Don’t worry, although I rationally know that picking KU is one of best bets here, I’m also more worried about that outcome than any other. So, I’m not totally a bad fan.

I'll bet you a pizza (or whatever you want - up to $100 value) Northwestern doesn't beat UCLA.
Deal?

I don't get it. What did I say that was stupid?

that someone had 33k to bet on a 16 seed?


I wouldve guessed the odds wouldve been worse for a 16 seed.
You have to be a serious degenerate gambler to put $33k on a 15 seed to win.

Scheyer has obviously carried on the tradition of flopping at Duke

What about on a 16 seed? ;)
I agree you have to be a degenerate. No matter how much money you are worth.
This was placed during the game. FDU was never down more than 5 so it's not like it was as risky as the odds makers thought it would be before the game started but.... At no point should the person have felt completely confident - until that last few seconds.

I just tuned in a few minutes ago and was wondering if Duke is this bad, or Tenn's D that good?

Duke's inability to do much of anything, especially get the ball in under their own basket, is kind of embarrassing for a blue blood.

As they get a 5 sec call as I typed that.

I'm not an analytics geek, but a talking head said it's (among?) the best in Div.1

We did not play very good defense against Tenn when we played them. I picked Duke to win this. Is it wrong to root for a team you hate because you picked them in your bracket?
