Hi all, as I look at this weeks challenge, I look for strength. I see the power sits with Kansas, Duke, bama and Zona and I see the who the hell knows is riding with Clemson/Boise. Kansas, bama, Zona, and Duke are must picks. Clemson is a toss up pick and I'd limit my exposure to the 1 pts pick and the go Marq as the 2 pts pick. You heard it from the Champ!

How did they draw this up? Auburn and Iowa State in the quarterfinals seems kind of weird - arguably the two best teams in the tournament. And 3 of the top 10 teams in the country are in the bottom half of the bracket.

The TV execs drew that bad boy up. Gives them a guaranteed banger to start. Then another big time matchup if UNC doesn't poop them pants.... Then if everything goes right you get one of Aub/ISU/UNC taking on UCONN. Toss in a potential UCONN/MSU matchup and they should get some good ratings for that like they always do.

Hey @della, I got an obvious hypothetical for you. If Tennessee ever won the national championship in basketball, do you think they’d sit out the following year’s tournament? Again, purely hypothetical because, well, you know.

Tennessee is a University and I'm just a fan. Tennessee is an Orange blooded killer and I am sweet and merciful and thus lies the difference.

I got it at +14, which means I will probably push. 😂

Georgia 90, UNF 77. Well done!

 

[WeAreDePaul]

Georgia 90, UNF 77. Well done!

@Kevin Bryan better give some of that $$ to @fluoxetine since he wouldn't even know who UNF is if it wasn't for the holy grail of polls.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Georgia 90, UNF 77. Well done!

I hit it on a 3-leg parlay: UNF +14, KU -5.5, UK +6.

I was sweating it. Parlayed it with St Joe on the moneyline (Nova is terrible) and Kansas on the moneyline. UNF was down 17 with 55 seconds left.

$10 bet paid $67.62

Haha, you wish. You have to forfeit the 6 and 5 values, not 1 and 2, you sneaky bastard.

It wouldn't involve a Kentucky fan without some light cheating. Next thing you know, @kyjeff1 is gonna take a page out of Eddie Sutton's playbook and start trying to charge us for soft drinks.

Don't worry, you can always use your "Stupid fit" card to get out of jail free.
