CBFan Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Ha Ha Bob Cry Baby Huggins you lose. Huggins gets a well deserved "T". I listened to Austin and WV driving down to LOZ and it was a wonderful drive listening to the announcers describing the Huggins melt down.

brianstl Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 4 games still to go on Friday but here is how it looks for the mid-major (i.e. non power 5) vs. power conferences. I'm going to look at games in 5 through 12 seeds as those are the only ones involving at-large caliber mid-majors. Mid-major winners: Wichita St. over Vandy Wichita St. over Arizona Gonzaga over Seton Hall Yale over Baylor VCU over Oregon St. Little Rock over Purdue Power 5 winners: Maryland over SD State Iowa over Temple in OT Indiana over Chatanooga Michigan over Tulsa Syracuse over Dayton 6-5 in total for the mid-majors with UNI looking like they could make it 7-5. But here's the rub; in 8 of the 9 games (only Dayton is the exception) the power 5 school was the higher seed. Sure does call into question how biased the seeding is in favor of the power 5 schools. How should the UConn win be classified if you are counting Tulsa and Temple as mid major losses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big East (Seton Hall) is not a Power 5 conference, is it? The "Power 5" are ACC, Big Ten, Big XII, Pac-12, and SEC. The Big East, American, and A-10 are part of the next tier.

jimbofive Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 The biggest question I got about the 2016 March Madness is why the heck does burger King have hot dogs? and why does derrick rose still have a commercial? i'd rather have a hotdog for a point guard. preferable to a point guard with gonads for kneecaps.

CBFan Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Good to see Gonzaga winning again even though it is another bite out of my brackets and they have a decent chance of making it to the elite eight. The Zags fun will probably end against Iowa State. I like everything big 12 because I think that is the best basketball conference and all teams in played that grueling conference schedule. Kentucky wiped out another elite eight in my brackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
