The game I am most looking forward to today is St. Joe’s/Texas Tech. This game is a battle between overacheivers and underacheivers, the little guys vs. the big guys. The unheralded coach vs. the pompous jerk. The kids that aren’t on TV vs. the kids that are. You get the idea. It’s no secret I […]

The evening slate of games have produced much more intrigue than the daytime games. But this is how CBS sets it up, don’t they? Devin Harris has been held scoreless in the first half, where perennial Cinderella Richmond has a 32-25 halftime lead on Wisconsin. Pacific is proving they were the best of the Big […]

Its a final, Syracuse 80, BYU 75. Mark Bigelow missed a good look at a 3 that would have given the Cougars a lead. McNamara finishes with 43, good for 21st on the single game tournament record list. BYU coach Steve Cleveland got caught sleeping when he failed to remove Araujo after his 3rd foul […]

Some things to watch for in this year’s tourney, and yeah I am using the old region names: South Region (Atlanta) This is the toughest region in the brackets. People have projected a Duke/Carolina regional final, but what about the possibility of a 2nd Crosstown Shootout between Cincy and Xavier? Actually Carolina is underrated as […]

The most popular upset pick I am hearing is Texas Tech over Saint Joe’s in the 2nd round. The theory goes that Bobby K. will craft a brilliant game plan to vanquish the Hawks. Has anybody looked at Knight’s tournament record lately? He hasn’t made it to the Sweet 16 in his last 7 tournament […]

As the traffic of this site reaches its peak today, it’s time to give thanks to the folks who contributed to this site’s success. Even though it’s technically a one-man operation here, a lot of people chipped in to make things better. Many people have submitted corrections to the games file used to create the […]

Apparently it came down to UTEP vs. Utah State for the last spot. Andy Katz broke this news about 5 hours before the brackets were announced. I wonder if CBS is going to launch an investigation because clearly a committee member leaked this info to ESPN, violating CBS’s exclusive rights for revealing the brackets. I […]

I updated the Bubble Analysis below to reflect Southern Illinois’ loss in the MVC tourney. I’ll do another update if Gonzaga fails to come back against Santa Clara. They’re currently down 9 with 10 minutes to go.

This is the final bubble analysis that I’ll put a lot of thought into. I’ll be at the Mountain West Tourney this week, so my attention won’t be focused on posting here. This is the first year I have really tried to play along with the committee and I’ve learned a few things. First, the […]
