Well, good thing I created a cats and dogs bracket!
March 17th, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
Is the mgoblog bracket on ESPN a little messed up for anyone else? How come it wont list the rankings in order? My other groups look normal.
March 17th, 2018 at 12:49 PM ^
Look at it another way though...for as fun as the first round was, the brackets are currently in order because many of them are so horribly out of order now. That's how I am choosing to see it at this point.
If we let the South region secede from the union.... I wouldn't be in bad shape.

Go Rams. Go 'Zags.
Go BLUE!
Divencenzo is fucking balling out right now. Five 3s and 18 points. Wow, carrying Villanova right now with Brunson on the pine for a good chunk of time.
Did I mention that I love this week?
Is terrifying AF. Top seeded teams will forever have nightmares about this vicious killer.
Alabama just folding under this rain of threes.
Game. Set. Match.
Stick to football, Alabama.
Thanks for coming, Bama
Imagine how good it would be if they did a few Sparty Floor Slaps..*sarcasm.
Poor Virginia fans will have to see cute puppy pictures forever. Getting upset by a team with a cuddly mascot is the worst.
my assessment of villanova:
um, good.
as usual, glad M isn't in Villanova's bracket
We will be :)
do we want rhode island to beat duke... or is more fun to watch duke beat izzo yet again?
MSU was already gifted two home games in the tourney. They don't need another gift.
More than Duke, so if they bring more heartbreak to MSU, so be it
Nova just executed. I dislike Duke, and kind of like RI. But let’s be honest duke is more likely to knock out MSU so... go Duke
Grayson Allen has one of those faces that only a mother couldn't punch.
If anyone else just wants to bitch slap him. He is the physical embodiment of how I have perceived Duke my whole life. Entitled little cunt
love child
With only 8 games, they could have started a game every hour beginning at noon. The last game would have started at 7.
Even if they did a early game, this game, and start another like now (half). Should stagger every hour or so from 330-730. I agree with you, but need to remember we are EST. however, if most games are between 3-8 est that would be good for basically all time zones.
It’s how it always has been. It’s called maximizing the probability of greatest eyeballs on the game. Not sure how you don’t see this.
Getting a free 2-3 zone scouting report playing cuse then duke next week
If they get past Cuse.
I was thinking...seems UM plays better earlier in day. Over last 2 years, BTT runs, both were all Games before 5. Last year the Ok st. & Louisville games were early. Lost in sweet 16 at night to Oregon. You think anything to this? Probably good we get some night games early, clearly as this tournament goes, day games are basically none existent.
Off topic. Seems football team plays better during day too. What is it about our squads playing in Prime Time that doesn't bring their A game?
We lost to Final Four-bound Oregon by one point in the Sweet 16 last year.
Thursday we covered the spread, beating Montana by 14.
Where is that pattern again?
Yeah. This is wayward speculation.
with even a modicum of rigor.
my newest phrase that I'm going to use to troll on twitter. :) "You're not making your case with even a modicum of rigor!" God bless I like that!!
I could see a path for Michigan to make the NC game, but it’s hard to see winning the whole thing.
Should be epic
Goes both ways. One game dominating doesn't mean you're steamrolling everybody. Villanova and Duke both good, and could meet, but still a lot of work to make that happen. Both Bama and RI weren't very good.
IF staee beats Cuse (which I don't think they will) they are going to get shredded by Duke
Why is anyone putting in any effort into state? The absolute furthest they are going is sweet 16. A team that had good athleticism and talent, but a group that is just a mediocre and average basketball program.
Buffalo’s taking too many jumpers while Kentucky takes it to the hole.
Everything that is wrong with college basketball......
Can not stand them, seriously hope the FBI nukes them
Chris Webber is doing a reallllly good job ad a color guy, guys...is it just me or is everyone else appreciating him?!
“Created by Culture.”
Meh.
Kinda shitty, IMO. Your mileage may vary.
I don't get it....and why is it shitty?
IMO.
What do I know? These guys are taking it to the Vols right now.
is full of Boy George fans.
Buffalo offense just taking it to all the NBA talent on Zona and UK is quite impressive.
Buffalo just can't get a shot to get to a one possession game. Now an shitty and-1 and back down 8 probably.
Helluva game of 2 skilles teams though. Kentucky is quite the assembly of basketball talent. Fuck John Calipari
