According to FiveThirtyEight.com, the odds against A&M coming back from 13 down against Northern Iowa were 3,000 to 1. Yikes.BigDaddyMatty wrote:My heart hurts after that UVa loss. How in the world does a Top Five defensive team, which also happens to be a Top Five slowest pace team, manage to give up a 13-point lead in less than three minutes? To me it seems possibly even less probable than UNI's collapse against A&M.

Re: March Madness
Not much time left of course, but does anyone have any bracket action for the J! Board? I entered the two on the WWTBAM Bored:

Re: March Madness
I created a bracket on ESPN's Tournament Challenge site. I joined the group JBoard Madness, created by BigDaddyMatty last year and still open for business (group password: kebertxela). If anyone wants to play against me, feel free to join the group.MarkBarrett wrote:Not much time left of course, but does anyone have any bracket action for the J! Board?

Re: March Madness
Clicking into this thread at the beginning, I was a bit thrown to see Vanya had started it, then shaken by a post from Paucle (may he RIP)... and then I noticed the dates.

Re: March Madness
I am thoroughly unimpressed by most of the at-large field and mid majors, so my Elite Eight and Final Four are pretty heavy on the chalk, with three #1s advancing and Kentucky instead of UNC (sorry heelsrule). I'm probably going to get burned trusting the Zags that much, but we'll see. 'Nova/Kansas for an equally boring title game prediction, and put me down for the repeat.

I'm in to defend my title from last year. I'm sure I will finish last as a result.

Yay! I picked Wisconsin over Villanova. I don't remember my reasoning, though.

Re: March Madness
Really late notice, but I just edited my bracket for LL. Realized I had done the JBoard bracket last year and submitted an entry in it for this year.....and then I noticed that I'm the only one in it as of right now. 10 hours or so to submit, or I take home the top prize by default.
Group is JBoard Madness, password kebertxela.

Re: March Madness
I love a good tournament pool, especially when my team is a 2 seed. Plus, I'll actually be in the country this year and can watch the games. Heading to Nashville tomorrow morning to cheer on the Bearcats!

Re: March Madness
I have six different brackets going with six different winners. The funniest is the one with a random pick requirement and I got Georgia St. over Arkansas in it.
