Comment on Amateur Bracketology Revisited: Quick and Dirty Sleep Deprived Edition by Kevin

Thanks for the comments. I didn’t bother to assign the sets of games to the early-round locations since I actually did become drowsy while figuring all of this out. I imagine a few of the small schools are going to have some traveling to do. I agree, though, that it’d be cool to have the smaller schools be the ones playing closer to home in the Dance. I went to Monmouth University, and a few years back we played Villanova about an hour away in Philly, and when we put a scare into them, the small MU contingent suddenly grew and what was supposed to be a virtual home crowd for Nova turned into a pro-Monmouth crowd.

Assuming Clemson knocks off North Carolina, Memphis would become my number one overall seed. (We won’t have to wait too long to see if this actually happens.)

And I do sleep, but at bizarre hours.

I like your projections. Being from MD, I think the smaller schools(UMBC, Mt. St. Mary’s, Coppin) should play a #1 seed closer to home so that they might have a fan base and can enjoy the moment…..before the game starts. If NC loses today, will Memphis move up to #1 overall seed. I don’t think they will take UCLA out of the West.

Do you ever sleep?

Comment on March Madness: Mountain West Conference Tournament Projection by matt

Ha, San Diego State over BYU. I will quote Steve Fisher:

“We’re going to put in a
whole new offense and hopefully that will trick them a little bit.”

So just so everyone is clear, you are predicting a team whose senile head coach is instituting a new offense to beat a BYU team that is in the top 25. Looks like it worked for Steve, he tricked you.

New Mexico has the most to gain in the tourney. UNLV has the most to loose. And no one wants to play against Giddens right now.

Does a ticket to the women’s final get you into the men’s final?

Comment on Road Report: Chicago State at NJIT by Fabby

This NJIT team was initially thought to improve on its 1st season’s performance of 5 wins but they finally lowered the goal to 1 win this season….it seems there is a 95% chance right now (hard to beat Utah Valley in Utah) of becoming the 3rd team in 50 years to be without a win….on the bright side, next season they would be more competitive right now that the freshmen (more than 50% of the team) have become more experienced and the most experienced NCAA players would be lost to graduation….Bet they would all be training hard to improve on their accurarcy as they would all have 3 more seasons ahead….
