Really thought SFA was going to pull it off tonight. REALLY hoping SDSU does.
Hate to break it to you but they lost to Ohio State at 4:00
SDSU = San Diego State University....and they almost freakin did. That last minute was bonkers crazy.

Rob Gray > Trae Young

I know..

For some reason, I picked Arizona in one of my brackets

No matter how many years in a row Arizona can underachieve in the tournament, I will still fall for them.

I will pay Sean Miller $100k if he gets upset by Buffalo

Holy sht....it's happening. Buffalo up by 10

Despite being a 4 seed, Arizona was the 8th biggest favorite to win it all. Lot of time left, but even if they win, this doesn't exactly breed confidence.

Zona at serious risk of getting blown out of the Gem State

LOL it's the only decent location in the entire conference

Arizona is done...goddamn. They have to be one of the most underachieving teams in the last 10 years, right?

Postby **RonnieFranchise** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 11:35 pm

Sean Miller gonna get fired for cause: losing to the MAC

UB is within stumbling distance of the original Duff's Famous Wings. Winner.

I always stay at the Homewood on Millersport Hwy. You can smell the stale grease from the entrance. Ahhhhh......

Well, there have been 26 13-4 upsets in the last 30 years of the tourney. The last one? Hawaii over California in 2016 (didn't remember it, not gonna lie). So, this keeps it close to the 1 per year average. 2008 was the last year with two 13-4 upsets (Siena over Vandy, San Diego over UConn). Bradley over Kansas was in 2006...that I do remember.

Postby **RonnieFranchise** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 11:53 pm

I can't imagine there has previously been a 13 over a 4 by (around) 25 points, however.

Postby **shafnutz05** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 11:54 pm

And while we are talking about upsets, the Bucknell-Kansas 14-3 upset in 2005 was so good. I have driven by Bucknell on US-15 so many times...inconceivable that a school like that could beat a team like Kansas.

So let me get this straight.

-- The Pac-12 got three teams in the NCAA tournament.
-- Two didn't make it out of Dayton.
-- Their champ is about to lose by 25 to Buffalo.

Nope, that's rare.

The one time I won a bracket pool (in 2008), there were about 400 entries. You know how I won? Picking all four 1-seeds to make it to the Final Four, and then I happened to get them right (thank you so much Mario Chalmers). I feel like that's your best chance to win ultimately.

This kills my bracket, which had zona to the final 4 but I love it

Sean Miller is about to be out of a job and Nate Oats should be up high on Pitt's list. Dude can coach. That extension he signed last week pays him like $500k a year. Chump change for a Power 6 school

Postby **Orlando Penguin** » Fri Mar 16, 2018 1:03 am

Nobody gets less out of more than Sean Miller. He'd be perfect to revive Pitt.

USC must have been crapping themselves at making the tourney while Colgate was hanging in the Patriot championship game.

Love Ed Cooley and I get that the competition is tough but God Damnit could we please be prepared for the tournament just one time
