NCAA Day 2 Running Thread

Indiana's last 10 trips to the tourney have been coached by an aging legend who hasnt got out of the first round in 10 years and an overmatched, oversized egoist who's now finding ways to have his new mid-major lose.\

Different Indiana team, different result -- at least for this round.

 

I had Georgia Tech making a monster run and landing in the regional final. Stupid me.

 

FH: Aren't there like 32 million VT alumni in Fairfax County alone? Someone told me that's why they go balls-out for the VT coverage.

 

27/32, ninety-fifth percentile ;D and 15 of my Sweet 16 is still alive (damn you, Old Dominion!). Tied for second in my pool with a high school boys' hoop coach who's the leading scorer in his college's history, one game up on a former national women's college coach of the year. (No, we're not playing for money --- we named the Yahoo league in honor of a friend who died of cancer.)

Needless to say, I expect to go into the outhouse today and tomorrow. :'(

 

This Curry has no stop light.

Anything from 28 feet....it's going up.

 

Five higher seeds win, two non-No. 9's. Naturally, this was the year I picked all 8 No. 8's to win.

Only six games ended with a spread of six points or less. <blue>The need to blow up the tournament, reassess where they're at and get it back to where it's relevant and compelling again.</blue>

If 2much is to be believed (and I have no reason he's not), then "Picking The Favorites" is in the 95th percentile.

FH: That last paragraph your friend wrote was better than anything in Simmons' running Day 1 blog, and I like Simmons.

TSP: We should do that survivor pool on here next year. Sounds like fun.

 

Satch: I have Nevada in the Final Four (beating Tennessee in the regional final) and Vandy in the Sweet 16. So much for picking the favorites.

 

USC 128, Texas 74. At least that's what I hope the score is. Wait, it's what the score will be.

Then, USC 99, North Cackalackee 88.

 

Tennessee just scored again.
