    Yep. Great game. And I picked TX Tech. So... great game. 
    Me too.  Your turds go down to MI state.  Our bracket has opened up.  Exact opposite of every other year where Duke gets the free ride.  Go Cats.
    I love that you believe that about Duke.

    @bgebrent - life is quite good in your household right now.  Congrats to Purdue!

    I just looked at my bracket.  I'm worried that I'm going to regret picking Xavier over Florida State.

    I am holding out til Monday AM to assess the carnage.  In addition to the one here I have a few others that are likely just as destroyed.  But all in good fun!

    What a crazy shot by Michigan State there to close the half.  Damn.

    Yep.  Classic Michigan State.  Staying in the game through offensive rebounding.  They go after loose balls like eggheads after SRF meats.

    True.

    But it looks like none of the leaders in our bracket picked Syracuse.

    If Texas A&M beats UNC it will REALLY mess up my bracket.

    Another freak occurance /perfect storm...for another top seeded ACC team, which, in this case, had been given a lofty 2 seed, despite double digit losses during the season?

    The evidence is right in front of your eyes.

    Clearly, the ACC, or at least 2 teams from that conference, had been overly embellished, by both the media and selection committee.

    ACC bias is real.

    Feel bad for the kids of both programs. Being disrespected is just as wrong as being overated.

    And Nevada joins the upset parade. 

    And yes @YukonRon, the computers that calculate RPI and KenPom and other ratings are clearly biased.

    Clemson doesn't seem to be subscribing to the "ACC is overrated" narrative.

    Auburn is from the SEC. We have great visual arts schools though.
