That's payback for what they did to Duke a few years ago.

It seems that two more people have joined our group today - and one of them is in first place.

ACC is now 9-0. I don't see that continuing all day on Sunday. I just hope it's not Duke that is responsible for breaking the streak.

Looks like UVa is going to break the streak.

UVa is getting quite a few trips to the free throw line.

And the refs didn't make Virginia shoot 1/13 from three.

UVA horrible shooting. Getting hacked though - those desperation potty shot heaves under the basket didn't go in once. 50 points in a game is despicableLarge BGE and Medium BGE

It doesn't appear that many people picked Wichita State over Kansas.

Michigan State should never be counted out. I've always liked Izzo's teams. They go after loose balls like hungry wolves pouncing on meat. It's a different version of 40 minutes of hell than what Arkansas used to run, but it is a grueling 40 minutes.

It has been a fun tournament for sure, and my destroyed bracket is proof of that. I dont think you can count anybody out at this point but it still looks like Duke and KY are the teams to beat. As much as I hate to say that.

There was something quite profound--or maybe 'obvious'--in his comment.
P.S. I'm in the same boat as you.

@tz666 and @mahenryak, you can take comfort that you are picking against an elite group. The average score in our group is 79th percentile against the nation. Apparently we are pretty basketball savvy.

I don't gamble, but looking at those odds, I would think that Notre Dame +1 and Duke - 5 would be bets with pretty good odds. My guess is that you would have a 60% chance of winning each of those bets.
Wichita State is good, but there is a reason they are a #7 seed. They could easily win that game but I just think they would only win 3 or 4 out of 10 against Notre Dame.
And Duke could lose to Utah, but the most likely scenario is a reasonably (8 points or more) comfortable Duke victory.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

What current trend calls on you to pick UNC? Wisconsin hasn't been as impressive as expected, but they've still played better than UNC. One shot changes against Harvard and UNC loses that game, and they only managed to beat Arkansas because of turnovers and transition points that they will not get against Wisconsin. UNC got a cake setup for a team that had 2 decent wins since Martin Luther King Day (and given how shaky UVA looked the last 2 weeks, maybe only 1 decent win) and have tried to screw it up.
West Virginia could cause some trouble for Kentucky, they'll make it an ugly game like UK/Louisville was, and while I expect Kentucky to win, if it is a 2 possession game with 3 minutes left, anything can happen.
Michigan State is definitely looking like a sleeper team, they're probably the favorites in the East now, but the tournament is still watching if Kentucky can hold serve, and if one of the 3-4 teams that could hang with them survive to face them.LBGE

Good point @Eggcelsior. Kaminsky is definitely the key to Wisconsin having a shot at Kentucky. When I picked them to win that game on my bracket I have to admit that I was more hopeful than analytic...

I also don't see UNC getting tons of transition points; Wisconsin generally has so many guys on the perimeter they have solid coverage getting back, UNC has a bit of a rebounding edge, but not huge, and they aren't going to get nearly as many turnovers as they got in their first 2 games.LBGE
