SDSU finally breaks the MWC Tournament curse.
Shame on any doubters!
Well at least I didn't have Arizona winning it all. Sorry Mr President. 
# of post season games won this season:
Lousiville : 0
Cal: 0
#8 Arizona: 0
Don't forget Virginia.
Didn't Arizona win a game in their conf tournament? I know Virginia did (grumble grumble).
Haha yeah they won the PAC 12.
Carl needs to change it to NCAA tournament games
First half of Tennessee vs Louisiana.
Well that kind of looked like a basketball game. If you squint.
Ugh.
Yeah 19-19... then Tenn woke up.
NKU hanging with Houston. Interesting...

Without Santi for Tennessee out there there were some dumb passes going on. Sloppy.
I hate Pat Adams as a ref. Uros has ticked SEC refs off too long and they hold it against him. One play three guys grabbed his arm below the basket and they called jump ball. They didn't grab the ball, they grabbed his arms. Then it happened again right before half, luckily it was UT ball.
Not that he hasn't overplayed his enforcer roll, but don't carry biases into the tourney.
Cajuns are Ragin.
Norse hanging single digits but have to make a 3
That got interesting but Tenn survives.
Damn A&M? Nice SEC tourney run I guess?
Vols played about 12 minutes of good ball surrounded by 28 minutes of I don't know what...
Better play better against Duke. Otherwise we're getting stomped.
Group update.
UpToIso and noPants are in the lead with 12/16 right yesterday.
Stele and Ego are last, with 9.
Everyone else tied with 10
Personally I have 2 brackets with 13/16 and 3 others with 12, including the first one I filled out. But I guess I put the wrong one in the group.

I guess it pays to watch Big Ten basement dwellers.
Oh Kennesaw State.. you had control for so long. Darn.

That Kennesaw player got pretty much hacked on the wrist with that rebound... the ensuing scrum shouldn't have been a thing. Ah well, tough break.

Whole bunch of teams that we beat are still alive, and we got slaughtered by a combo of ice cold shooting and red hot shooting; apparently 40 minutes is too small of a sample size for a reversion to the mean.
BEST of luck to Penn State tomorrow, and I mean that with every fiber of my being! Hell, if they win tomorrow, I'll pull for them the rest of the way!
That's me, pillar of sportsmanship. 
FDU leading Purdue under 8 minutes left in the game.
Oh boy

The tourney is a cruel mistress.
(just ask Tennessee and Rick Barnes. Both historically go to the tourney to underperform. At some point the averages should catch up? Right?)

I'll ask my friend who went to UVA, see what she says about that...
Purdue = French for lose?
Don't worry Purdue, this just means you're guaranteed to win the title next year.
Double-digit seed losses by Purdue under Matt Painter:
16 seed (2023)
15 seed (2022)
13 seed (2021)
12 seed (2016)
11 seed (2011)
Farleigh Dickinson? I loved that character on Downton Abbey.
Holy sh*t. I didn't think it'd happen again for a LONG time.
Purdue is a lot like UT if you look at their tourney performance. Historically underperform their regular season.
The whole Big 10 has been that way for 20+ years.
I only thought my bracket was toast after last night; now I know it is.
