You can literally never go wrong picking UCONN to make the final four. Look at their history, look at their metrics this year. I have them winning it all. Not too late to adjust your brackets.

Christ, the Helobious kiss of death. 

You think being wrong 98.42% of the time he’d stop making claims with conviction

I saw on some sports page tiktok that every national champion in the past 20 years has been in a top certain kenpom threshold for offense & defense, forget what it was. They said the only 3 teams that met that criteria this season were Alabama, Houston, and UConn. Add in their consistent history of success and I think you’d be foolish to not have them be your champion. But sure go ahead and right me off.

I'll even write you off to be safe.

I was about to write something about that but, I see that you had the right idea, before I.

Starts off with a pretty good one, WVU v Maryland. 

I had forgotten that Kevin Willard was now at Maryland. Should be fun.

Packed house!!!

I think you just love the whole Northeast.  You jerked off to the Jersey Shore girls, didn't you?

That’s one of the reasons the NCAA has stated that they like doing the first weekend in Pittsburgh. They were here last year and will be here next. People here go to the games, all the games. It makes it a lot more fun.

It’d be cool if they actually called fouls on WVU due to the same amount of contact they call other team’s fouls.

Press Virginia, baby!

I’m no fan of Huggins. I think he has been great for his school. But, those on the court interviews show just how pointless they are. His answers were good. He didn’t want to do the stupid interview. No coach should be made to do them.

Gonna try not to be such a dipshit on here moving forward. Too many good people here.

4 months sober and it's been rough, this has been my outlet. No excuses though.

Gotta be better.

I'll hit 10 years next month.

Stay the course.  It gets better and better.

Back to the hoops...

"...maybe we shouldn't foul as much..."

I only see good basketball interviews when the interviewer has a good relationship with the coach, and the coach wants to be cool with their friend.  Think how Craig Sagar could get funny answers from Pops.

Time for my annual post on how I miss knowing at a glance where each game was being played based on the court.  The ncaa no paint at all two-toned wood and midcourt bracket logo are lame.

But....you can't.  They counted. 

If Texas had scored 6 fewer touchdowns, ou would've been within one score!

And Furman giving UVA a game early.  It cannot just be because they lost Vander Plas.  

Is Bennett just a tourney underachiever outside of 2019?

Death, taxes, Virginia fucking sucks

My take, and we had a bit of it at Pitt under Jamie Dixon, is that UVa’s style of slow, deliberate play does not leave you much of a margin for error once you hit the NCAA Tournament. Other teams come in all jazzed up to be there. You’re playing teams you’ve never played, against a lot of guys who can really play. I think Bennett is terrific but, at times he’s got to let the guys loose. Against Duke in the ACC title game, when UVa was down 10, it seemed like they were down 20.

In the case of WV-MD, saying it's a good matchup shouldn't be confused with saying the teams are good. 

We throttled Maryland in College Park.  They aren't good.

Everyone remembers Virginia won a NC. That’s idiotic. 

How did Auburn get a home game in Birmingham as a 9 seed? Jesus. That’s horseshit.

I went and adjusted for them to lose their first game based on this post.
