I hope Michigan v. Tulsa turns out to be a good game tonight

I don't.

At the top of the most recent Bill Simmons podcast, Chuck Klosterman describes Grayson Allen as if JJ Redick and Hope Solo had a child that was adopted by Montgomery Burns. (And this is part of the reason he likes him.)

Young Scrappy, everybody.

As someone with a long history of hating Duke players he has to be the one I hate the most. Out of all the players, Laettner, Wojciechowski, Battier, Jay Williams, Hurley, Reddick, etc. I find myself saying constantly, man that dude is a total asshole.

edit: he is good though

Still pissed they let these two teams in instead of my Monmouth squad....

Instead I will be in our Arena watching us play Bucknell tonight.

You've got a bigger beef with Syracuse and Vandy than you do with Michigan.

Even K thinks Grayson is an asshole.

 

[Sanjuro]

Any good places for bracket roundups?

I know nothing other than PC is the GOAT.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Michigan signee Xavier Simpson was just named Mr basketball in the state of Ohio. It will be very nice to have a back up PG again next year.

I didn't get the Grayson hate until last week when he did that idiot technical against State and had this smarmy look on his face afterwards.

I get it now.

That reminds me, when are you going to pick a real school to pull for?

THEYRE REAL TO ME, DAMNIT!

Go Tulsa. AAC AAC AAC

Why do I need flash to watch a CBB tourney game online in 2016. Why. WHY!

I probably made this same post last year.

I refuse to install Flash on my modern laptop.

Slumming it with dual laptops using the 6 year old champ. Life is hard.

 

[StriKeVillain]

I just hope Temple doesn't get embarrassed. That's all I ask for.

 

[NightOnyx]

Tulsa/Michigan going down to the wire.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Is that Frank Haith coaching Tulsa? Enjoy your sanctions.

 

[NightOnyx]

Ball game. Michigan clutch at the end.

 

[Corran Horn]

boom, go blue.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Not pretty but it rarely is with UM. I have a feeling we are going to bring the rain against the Irish though.

 

[thefro]

My upset special looking at the bracket is N. Iowa over Texas

It's in Oklahoma and Oklahoma/A&M are both at the same site.

Texas will obviously have some fans there but it's going to be a hostile crowd with Oklahoma & Texas A&M fans rooting against them.

 

[darkside31337]

Got Wichita State and Kentucky in my final 4. Feeling good.

But picked Oklahoma going all the way. Buddy 2016.

 

[Violence Jack]

Potential round 1 upsets:

-South Dakota State over Maryland

-Wichita State over Arizona

-Yale over Baylor

-NIU over Texas

-Gonzaga over Seton Hall

-Arkansas Little-Rock over Purdue

-Stephen F Austin over West Virginia (only because WV has trouble scoring, and the SFA coach was a Bob Huggins assistant for a few years.

-Michigan over Notre Dame

And I'm going back and forth between Iona and Iowa State

Just hopped into GAF's Yahoo bracket. Does it no longer have a password? It didn't prompt me for one.

Thursday, March 17 (First Round)

No. 4 Duke vs. No. 13 UNCW, noon, CBS - Duke's had some bad breaks at the end of this season...huge upset potential here.

No. 8 Texas Tech vs. No. 9 Butler, 12:30 p.m., truTV - Will be close but I think Butler takes it.

No. 8 Colorado vs. No. 9 Connecticut, 1 p.m., TNT - Another good one, but UConn has the tourney experience so I give them the slight edge.

No. 4 Iowa State vs. No. 14 Iona, 1:30 p.m., TBS Iona might be a good upset pick but I'm taking ISU.

No. 5 Baylor vs. No. 12 Yale, 2:30 p.m., CBS - The Ivy League has done well in the tourney the last few years. Picking Yale for the upset.

No. 1 Virginia vs. No. 16 Hampton 3 p.m., truTV - Duh.

No. 1 Kansas vs. No. 16 Austin Peay, 3:50 p.m., TNT - Also duh.

No. 5 Purdue vs. No. 12 Arkansas-Little Rock, 4:20 p.m., TBS Arkansas-Little Rock is in their first tourney, has a great story, so I'm picking them for the upset.

No. 3 Miami vs. No. 14 Buffalo, 6:45 p.m., TNT - Miami is way too good. They should have gotten the #2 over Nova.

No. 5 Indiana vs. No. 12 Chattanooga, 7 p.m., CBS - Indiana should take this relatively handily.

No. 1 North Carolina vs. No. 16 FGCU 7:15 p.m., TBS FGSU will give UNC a scare, but the Tar Heels will pull it out.

No. 3 Utah vs. No. 14 Fresno State, 7:15 p.m., truTV Utah is the weakest #3 in the field by far, but Fresno is pretty terrible.

No. 6 Arizona vs. No. 11 Wichita State winner, 9:15 p.m., TNT - Arizona is way too overrated, and Wichita State has momentum. Throw up the Shockers!

No. 4 Kentucky vs. No. 13 Stony Brook, 9:30 p.m., CBS - Good for Stony Brook to make it! Too bad Kentucky is way too good.

No. 8 USC vs. No. 9 Providence, 9:45 p.m., TBS - Providence always is a tough out in the higher seeds come tournament time so expect them to win here.

No. 6 Seton Hall vs. No. 11 Gonzaga, 9:55 p.m., truTV - Easily the best game today. Both teams are red hot and coming off huge wins. Seton Hall is my pick but it will be close.

My picks.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Duke losing the first game of the real NCAA Tournament fits too perfectly.

Yall can have your annual national "Fuck Duke" holiday on top of St. Paddy's

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Grover, I just noticed your avatar.

Why is Cam Newton wearing a ram head with UNC on it. I'm assuming it's an avatar bet. Followup question: what is your mental deficiency that compels you to always be involved in avatar bets.

I'll hang up and listen.

A) There are some sick, twisted, deranged individuals who post frequently in the NFL thread.

B) I dont know I'm a degenerate who needs help.

I think I had Hawaii winning that game anyway. I've watched them play this year and they are solid

edit: yep, i have Hawaii with the first round upset over Cal. Hopefully it pays off

They were talking about it this morning on ESPN (mike and mike and sc). Of course, I wasn't about to say anything here until it was too late for you to change anything!

 

[spyder_ur]

This dude Bryce can score.

Biding my time on the east coast to take a late/very long lunch and catch the Duke game as well as the next couple.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

This Bryce kid is a BEAST.

 

[DominoKid]

After seeing this press ill be amazed if duke makes it out of the wknd.

This Seahawks team seems like they're pretty small. Duke definitely has a size advantage inside.

The Seahawks have have a fat guy though. X-Factor.

 

[spyder_ur]

The Seahawks have have a fat guy though. X-Factor.

Having a fat guy who looks like he doesn't belong has been scientifically proven to increase your odds of an upset. Bonus point if he has rec specs.

Grayson Allen, Luke Kennard and Chase Jeter are some hateable names. So perfect for Duke.

 

[StriKeVillain]

This game is fun so far.

I had Hawaii winning as well.

At work, following along on Twitter.

Is this another game where Duke decides that making shots is overrated?
