2016 NCAA Tournament Discussion

    One of the dumber endings to a game I can remember.

    You're dumb classy.

    Wow, this is probably my worst year ever. I still have a few darkhorses going deep that could get me back in it, but most of my "good" darkhorses and "smart" picks are gone. I've gotten just 16 out of 23 so far (leader has 21!) and sitting at about 63% of the leader's points.

    In hindsight, MSU was winning a lot of close games in the B1G and the conference is mostly shitting the bed. Purdue was one of the darkhorses I felt good about - MSU over Purdue in the Elite 8 and going on to win it all!!!!!

    Hopefully Michigan State's overall performance this season at least quiets the Greatest Tournament Coach of All Time chatter. The dude's a great coach. He's not in the GOAT discussion, not even a little bit. He's not even in the discussion for greatest of the last 25 years. And it's not even close.

    Yeah, we all know its William Francis Ryan.

    Ignoring spread, I feel like it's the biggest upset ever. I know that's the 8th(?!?!) 15 seed to win, but a lot of people has MSU winning it all.

    Well, I mean, it's Michael William Krzyzewski. Lol.

    Green Bay is playing with reckless abandon, trapping all over the pace and shooting the ball every ten seconds. Forty Minutes of Hell is alive and well.

    Texas A&M is fucked.

    They aren't a good shooting team! I wanted to go with GB but chickened out

    Lol Ironman... I should have said him instead that's a better one for Rec then Bo.

    Also I'm glad I haven't watched a second of the Pitt/Wisc game... that score yikes.
  • reclegend22
    Lol.

    All I'm saying is until Izzo wins multiple titles, he can't be in that GOAT discussion. He just can't. Final Four appearances aren't enough. If almost winning was enough, then Marv Levy would routinely be mentioned as a GOAT coach in the NFL. While all of those Final Fours are great, they are also reminders that Izzo has lost more on the big stage than any other coach in this era. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing; it's just not a great thing IMO.
  • reclegend22
    Yeah, Green Bay isn't '94 Arkansas. Admittedly, all of my excitement got the best of me there.
  • reclegend22
    Please, Pitt, just fucking go away. Nobody likes you.

    Wisconsin hangs on by a thread

    Terrible game
  • wildcats20
    If you don't score 50 in an NCAA tournament game, you should have to forfeit the win.
  • wildcats20
    WVU gets away with so many damn fouls. Reminds me of Pitino's Louisville teams.
  • Ironman92
    My wife has only 6 misses so far in the first round. Left side of the bracket she's perfect 14/14

    Had Mich St to Elite 8 and Purdue Sweet 16...everything else alive but has A&M winning it all...but who knows
  • Classyposter58
    Did not think WVU would be an upset victim

    That's the 3rd time a WVU has shoved a SFA player to the ground on a rebound and it's either been a no call, a foul on SFA, and now a double foul.

    LOL that is in no way, shape, or form a double foul.
  • Azubuike24
    WVU can't score. If you can beat their pressure they aren't even a top 50 team. Remember how great they looked last year against Maryland too?
  • Ironman92
    Wonder the biggest margin of victory for a 14 over a 3

    I believe that would be Ohio over Georgetown by 14
  • Azubuike24
    According to KenPom, 8 of the top 27 teams in the NCAA's are already out, Texas, Cincinnati and Xavier still playing.
  • Ironman92
    This is an embarrassment by WVU. Woeful and Huggins used his last timeout with 8 min left. Have never seen such a thing.
