Re: March Madness 2012

Just by taking care of the ball, Iona should have had 70 here at the break.

Re: March Madness 2012

And they still don't have 70 halfway through the 2nd half.

If the officials let them play any more, they're going to need helmets and pads.

What a collapse. 55 points in 16 minutes to start the game. 15 points in the last 24. BYU wins.

Re: March Madness 2012

This is entertaining, if a tiny bit tedious in the first round:
Blindfold Brackets

NC State to the Sweet 16 was my biggest outlier. I hadn't even given any thought to picking them to win 1, much less 2.

First time through I had Wichita State, Michigan St, Kansas and Vanderbilt in the final 4 with Kansas over Witchita State for the final. Based mostly on "stats." Tried it a 2nd time and had the same final four and results but a few different teams in the sweet 16

Re: March Madness 2012

Got my picks in for my pool. I did 2 brackets - one for what I think will happen (UNC - didn't want to pick Kentucky), and one for what I wish would happen (Marquette-Wisconsin final ). Our formula is geared to give extra points for upsets, so we'll see how it goes. I got SDSU in the random pool.

NCAAW: Had a chance to see this women's player from Delaware, Elena Delle Donne, when they played near me this year. If they play on TV, take a few minutes and watch her play. I find I don't care the gender or the sport or the level, if somebody is an outstanding talent, it is fun to watch.

I'll get my picks in on this bracket tonight.

Re: March Madness 2012

Vermont defeats Lamar. No word as to whether Pat Knight is going to kick his seniors off the podium in the post-game presser.

Re: March Madness 2012

I'd give an NCAA tourney bid to the winner of the Northern Sun conference before I gave anyone in the Pac-12 an at-large bid.

I bet Bemidji State would have put up at least 15 in the first half.

Re: March Madness 2012

Iona did better than that in the 2nd half last night.

Pretty interesting backstory too.

Re: March Madness 2012

I don't know if this still works, but Coke Zero had a promotion where you could get March Madness On Demand for free instead of paying the $3.99.

You text 0SCHOOL or 0NICKNAME (all caps) to 2653 and you'll get a code back. For example, I did 0SPARTANS and it texted me back a code with instructions.

Like I said, I don't know if this promotion still works or not, but it's worth a try.

If you pay for cable, you can get it for free. Just have to validate it.

Surely somebody has put a group up on ESPN? I can't be bothered to do brackets on Yahoo.
