2019 NCAA Tourney Thread: Nation has to watch Virginia again (1 Viewer)

Real cold shooting. They got plenty of good looks but Tech has done a great job shutting down Michigan's transition game. I should have expected this since this is kind of a rebuilding year for Michigan. They lost a lot from the Nat Title game team last year. They only have 1 senior on the team. Next year is likely to be a much better year.

“Gonzaga shouldn’t have a one seed. They play in a no name conference and would be nothing in a power conference. 

*makes 3 Elite 8s in 5 years*

”Well they should! They’re a one seed!”

They don't play anyone in the first 2 rounds because they are a 1 seed. Zags just need to win 1 tough game to make an elite 8. Put Wisconsin or Oregon in that 1 slot every year and it's probably not too different of an outcome. 

I don't know if I believe that but it's a take. 

 
There's a lot of time left, but I gotta say, genuinely, Texas Tech is making Michigan look worse than Buffalo.  I thought UB got kinda embarrassed on Sunday.  This is worse.  Way worse.

That's what UB fans were all saying on Sunday.  Maybe Tech is just really ####### good.

They are really good but Michigan has also missed about 9 open threes. 

0/12 and they weren't tough forced looks, lots of open ones. They should make 4 of those on average and it's a very close game. Michigan is choking so bad

and that replay of 3 wide open 3s missed was perfectly timed 

Can not beat a team that sells out to protect the middle by missing open 3s all game.

I expect Virginia wins tonight but I wouldn't be shocked if Oregon pulled off the upset.  Game time is 10:00 Eastern which is late for Virginia players on EST but normal for Oregon players on PST.  Pressure is all on Virginia as they are the 1 seed and Oregon is playing with house money.

I expect a low scoring game perhaps something like 58-54 Virginia.

53-49, pretty close

Missed opportunity for the Ducks. Peyton 3-12, and they couldn’t get Wooten involved at all on either end. Had their chances to beat a better team, but just couldn’t take advantage of multiple opportunities. That’s what a grind out team like Virginia can do to you.

The guy that has the perfect bracket so far has me thinking:

Am I correct to assume that the first two rounds would be harder to predict correct than the last portion?  Not saying it's easy by any means, but I would think getting the remaining picks right would be easier than the last.  But I'm also crappy at math, so my opinion means diddly squat.  Is there anyway to quantify this?  

No real reason other than just my own curiosity.

Picking 48 correctly >>>>> picking 15 correctly.

ONE PERFECT BRACKET in the world. Odds of going 48 for 48 so far = 151 MILLION to 1. Odds of this bracket staying perfect all the way (15 more wins): 2,267 to 1

But I'm assuming he's basing that off of every game being a 50/50 chance, right?  

 
So Tournament ratings are soaring as NBA ratings are tanking.  Yet the sports writers are still trying to figure out a way to make college basketball more like the NBA.  

Leave it alone.

Those late games last night were tremendously awful. Like, totally unwatchable. Just because people are watching because of their brackets doesn’t mean the product is great.

I didn't watch because I'm old and can't stay up that late on school nights.  But I get what you're saying.  I still respectfully disagree though.  I think college basketball is a much better product.  And it's ok we have different opinions.  I'm just saying there's no need to turn the NCAA into the NBA.  It's ok to have two slightly different products just like football does.
