Would love to see a 15 seed win today!
There's especially one in particular...
March 16th, 2018 at 12:14 PM ^
when I don't do brackets (gimme chaos), I'm down for cheering for one and only one B1G team today. My old neighbor played at PU in the late 80s/90s and was the "guy you love to hate" who ended up playing in the NBA for awhile. Nicest guy in the world so Boiler Up!

Penn State and Nebraska were bad, too. That's an experiment the conference needs to never repeat.
March 16th, 2018 at 12:15 PM ^
I think Providence - Texas A&M will be a tight game, I had trouble picking. The winner of this likely plays UNC next...... who would potentially be our next opponent, obviously

all look alike...

my only good pick has been loyola over miami. thought for sure oklahoma would beat URI

Providence is running the same offense we ran in high school.
"This game is setting basketball back 40 years" isn't necessarily a bad thing.
March 16th, 2018 at 12:47 PM ^
Miami and Arizona are off my bracket.
March 16th, 2018 at 12:47 PM ^
March 16th, 2018 at 12:48 PM ^
Could Providence beat North Carolina?

Maybe Fullerton didn't pay for the upgrade.
If you're referring to the games where Michigan kept having to do jersey swaps, those were Adidas.
Thinking about all those NBA tears at the beginning of the season.
Forgot about those. :-)
Looks like the refs are continuing with calling a foul on every drive to the hoop today.
Bracket is in the top 10% after yesterday, but the majority of my picks today are upsets....wish me luck (#needchaos):
- Providence
- Butler
- College of Charleston
- Texas
- Syracuse
- Marshall
- Kansas State
I too have College of Charleston over Auburn. The Tigers just haven't impressed lately.
I think Purdue goes out rather early. Painter has had some really good teams but never seems to get it done in March.
thanks Delaney. Purdue seems to have a better handle now, but the time off shows
Am I the only one who thinks Harrms from Purdue looks like Ivan Drago?
Is there at least one 12 beating a 5 every year?
Doubtful. Buffalo already made it happen though.
Good news is that the B10 teams were high seeds and avoided a quality 11/12 team, or we might have two out already, and with Purdue in some trouble. Geez
I’d say the conference is in fine shape.
It helps that all the not-so-good teams were left off the bubble. The only conference I'd expect to do as well percentage-wise is the WCC.
See - PAC12.
Purdue won by 26 and Michigan by 14. Only OSU can be said to have truly struggled, and they still won.
That doesn't bode well for Sparty, which it usually doesn't when they step out of B1G officiating.
Guarantee Sparty is allowed to bulldoze like they always are. It's bullshit the double standard where they're allowed to play their style but other teams (us) get ticky tack shit called because we are known to AVOID fouling and aren't over aggressive.
