Week 19 Other Games

You know it is March when Big 10 bubble teams are losing as favorites.

Bracketmatrix is just a listing of the top/most popular/etc brackets out there. Basically of all the bracketologists out there that are good or well known half have UConn as a 3 seed and half have UConn as a 4 seed.

I should have articulated it better than I did in my post for you and storrsroars. I wasn't raising my ire with the Bracketmatrix-that would be shooting the messenger. I am just flabbergasted that about 50% of the brackets and bracketologists have UConn as a 4 while, I am assuming, but correct me if I am wrong, many have Baylor as a #2. IMO, and even metrics wise, UConn should be a solid #3 seed as of this time.

Bracketmatrix is an aggregator of over 100 brackets. We have no idea when those brackets were updated. Likely many were not updated after the K-state loss. Only 13 of the 102 brackets have K-state as a 4 seed. Lets hope the people in charge watched the 1st 30 minutes of the UConn game and then changed the channel

There's a date next to each bracket that says when they were updated. The vast majority (like 80) were updated today and about 20 updated yesterday.

The 17 that didn't update today all have Baylor as a 2 and K-State as a 3. That's enough to influence the aggragate.
 
Alabama destroyed a pretty good Mississippi State team. That was a statement game.

Mizzou and Tennessee on now. We're big fans of the Tigers at the moment.

I'm enjoying the old guy battle between Key and Honor. Each one has to be mid 40's right?
 
Ohio State up double digits on MSU without Sensabaugh???? Not on my bingo card today

Would a loss here put them back on the bubble? Lunardi currently has them as a 7

I was prior to this game. Another weird niche team that plays fast, shoots amazingly and whose defense is dependent solely on causing TOs.

Watching them I can't knock the habit of naming their players' previous mid-major spots. Very impressed with Dennis Gates in his first year at the helm. Fun team to watch.
 
Mizzou is now up 3 late. I can't bring myself to root for them, but I won't be upset if the Vols lose.

Missouri actually looks really good. Tough shot makers. Wouldn’t be happy seeing them in our bracket. As a 3/6 or 2/7 matchup in the 2nd round.

Tennessee is a very different team without Zeigler.

Their best defender and their starting PG. Doubtful I'll put them past the S16 in my bracket.

Anyone watch any of the Big Ten tournament? Those are really boring games to watch and the teams do not pass the eye test. It would be one thing if the Big Ten regularly killed it in the tournament, but they flame out every year and haven't won a championship in 23 years! They are a Ponzi scheme. At some point, everyone being around .500 in the league doesn't mean they're all great, it means they're all mediocre.

Enjoying watching Calipari go nuts down to Vandy in the last minute. Hope the 'Dores hold on

The unsophisticated bettor is thrilled that Wake's final 3 covered 2.5 point spread.

I wore a suit when I placed these two hits.

If you're on Team Anti-Mediocre High-Majors when it comes to at-large bids, then root for UAB to beat FAU in the C-USA final tonight.

FAU is a no-brainer at large pick while UAB is a super exciting team to watch led by dynamic guard Jelly Walker. With the 5th most experienced team in D1, but at just 51.0% roster continuity, it took some time for UAB to "jel" but they're 12-1 in their last 13.
 
I’ll be interested to see how Kansas plays vs Texas today. They looked terrible in the game a week ago.

A&M gets Vandy, which should put them in the final. They are trending up.

Big Ten only really has two good teams, IU and Purdue and tournament shows that. I’m going to pick all the others to lose early in the NCAAs.
