Bracket Challenge 2019

Wonder if we kept NCSU out.

Their SOS was terrible, but one more win over a non-terrible team....

7 ACC teams in NCAAT. Seems kind of low with Big 10 getting 8.

I'm a little surprised neither Clem nor NCSU were on the first four out.

Committee chair said they were left out due to not capitalizing on the number of Quad 1 opportunities that they had on the schedule.

Which is weird since NCSU was 3-9 in Q1 while UF was 4-11. Not a ton of difference. I think they were looking for a reason to punish NCSU for their awful SOS.

Duke got their annual blow job from the committee.

Mich St is the number 2 in the region and they had a starter injured today

LSU is the number 3 in the region and they are in disarray.

And they got to stay in the East.

The annual **** Vitale rant where he demonstrates an elementary understanding of data is over.

ACC was more top heavy. No real middle of the pack this year which hurts at large bids

I take satisfaction in tech screwing up state's ncaa hopes.

Debbie Yow begs to differ with the NCAA committee. She is a feisty old bird for sure

St Johns gets in with 5 Q1 wins against NC States 3 while the Wolfpack were 40 spots higher in the NET than the Red Storm.

PAC-12 blows chunks again. 2 teams got in without a play-in. TWO. One was a 9 seed and one was a 12. That is like, clear the room gas.

Most interesting first round matchup to me is Virginia vs Gardner-Webb (remember them schooling us on our home court?).

Couldn’t have a 16-1 upset two years in a row, could we?

Nah...probably not.

They also beat Wake so that team is no slouch.

Yeah it's not letting me join

I think they were looking for a reason to punish NCSU for the awful home loss to the Jackets. That game cost them for sure.

The process for completing your bracket and getting into the group is strange. I finally figured out the turns after several dead ends. If you are having trouble, keep plugging away.

UVA does seem like the current version of Lute Olsen's Arizona (choke city)

Hey Lute Olsen won a title I thought.
