NCAA Tournament 2021

Watch KU beat Houston, thus finally validating Grimes blaming Self for his lack of hoops success.

[NewtonHawk11]

Baylor has an extremely easy path. Villanova without their PG. Purdue is OK this year.

But they can beat UNC or Wisconsin by 15+ each.

[NewtonHawk11]

My double digit seed to sweet 16?

Ohio.

They have an incredible guard who can score from anywhere. Virginia’s team is in quarantine right now. Won’t be able to practice for a while if they are able to before their game.

Oh also pick UCSB to beat Creighton. Think Creighton is in a major free fall after the coach comments.

[pdub]

If KU beat Houston, that'd be in the final.
He'd already be validated if Houston went to the Final Four.
Better validation would be KU winning it all and Houston loosing to a 15 and Grimes going 2-7 with 5 turnovers.

Dang. Yeah I need to actually look at the brackets lol.

Just trying to talk shit on ol’ doughboy Grimey

This part is the most likely scenario.

UNC is very streaky. Wisconsin has looked great.....and terrible. Both of those teams have a shot.

Zags, Bama, Ohio State, Illinois in conservative bracket.

Exactly what I had in my fill-out-a-bracket-asap bracket where you don't think about it and let your prefrontal cortex do the work. Those seem to be the best.

[TDub]

Ohio st lost 5 of its last 8

[Sparko]

Ohio st lost 5 of its last 8

BiG math means they are the hottest team in America

[pdub]

3 of those looses to no. 1 seeds by an average of 4.3 points, one of those in overtime.
The other loss to a no. 2 seed and @ 11 seed Michigan State.

They are in a region with Baylor -- I'm not trusting Scott Drew to make a Final Four.

I wish Grimes sucked at Houston...but he doesn't; he's a good player who was way overhyped, to no fault of his own.

he's still fat.

[InfiniteJ]

He's got soft elbows, so what?

^^^^^ This. All of it.

I think Eastern Washington is going to let it fly from 3.
In their games v Power 5 opponents, they fired 32, 29 and 26 3's.
They normally take just over 23.

Under/over attempts is set at 29.5.

For those of us wondering about that Mobley matchup, consider:

In the last 10 tourneys 11 seeds are 21-19 against 6 seeds.


Edit: per ESPN, for when gutter comes and says it’s actually 20-20 or something.

So we'd get an underseeded Wichita State team instead of an underseeded USC team? Go Drake!

[pdub]

Wichita State isn't underseeded.
In fact, Drake may be more underseeded than Wichita State.
