Get over it .I'm back. Good luck for your brackets.I hope we bust the brackets, but my calls are realistic. I'll gladly take SLU or VCU busting up the brackets. Hope it comes true. Every bracket everywhere will be busted if one of us does the unlikely.

They are in. Good luck!!!!

And by the way F-Duck and coach K with a corn cob. Get rid of the toupee and shave that thing bald!!!! OK, so it's not Shaka, but the look on K's face is priceless! Give SLU and VCU and home and home K or STF up!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=TCphWpDnAcU

OK, no malice intended here, but how many T's has Shaka been rung up for this year? Every coach in the land works the refs relentlessly. It's part of being a coach and I'd think less of a coach if they didn't give their team any and every chance they can think of to win a game.

Interesting stuff, maybe I'll set up one of my brackets with it and see the outcome. Thanks! Seems to put a lot of weight on travel and most on Sagarin. The travel is an issue for sure. I'm hearing that Melvin Johnson is possible to play Sunday if VCU gets there, which is likely. I'll take a 75% Melvin if he's parked on the 3 line. No teardrops. We won't really know how bad it is until he actually plays. If he does, he will not play a lot of defense. I haven't seen where he has an ACL. Where is that info? I can't find it. Check this out. Pretty interesting stuff. I put a lot of weight on defense, especially in the tourney. http://johngasaway.com/2014/03/11/tuesday-truths-final-reality/ This should be a pretty sound predictor as well, as every conference has cupcakes. 63% is the fact that UCLA is basically playing a home game, so they get the 3 point advantage. That game will be a very good game. I do have Louisville winning on two sheets. Unbelievable that the Committee puts such strong weight on a LAME RPI system, when there are so many other tools to use. I am wondering where the other 8% went though. I can't agree that pre-season rankings should be given a lot of weight, but if they are then VCU should have done very well in that category. I'm also wondering why VCU appears to have gotten the easiest 12 seed when SLU got the worst, That blew me away when I watched the show. Expected SLU to get a much better shot at a sweet 16 since SLU was above VCU in the overall field ratings. Maybe they were using the computer ratings when they filled out the 5-13 slots more than we think.

SLU goes to 32. Louisville's a *****. Can't believe that happened. However SLU poses a matchup and talent for the Ville that they are not used to. Get by them and the sky's the limit. SLU should not be freaked out about Louisville. Winnable game, but SLU has to play lights out and own the Ville press. VCU get's a cupcake then a very evenly matched game if no meltdown in game 1. Every number I've seen puts VCU and UCLA dead even. VCU will not beat FL if they get to the 16. Stranger things have happened but I don't see it this year.Donovan vs Disciple will be entertaining at the very least. FL will win the Dance if not AZ. I worry about UMASS if they get TEN. All the numbers and body of work favor TN. UMASS got overseeded by most every analytical thing I've seen. I see GW going to 32 and no further, however the numbers and matchup favor them in the round of 64. Dayton is done vs OH State. Book it. St Joes is the wildcard. Coming in on a roll with Galloway and two other good scorers. They will be a tough game for anyone. Got them in the 16. No further, but if any team in the league can get to the 8, they are likely the one. Duck and coach K suck. Nuff said about that. They may make the 16 via the help they get every year by playing at home. UVA is a final 4 team. Would be surprised not to see it but they gotta get through a very hot MI ST team that is peaking. VA is a very tough mathup on the O and D side vs MI ST. Michigan is toast. Some very interesting silly stupid chosen matchups in the brakets that look close but are really easy calls if all the ratings OPP DPP Offensive and Defensive proficiency are to be followed.

They must be high

Man, I love the Mudkat Band. Never even knew it existed. Gotta go download some of their stuff.

That's What I'm Talking about!!! Plus 10000

This!

:lol: Great!!

GT is a lame-A$$ school not even in the tourney. They made their BE bed and now they have to sleep in it. GW is way too strong for them. GW will go to the round of 32. GT won't play anyone OOC (unless forced to in a pre-season tourney) that might have a chance to hurt them. Too bad. GW is only about 1/2 mile from Foggy Bottom. GT is a shadow of their former self and they will be mid-major very soon. Too many good programs in the area recruiting against them.

The suck, but they got a good seed. All numbers everywhere say TN is at least their equal. They are my pick to make a run and they have more experience. I would not want to be UMASS.

If anyone has had a look at TN's PPP and OPP in conference and the fact that they destroyed VA, then you'll see that TN is basically KY in orange uniforms. They are a lock for the 32. Compare KY's numbers to TN and you'll see that TN should not have had to do a play-in. They should have been a 9-10. SLU is a lock vs NCS. X could be tough, but all of the numbers say SLU to win vs either!!!

Galloway is unbelievable. He (edit) did not get A-10 player of the year, but man, that dude can ball. Joe's looked great today. Too bad he graduates. So silky smooth on the court. Knocks down the 3 with guys in his face all the time. Makes the good pass. No one wants any part of them in the round of 64. Close to 1950 points and counting 35mins a game per year. over 40% from three career. 86% career FT shooter. He's been this good since he came to SJ as a freshman. The total package. No weakness anywhere in his game. Congrats St Joes!

Billikens hope you get a smooth ride to the 16. Coach K is an idiot with bad hair coloring :lol: :lol:
