Thats what Simien gets for fading away on that shot instead of going up straight.

[Dead]

Hey MD.

It's easy to criticize other people's picks when you didn't post yours.

Please show me your bracket where you picked Bucknell over Kansas. I don't think anyone on 2+2 did.

[bugstud]

This is what you get for employing Self /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[tbach24]

You make yourself an easy target when you react like this.

[Dead]

I don't care.

I shouldn't be chastised for picking Kansas over Bucknell. No one saw this coming. That's why they call it March MADNESS. Upsets happen. They're almost impossible to predict.

LOL

Why? No team has that much of an edge over another team. Because of this, the varience will be high and there will be a low chance of predictability.

[Dead]

I agree somewhat.

There is definitely much more parity now than there used to be. But I think that Kansas is a much better team than Bucknell, and that Syracuse is a much better team than Vermont.

7-10's and 6-11's don't surprise me.

But both Kansas and SU underachieved tonight. That's why they lost.

What I don't like are idiotic posts like this.

Think about it again. In poker terms: AKs vs. QQ, does QQ always win? Well, in a nutshell, we have 32 of these matchups.

That's why 16 seeds have been burning up the brackets in recent years.

This is completely wrong. Just look at vegas odds on many of these games. 1 vs 16 seeds are the ovbious ones, but there are other games where one team is considered to have a considerable edge.

My mom had Bucknell. No lie.
I'm going through the sheets for my pool, and as I'm crossing Kansas off of everyone's sheets, I come across one with Bucknell. Glance up to see who the f*ck did that...my mom.
WTF?

Obviously it's not correct. I was just trying to draw a similar situation from the poker world that he might understand.

[pshreck]

Whatever.

You had an earlier post saying no team has that much of an edge. Also completely wrong, and the Vermont and Bucknell wins were huge upsets, not to be chalked up to Cuse and Kansas not having a significant edge, which they both did.

[Dead]

Hey I picked Hampton over Iowa State 3 or 4 years ago. The 15 upset the two. It doesn't make me a genius. Upsets happen. 3 out of my 4 FF teams got knocked out in that bracket though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Obviously their edges weren't as big as you assumed. Before the 'Cuse game, I'd put them at a 60/40 edge, tops. Obviously that's an edge I'll take, but it's by no means a significant edge.

60/40 tops for a 13 vs. a 4? Call the bookmakers, they will want your bets.

That was obviously a tongue-in-cheek post. Notice the big grin at the end of it.

There's a reason I don't gamble (too much) on sports. It's because I'm no good and in general don't know too much what I'm talking about.
