Man they were fun to watch. Simon, Bibby, Dickerson, Bramlett, Davison, Terry, Henderson. I don't remember Pastner.
They make it stupidly difficult. Yahoo is even worse. CBS is by far the best

can't see them hving problems with G-W but the Cavaliers seem to annually nosedive earlier than expected. In 2001, they lost as a No. 5 seed to 12 seed Gonzaga in the first round. In 2007, they lost as a No. 4 seed to No. 5 seed Tennessee. In 2014, they lost as a No. 1 in the Sweet 16 to 4 seed Michigan State. In 2015, it was again Michigan State -- this time as a No. 7 seed -- that knocked them out, this time as a No. 2 seed. In 2016, they lost as a No. 1 seed to No. 10 seed Syracuse. And in 2018, they lost as a No. 1 seed to No. 16 seed UMBC.

This is also the first year Bennett’s been here that they haven’t had a starter out for injury IIRC. They have had piss poor luck in terms of that.

UVA has hardly "nosedived annually"
In 2001, they lost in first round as a 5 seed. Bad.
In 2007, they lost 4 vs 5 in second round.
In 2012, they lost to higher seed in first round.
In 2014, they lost to a 4 in sweet 16. Sooner than expected, but not an earth shaking miss
In 2015, they lost in round of 32 as a 2 seed. Bad.
In 2016, they lost in the Elite 8 Don't care what seed you are, elite 8 ain't underachieving
In 2017, they lost in second round to a higher seed.
In 2018, they made history in a really bad way. Epic. Bad.
So, I would say in last 8 NCAATs, they've had 3 bad showings.

He was one of the "Gumbies" They were mostly walk ons who sat at the end of the bench and cheered exuberantly during games. One of them (Jud Beuchler) moved from Gumby status to starter and on the league. The story has always been that CJP walked on and treated it like an internship, learning the college coaching profession from Olsen.

Anytime until the start of the round of 64. The play-in games don't count, but you may want to find out which 11 seeds win in the first 4.

warning - There are two groups open - if you select GT Swarm (last years group) you can join that - about 8 already have . (Maybe it just rolled over and became current when folks selected it from 2018) I just moved mine to "GT Swarm Group" two entries per person this time .
