The Official Tourney Thread

Butler gets a lot of good shots. They move the ball well and make quick decisions on offense. Even a broken possession seems to result in at least a decent look.
 
But there have been some years where a 12 seed never wins. I figured this could be one of those years. and middle tenn. seems to be the team that is super overhyped for the upset going in, but loses. There is always THAT team, every year, that mid major team that everyone thinks will win but does not. Middle Tenn IMO.

I actually thought Princeton had the best shot of all the 12s. Picked them in a few of the pools I am in and they sure did come close!
 
Minnesota has flipped to a dog in that game. I like the Middle Tennessee State upset pick as much as anyone, but it would be an UPSET if MTSU won. They should not be favored.
 
Why do 16 seeds always seem to miss at least 2 or 3 easy lay ins in close games vs 1 seeds in the 2nd half?

Cue Zags run.

I know. Those were painful. They could have gotten it down to 5 with the momentum.

Ugh and these freakin' commercials. Damn they are so stupid, do they get worse every year? They have a steady rotation of the same 10 or 12 horrible ones. Mute. mute. mute.
 
I apparently also picked EAST Tennessee over Florida

Minnesota vs Middle Tenn just has the classic recipe of really good midmajor vs meh overrated P5 team. Which of course means it probably won't happen
 
There's nothing worse than these NCAA floors they install at every site. Same bland feel to each game.

check your keyboard.

Re-checked some of the pools I am in, I did have Mid Tenn in a few actually. 5/12 can be a toss up actually and notice how I did say COULD. Reading comprehension is good!

You said it could be a year where no 12 beats a 5. I was talking about your opinion that MTSU is the over-rated hyped mid-major that ends up losing. Not sure how checking my keyboard would have cleared up something that I actually missed. Vocabulary is good!

Derp
 
Try talking like an adult (re: derp?) God, are you 12?

Did not realize people having differing opinions from your own was so hard for you to deal with. Thank goodness for ignore.

I think they're an improvement to the bland black and blue courts they had for years. Also each court has a different color trim:D
 
Pitino Jr is a big an idiot as his father
Minnesota couldn't beat Middle Tennessee 1 game out of 10
Middle Tennessee is a really good team whose starting 5 could play with most anyone
Minnesota has improved this year but they aren't the smartest team and rather undisciplined - overrated for a 5 seed

Not impressed with young Richard Pitino as a coach, will have to scratch him off the list of candidates for Ollies job.
 
Hard to believe this is Northwestern's 1st ever NCAA tourney. How does a B1G school go all those decades with that much futility?

NW never really cared about hoops until a few years ago.

I'd guess admissions was part of it.

Vandy intentionally fouls up 1. Unreal.

Poor kid will never live that down.
