Even if they win today, I would give them a 0% chance to beat Louisville. That should never be the case in a 4/5 matchup.

BTW Rec was that the year Continental went to the state semi's? If so my brother in law was on that team haha.
Haha, the more I think about it, I think Columbus Grove beat Continental in that game. That was back when my friends and I went to every single high school tournament game that was played at Anderson, so that's the reason I was at such a bizarre game that I had no connection to. Lol.

I went to the state tournament every year from 1998 to 2008, and don't know if I remember seeing Continental. Maybe your brother-in-law is exaggerating lol. I'm probably just forgetting.

North Dakota St. came to play. Looking very solid against Oklahoma.

Ball got stuck on the top of the backboard in the MI game....and apparently Malaysia is running this venue, because a maintenance guy had to come all the way from the tunnel with a ladder to get it!

Whatever happened to knocking it down with another ball, or maybe an extra long broom handle?!?

N.C. State is for real. Up 13 a minute ago. Need to finish strong here.

My bracket rewards upset picks (round points multiplied by seed)

Upset picks in 1 bracket were Stephen F Austin, Stanford, N. Dakota St, and Arizona St.,

In the other was N. Dakota St, Nebraska, Tennessee, Mercer, St. Joe's and Harvard

Uconn/St Joe's game is going down to the wire. Uconn has been outplayed the whole game and it's still tied

Didn't get it, but that was a great call by Kevin Ollie.

UConn brought "Pacer" out of its bag of tricks. Haha. Almost nailed it Bryce Drew style.

Great game.

Shades of UC against Duke in the Great Alaskan Shootout in 98 or 99 I believe. Only UCs was like 3/4 down the floor if I remember right, but great play.

Hard to believe UConn even made OT as horribly as Napier is playing.

Love Bazz. He's got a chance to pull a Kemba Walker this year and take UConn to the Elite Eight. Nova is very beatable. But Iowa State will be tough. That's my Final Four team from the East.

State is just giving this game away against St. Louis. Missing FT after FT after FT.

Phew. Have UConn over Nova, so that's a relief.

Same here.

Now need North Dakota State and N.C. State to escape. Fucking N.C. State. Sixteen point lead six minutes ago.

A-10 pretty underwhelming so far, as anticipated

I have NC State in this one, but I hope they lose now. What a pathetic effort from the foul line.

Hack-A-Shaq time for Saint Louis. Just foul anyone and they'll miss. This is believable.
