wow, Gonzaga got away with a blatant shove in the back on the rebound then benefits from a questionable blocking call on UNCG
That blocking call was tough.. looked like two guys going for a loose ball to me.

that must be one strong UNCG player to shove the defender that far with one arm

There was a push... but there was a bigger flop

Wife works for a Berkshire Hathaway company and I filled out our bracket last night for chance at $1 million / year for life.... first round games seem even more nerve racking this year if that's even possible.

Heartbreaker for UNCG. That 3 was in and out.

Keeps my bracket nice and safe, though.

I saw the odds for picking a perfect bracket.  You have a LOT better odds of winning the lottery

For sure.  Good thing about this Warren Buffet prize is you have to get the first two rounds perfect.  Still almost impossible, but much better odds than the entire bracket!

HamIAm

Here are the odds of a perfect bracket
QuoteSome believe it's as low as 1 in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 (or 1 in 9.2 quintillion, for those who skipped the last 18 digits), while others, including Jeff Bergen, a professor at DePaul, think it's as "high" as 1 in 128 billion. Either way, picking all 63 games (excluding the First Four games) correctly is next to impossible.


Meanwhile the odds of winning either the Powerball or Mega Millions were roughly the same: 175 million to one

I like what I'm seeing from Loyola Chi. Hope they keep it up. They're my sleeper.

Loyola needs to be a little more athletic to keep up.

Atlhogfan1

I have high hopes for Loyola. 

Devils looking good offensively.  That zone though  :-\  Basically Coach K is willing to trade 2 for 3's. 

Quote from: MaconBacon on March 22, 2018, 10:30:04 amWe had a good run in the 90's and one NC and now the whole state still laments that we are a top seed program and have kids standing in line to come to good ole Arkansas.  We're just a flash in the pan boys. 

RaisinHog

I got them winning it all in one bracket lmao

Atlhogfan1

Great back and forth with Loyola and Miami.

Man this one is getting intense

Think I may regret not getting on the Jackrabbits.

Too many wasted trips for Loyola the last couple of minutes.

Loyola blew it with missed FT's

Edit: reverse psychology lol

Loyola ball.  Hope they get a good shot. 

Winner!

Okay, you are right, I should have done that first instead of going off of what other people said was said.
So basically all my complaining was for nothing and I'm a dumbass.  I should have just watch the presser BEFORE commenting.

potential upset brewing with Ohio State.  OSU's second leading scorer fouls out. S. Dakota St within 2
