March Madness 2012 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

If I actually gave a damn about my bracket, I'd be really upset about all the screwing around I did with it last night. If I'd just left it alone I'd have gotten every game right so far except I had the Lobos losing to Long Beach.

 

I'd also have Iowa State beating UCONN, which seems to be inevitable given how awful UCONN looks right now.

 

Luckily for me, I couldn't care less and just made a bunch of off the wall picks for fun.

Well, I had UConn winning so that ends my perfect streak. Now 12 for 13. I'm really dissapointed about this one too. I was hoping to see a lot more out of Jeremy Lamb and especially Drummond in the tournament. I think Drum will stay for another year in college for sure after this early exit.

I honestly don't see why he would.

 

He is basically guaranteed to go top 5 at the very least, realistically top 3.

 

Most importantly of all, UConn basically has nothing to play for next year. They can't play in the NCAA Tournament next year, so I can't see why Drummond would come back.

Why can't they play in the tournament next year? I said that assuming he would be dissapointed with the early exit and try to make a better run with another years experience under his belt.

Poor academics.

 

Under rules approved in October, a school must have a two-year average score of 930 or a four-year average of 900 on the NCAA's annual Academic Progress Rate, which measures the academic performance of student athletes.

 

Connecticut's men's basketball scored 826 for the 2009-10 school year. UConn's score for the 2010-11 school year is expected to be about 975.

 

That would not be high enough. It would give Connecticut a two-year score of 900.5 and a four-year average of 888.5.

Deshaun Thomas is going to blow up next year without Sullinger and Buford.

 

He has had a very strong finish to the Big Ten season, playoffs and had 31/12 tonight.

 

And yeah, I didn't expect Colorado to dominate UNLV like this. Not that they are a bad team or anything, I just thought that the Rebels were a very, very strong 6 seed.

This Royce from Iowa State is impressive.

 

As long as Colorado holds onto this lead, I'm 15 for 16...only mistake was picking Wichita State. Unfortunately I had them making the elite 8.

 

Great game by OSU, but Buford and Sullinger are not looking good going into the Gonzaga game.
