16 guys, each person gets 1 team from each region. Randomly assigned. You play spreads. If your team covers, even if they lost the game, you move on. Last year I had Fairley Dickenson who covered first two rounds and then took over FAU. Rode them to second.

Damn, wish I had this information a few days ago lol.

What do you do if there’s a push?

Push goes to the favorite team.

This is interesting. So if the guy who originally had FAU got his covers correct also, do you both have FAU at that point?

I'll do an example for sake of ease:

I have Stetson, you have UCONN. UCONN is -26.5. Let's say Stetson loses by 22. I take over UCONN in the next round and then you are out. You don't get to pick what side of the line you are on, you just get your team and their spread.

So second round I would have UCONN vs whoever moved on between FAU and Northwestern.

Ohhh, got it. Oh that's anxiety inducing :lol:

Silver lining of Virginia bombing out is that now I can enjoy my first time really using YouTube TV's multiview without any nerves.

I've heard that's really good.

I've only been a subscriber for 2-3 months and was annoyed at first that you could only choose from multiview options that YouTube constructs for you. They recently changed it to allow you to pick the games you want. It's not 100% flexible - not every game is always available and looks like it's only for sports - but it's pretty cool.

I have four games going right now. You highlight one for audio and can click on one to make it full screen and exit multiview.

Tomorrow I have FL Atl -2.5, Tex AM +1 and Grand Canyon +5.5. Since I made those bets yesterday those numbers haven't moved.

I knew better than to bet against Mich State in round 1 but I hate Izzo so I did anyway.

17-0 run in the final 5 minutes or so. Then it went back and forth again toward end of game, but Dayton just caught fire and Nevada could do nothing.

I got Dayton in both spread pools. Was bummed I was immediately down a team in both only to check and see they took a 1 point lead with 30 left. So awesome.

This Gohlke is apparently from Pewaukee before D2 college. Another Gard mistake

What's the advantage of having nobody in the lane when your team is shooting free throws? Are they THAT afraid of not getting their defense set?
