  • it would be really funny if Valentine returned to MSU. He likely signed with an agent before his post game shower.

        That's what's so funny!
        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          • Wow. That push in the back no-call at the end the Iowa game was so blatant. Textbook arms extended, advantage gained push off.

              On the bright side, my lack of free time this winter has lead to me watching a lot less basketball (other than BYU) and leading in my company's bracket challenge. There is a correlation, guys. Which is why the favorite -mascot girl does every bit as well as the soda-sucking advanced metrics guy.

              • The Big 10 is trying to beat the Pac 10 for the most overrated conference this year.

                The ACC has looked incredible.
                Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                    I don't know if they've done it all year, but they seem to like to turn the ball over. Both teams are in the low 30s for FG% so far.

                      • West Virginia plays like those Arkansas teams of the early 90s. SF Austin has a player that looks like Oliver Miller.

                        • I only caught the last 10 minutes or so but that SFA team was a lot of fun to watch. Handled the press extremely well and made very few mistakes.

                            • SFA

                              Today has been fun. This first round has been much better than last year. Lots of close games and some big upsets.

                                From ESPN:
                                Last year, one bracket (out of 11.57 million) remained perfect after the round of 64, the first time there was a perfect first round in ESPN's Tournament Challenge since at least 2010.

                                Through the first 24 games of this year’s tournament, 11 lower-seeded teams have won, with the biggest upset being No. 15 seed Middle Tennessee over No. 2 seed Michigan State. Thus, an all-chalk bracket has gone just 13-11, which would rank in the 11th percentile. Last year after the round of 64, an all-chalk bracket netted a 27-5 record, good for the 98.7th percentile.

                                On the other end of the spectrum (bracket futility), three brackets have tabbed only two correct picks (there are no longer any winless brackets).
