been in the field enough years I figured they would have lucked out somewhere along the way.)

 

Eh, went 12-4, about average. Biggest surprise to me was how easily Colorado State handled Missouri. I figured Missouri would be more athletic, even enough to possibly give Louisville a run.

I wonder how well CSU will handle Louisville's press?

Is VCU that good or Akron that bad..... or both?

 

Last time Larry Eustachy had this much fun fucking around with Missouri students he had a Natty Light in one arm and blonde coed on the other.

 

The Mighty Gophers are all that stand between the Pac-12 Conference and a perfect 4-0 second-round record.

 

Don't forget the Illini, who face Colorado on Friday.

Big Ten hasn't lost yet, either.

 

I think I hate this part of the NCAA tournament more than any other, the part when people lose a single Sweet 16 team on the first day and go "WELL, THERE GOES MY BRACKET! I'M RUINED! WASTE OF $10!"

 

Word.

How can anyone's bracket be THAT bad today? There were hardly any upsets. Who could anyone have lost any Final Four's, other than fools who picked New Mexico? Are there people out there who had Pitt in their Final Four? Or Belmont? Or North Carolina A&fuckingT?

The only way I can see anyone's bracket being messed up is if you're one of the unfortunates who has your bracket in an unweighted pool. Meaning you get as many points for a first round correct prediction as you do for getting a team to the Final Four. I hate those lazy-ass pools.
