If history is any indication, despite my absolute total lack of any knowledge regarding the NCAA outside what I overhear on PTI and ATH podcasts, I'm likely to finish just outside of the top ten and in the mid-70s on overall percentile. Just mentioning it so all those who actually follow college ball and finish below me can feel bad

Diderotn should have at least one post in the all time greats.

First time that diderotn dropped the phrase " <noun, verb, adjective, whatever> is suck" I was a changed person having read that.

"____ is suck" is profound.

Profoundly what I'm not sure. But that's profound.

I was really pulling for Belmont over Duke. That was the classic David vs Goliath game.

Yup, makes you wonder if they had taken the ball up to the half court line, they could have called a timeout there.

Here is a link to the group standings.

As I type this - after one day of tourney play - I'm kinda middlin'.

I'm not bad after day one. I missed two games, and I had both those teams losing in the next round anyways.

American is hanging in there so far.

AU is still hanging tough. Down 3 with 13 and a half left in the game.

How great is it that you can watch all the games live online?

I'm sitting here in my office, door closed, watching the AU/ Tenn game.

Jones needs to coach these players in the offseason. Some of them can't even handle a bounce pass and some dude missed a point blank layup. It's the same team who beat Maryland for crying out loud.

UConn and Gonzaga gone. My bracket is toast.

^^Blame EJ!

My Wiz board "pride" bracket is pretty busted as well. My "money" ones are still looking pretty good, though.
