I'm convinced Syracuse is a fraud for a 1 seed. Even more convinced this morning. They have been completely exposed over the last 2 weeks. There's no way they deserve anything better than a 2 seed at this point, and I think they are playing like a 4-5.

Probably the NIT for us after today's tourney loss.

On vacation, so I'm bowing out of my usual brackets.
And, haha OSU.

Hope you picked Dayton. Nope I'm out. Like half the world. If Dayton didn't do it, Harvard would have.

Got Harvard, missed Dayton. Doesn't matter anyway. Was filling out my billionbracket last night, taking my sweet time because the deadline was Thursday and hit submit at 9:59pm Pacific... got back registration closed. Not a huge deal since I didn't send myself the perfect bracket from the future and had to guess this year. I must have done that next year for the second annual billion dollar bracket promotion.

You realize how impossible the perfect bracket truly is in the first day.

Illinois is going to round 2 of the NIT. They even did it on the road because they demolished all of the entrance ramps to the Assembly Hall last week as part of the renovations. That is the only tournament results I really care about at this juncture. Heh.

More like 40-something-th. The team that wins the NIT will likely be a better team than many of the bottom-seeded automatic qualifiers.

Georgia won in the NIT as well, meaning this season won't freaking end.

And now you have to write more stipend checks.

I was hoping that some granny would win and admit that she picked teams based on the mascot.

And a 3 seed, and a 6 seed, and 7 seed

It's a weak year for top seeds around the country, and that was well known going into this. There's very few dominating teams this season.

#5 seeds are what, theoretically #17-#20ish ranked teams? 5-12 upsets shouldn't really surprise us that much, teams in that range have clear weaknesses usually.

The SEC is suddenly showing up as a basketball conference.
If more than Florida makes it to the Final Four I'm going to laugh.

Good win for Arizona last night and overall a good showing for the PAC12 so far. The SportsCenter highlights for our games are hilarious. You'd think every Arizona game just consisted of Nick Johnson and Aaron Gordon dunks.

Arizona so far has been waltzing through their draw, which is to be expected. For them and Florida, I don't see any stumbling blocks until the 8, and Florida may not have any until the Final 4.
I really dislike how the brackets were laid out this year. Too many great teams in the Midwest and East, too many weak ass pretenders in the South. Florida's bracket is going to have a 10/11 in the elite 8. That's ridiculous.

Arizona won, which is good because losing that game would have knocked the Pac-12 out before the Elite 8, and I would have mocked you roundly for making me question my normal "I don't pay attention to that conference" attitude towards their basketball. 6 teams in, one team left. There's still time. If Arizona plays remotely like that against Wisconsin, that will be the end of the road. The Badgers are playing well right now. I fully expect Louisville to beat Kentucky, although that game could go down to the last ticks. Tennessee's luck has to run out at some point, they just aren't that good. Iowa State and UCONN will be the game nobody watches because nobody outside those schools cares. Michigan State better beat Virginia, since I don't like the ACC, and I would like to see them bust out before the 8 as well.

Yeah, depends which Kentucky team shows up. If they decide to play defense Louisville will have their work cut out for them.

There's one thing that makes me believe in Louisville more than Kentucky. I know Louisville will play defense.

I'd say there's about a 70% chance U of L will win.
This is a rivalry game. That probably helps U of L more since most of those players have experienced the rivalry multiple times and may harbor a little more animosity to fuel their play.

Hell of a game by Kentucky. That bracket is fucking wacked out hard.
