I don't think I've given a single update on my bracket and if I did, it was ironically. I did post a lot on pre-tournament matchup strategies which is entirely different.

The game I've been looking forward to the most is tonight....Mich State vs. Virginia. I waffled back and forth on that game for hours. I really wish they had fallen to different regions because I think they are both Final 4 quality teams.

Cards/Cats predictions please? There's heavy gambling to be done!

Pass. UK is too much of an unknown quantity right now.
I like Connecticut, UVA, and the UConn/ISU under for 1u each.

This may be stretching it a little but if UK plays as well tonight and the rest of the way as they did against WSU I think they win the whole thing.

This. It is a big if though. If they played the way they played against Wich St. UK will win by 10+, you couldn't play a much better game than that.

Tough to cap because UK is such a wild card, but if I have to play something on that one it's Under 138. Lucas Oil is a tough shooting background, and I suspect the late tipoff will cause a slow start.Like the UVA ML a little. Like UVA +2.5 a lot if it gets there.

Most teams that play up for a big game usually have a tough time in the next game. Not saying it always happens, but I could see UK getting beat by 15 or more tonight.

They always had the talent. That being said I cant see them putting it together consistently.

Spread wise, I like UConn at +1 tonight. They will be playing in a huge home court advantage in MSG, Shabazz will shine like Kemba. Plus Georges Niang is still out. Kane carried them last game, but will he be able to do it again.
Cats at +4 looks enticing too, maybe too good to be true.

Yes. But i just got an 89 page essay via fax from Timschochet explaining why he thinks UCLA will still make the Final Four next year, so nothing to worry about.

Prediction Machine likes Lou tonight. They/It liked Dayton yesterday. Went 3 for 3 on free plays last week when I remembered to check. Due to lose I supposed but I'm riding that thing. Lou big. Taking UVA/UConn also. Waiting on UVA line to get to 3, everyone on MSU. Tenn/Mich a pass but I'll probably take Mich small at last minute. To recap: I'm going 1-3 with Mich being the only winner.

KenPom and Sagarin each have Louisville as the superior team by a comfortable margin, but they each also see UK as being badly under-seeded. Their numbers indicate these teams should have been #1 and #4 seeds, respectively, rather than #4 and #8.
What does "putting it together consistently" even mean? Of Kentucky's 10 losses, only one came from a team that didn't win 20 games. 8 of those 10 losses were by 5 pts or less. The other two were to Florida. Half of their losses were to sweet 16 teams (Florida 3x, Baylor, Mich St). Their only loss outside of the SEC which is still undefeated in the tournament was at UNC by 5.
I only see one game (South Carolina) where they didn't win against a team they should have. If that means they haven't played consistently all year, then

The quality of NBADraft.net has dropped a lot the last couple of years. IMO DX has the best player breakdowns, but they aren't trying too hard to match players to team needs or guess what GMs will do.

Hillbillies win tonight!

Haven't looked at the schedule, but I'm sure they didn't put the two best games on at the same time again
Of course. And it is too complex to stagger games. They should play all four at once.

Oof. Maymon gets a tough second meanwhile Michigan can just run into Tennessee players.

UConn and Iowa St. jacking threes. Whoa.

Pretty nice. One thing is, though, the only guys showing up tonight are Boatright and Napier. Everyone else looks massively scared to handle the ball and shoot, and Hoiberg is going to figure that out right quick.
We need Daniels and Giffey not to send up threes that are terribly off. Like hitting the backboard wide off.
eta* and on cue, Raftery talks about a third option

I hate to quote my husband but Michigan is putting on an offensive clinic right now. Michigan State game can't start soon enough.

I bet Louisville minus 4.5 and pressed it at minus 4. I think they will slaughter them.U Conn will finish what UNC did not. U Conn plus 1

Looks like Daniels has become the third option right quick. Napier getting at least a six minute real-time blow.

Dang. Hasn't this guy been wrong all tourney from the previous posts? Dayton is in the Elite Eight.

I'm biased, but the atmosphere for both of these games is night and day.
There should be Tourney games at MSG every year.

And we lost the possession arrow. Iowa St. will have it to start the second.

I remember the 2000 tourney game when El-Amin's sprained ankle did us in against you guys. Too easy.Tennessee. We haven't cheated at basketball in a couple years.Who is your team?Texas.
eta* Also have some friends with serious connections to CT college basketball, and it was said that the cheating wasn't just scholarships, but was really, really bad.
