Carter seems like the same player that he was here.

unless i miscalculated heh ... we are 11-1 in the first two rounds this year. so far the acc is the class of the tourney with 6 teams in the top 16 and this is without lousiville

You miscalculated... 12-1

Syracuse makes it 6 sweet 16. Excellent.

The lefty on UNI is on fire!!

Last 2 years ACC in NCAA Tourney
12-1 in the first round
11-1 in the second round
29-6 overall
6 teams in the most ever by 1 conference.

Also, keep in mind how the money works. It's basically $270K per yr for 6 yrs for each Tourney unit. So each victory is worth a little over $100K for a school over 6 yrs. Roughly every 6 wins is worth $100K per yr for 6 yrs.

Here's another great article explaining tourney units:

How many more wins until we can stop having"we don't have money to pay off the buyout" conversations any more?

Gonna get a bigger piece of the pie than that when it's all said and done.

I'm a premature celebrator.

Damn St Joes, Xavier & UNIor I'd have 12 teams in the sweet 16. Still can't believe that ending in regulation of the UNI A&M game. AWFUL!

All 4 of my Final 4 teams are still alive and that is giving me hope...

Nice work. Most impressive, imo, is correctly getting ND over SFA.

Also impressed with picking the Zags vs. 'Cuse in the Sweet 16. You knew 'Cuse would trash Izzo's Spartans if MTSU didn't get it done.

And the worst part of the scoring system is you look like a genius right up until UNC gets knocked out, then you're any old shmoe. Any disaster of a bracket with, say, Kansas gets to say you don't know **** about college ball.

 

[Peacone36]

In reality, this bracket would look a lot different if we had $$ on this. How many people have Maryland over Kansas FFS

It ripped the heart out of my bracket for sure. I am left to pull for Oklahoma to save my position in the Swarm standings, or pull for UVA for self respect.
