Pretty sure I'm effed in the avatar bet

No way @Peacone36. I haven't checked but my bracket is garbage. Only can get points from UNC now.

Main thing I'm learning from watching the tournament ... shooting, shooting, shooting ... we gots to get it. Put a freaking premium on it.

I have not done any research on this, but it appears several of the teams still in the tournament have multiple 80% FT shooters Do we have any?

Yea I've only got Gonzaga in the E8 so far with potential for only UNC left. UNC is only final four team remaining.

I was looking at this the other day. I think less than 5 games have been won by the team that shot worse from 3 point range.

UCLA is going to knock Kentucky out of the NCAA Tournament tonight and North Carolina the next game.

If that happens & Kansas wins I should win my office bracket.

I have UCLA beating Oregon in the Championship game.

I have UCLA beating Oregon in the Championship game.

Oregon and UCLA are in the Semis against each other if they make it to the Final Four. I haven't kept up much since my brackets have sucked so much.

to an ACC school!!!!

Several one & dones ended their season this weekend:

KU forward Josh Jackson
UK trio of Monk, Fox and Adebayo
AZ center Lauri Markkanen

Are there others?

 

[Peacone36]

Possibly Simmons at AZ but that would be ill advised

The salty UNC fans in the comments are hilarious

Lots of old guys left in the tournament. Just running through the top scorers for each team:
Zags: Jr, Sr, Sr, Jr, Fr, So, Jr
USCe: Sr, So, Sr, So, Fr, Fr, Sr
UNC: Jr, Jr, Sr, Sr, Fr, So, Jr
Oregon: Jr, So, Jr, Sr, Fr, Jr (Skipped Bouchar who’s a Senior but out)

Teams relying on young guys ended up falling short. Duke’s entire team. Josh Jackson went missing against Oregon. Fox has played great for Kentucky but Monk has been somewhat of a joke the whole tournament.

 

[jeffgt14]

As bad as my bracket was, at least Peacone’s was worse and I at the very least tied with kg01 with potential to move ahead. I’m pretty certain Peacone has officially lost the avatar bet.

You're inside.....take your hat off...

 

[jeffgt14]

And it looks like Cusejacket may be picking your avatar too

 

[Peacone36]

Oh yeah my bracket was used as kindling after the first 3 days.

The GF got 3/4 of the FF correct.....Safe to say the avatar bet is a cakewalk compared to what I've been enduring.
