march madness 2015

[chrysostom]

is there life after the super bowl?

ubetcha

march madness

the greatest event in sports history

it starts march 15
and
it is not too early to get ready
we already have people working on
what
the brackets might look like
if
it started today
there are over 64 teams in the tournament
so
chances are good your school will be in it
or
at least on the bubble
so
forget about peyton, it is time to get up to speed on basketball

I hope tet likes basketball

I like all the stats

:banana: Awesome!!

I already scheduled the Thursday and Friday of the first week off so I can stay home and watch all the games.


My excitement is tempered by the thought that Kentucky is just going to roll through and win it all though. I won't want them to win. They've had some scares this season but I wouldn't be surprised if that's just because they get lazy at times. In tournament time that won't happen.

I hear their schedule is not that tough
so
they will stumble in the tournament

I love it.

I was at the Final Four last year. It was at AT&T Stadium in Dallas (where the Cowboys play)

forget about peyton

This year's Final Four is at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN

It's hard to think of Lucas Oil Stadium without thinking of Peyton Manning.

I am looking forward to your stats

like how many times has a number 6 seed won it all

 

[tetelestai]

I like all the stats

Most titles:

11 - UCLA
8 - Kentucky
5 - North Carolina
5- Indiana
4- Duke
4- Connecticut


Of the above teams, only Kentucky, North Carolina, & Duke are in the Top-25 AP Poll today.

syracuse already eliminated

All the stats in the world will not stop Kentucky. They could do the opposite of 85 Villanova and go out that way. But that is about it.

well it will be interesting to see who gets to play them

 

[Nick M]

In the first round, it will be the worst team in the tournament. Which you already know. So who is the 65th best team in DI?

gonzaga is for real this year

they should make it to the final four

really

 

[kmoney]

I hope not. I hope they bomb out early. For some reason I enjoy seeing them be the team that has hopes and then fails. No Cinderella for them. :nono:


I would root for them against Kentucky though. That'd be a terrible title game. :doh:

syracuse already eliminated

I really like Boeheim

syracuse

Yeah, it took a lot of integrity to take yourself out in a season where you aren't very good anyway.

And way to punish a bunch of kids who had nothing to do with the offenses.

so why don't you like boeheim?

 

[kmoney]

so why don't you like boeheim?

I generally root against Syracuse but I am mostly neutral on Boeheim. I'm just not going to give him or the program credit for taking the team out of the tournaments in this case. I have a feeling that if they were ranked #2 right now they'd be eligible.
