Bye bye chalk

[Jaydumo20]

I don’t see Houston losing early because they are very consistent. I just don’t think they have the talent to hang with the best teams and aren’t tested. Elite 8 is about as far as they can probably go.

Early loss will depend on matchups. Some team will run into the absolute worst team for them to play. No way to know until you see the bracket. Every team is vulnerable.

This is a good take. I was having visions of no chalk in the elite 8 after this crazy weekend and crazy year. I don’t remember seeing so much upheaval in the rankings and so much up and down. But… Kansas and Houston have been the most consistent. I see the middle teams in the P5’s and majors that make it in giving everyone a run. I also envision (if it’s not us) a quite random national champion.

This is a pointless exercise. Any top team is a potential upset victim this season. A better question is how many 1 through 4 seeds survive to the second weekend. I set the over/under at 9.

I like this. I say under

I wonder if prop bets like that are available anywhere.

I've seen the Big East and Big XII teams the most, b/c HuskyHawk is no coincidence. Honestly, KU doesn't really want to face a dominant center. Houston doesn't want to face a team like Kansas. Marquette and Kansas...bet the over. Some teams can impose their will, other teams can play any style. I look at UConn as a team that now play multiple ways, making really hard for another team to impose their will.

I also think we are particularly well set up for this tourney. Also, good to know that’s where the Hawk comes from. I like talking to fans who have their feet in other conferences. I have a uconn skew.

Purdue. I just don't think they're as good as their ranking. They rely heavily on Edey and someone will shut him down. They have 2 freshmen starting at the guard positions and that's usually not a good recipe for advancing far.

Do I win anything?

If you had Kansas you win 2nd prize.

Next time you make it to the XL for the game, I will buy you a cookie. (And a beer)
