games I'm going to in bold.

3/18/2013 12:11:56 AM

My whole family (besides my sister and me) went to Southern University...they're pretty hype about making the tourney (though they will only get to play one game)

3/18/2013 12:24:46 AM

didn't southern make the tourney 5ish years ago, and play in the Greensboro pod vs. Duke?

if it's the same team, they traveled with a ROWDY ass band and cheer section.

it may have been one of the most entertaining things i've ever seen

3/18/2013 6:20:40 AM

^yep, in 2006

3/18/2013 8:10:44 AM

Gonna LOL at the folks swinging on Pomeroy's balls to pick Pitt to upset Gonzaga only to get Dixon'd in the first round.

3/18/2013 8:27:36 AM

Was hoping for some ACC games on Thursday so I could justify leaving the office. Guess I will have a decently productive week...

These seniors led the program to its first NCAA tourney appearance in six years -- and to the Sweet 16 -- last season. Do they have an encore for us in 2013? "

Nate Silver gives us the fifth best chance at making Final Four in our region at 5%.

3/18/2013 9:19:43 AM

All we have to do is give indiana's entire team the flu, then we stand a chance

3/18/2013 9:36:40 AM

people need to stop saying "jobbed"

3/18/2013 9:38:29 AM

Pomeroy killed the tournament last year fyi. I think I finished like 97 or 98 percentile.

And pitt isnt ranked ahead of gonzaga fyi

3/18/2013 9:39:51 AM

You mean Pomeroy himself did well in the rankings by looking at matchups, or going straight chalk based on his own rankings?

Monte Towe - never made the NCAAT here, makes it at Middle Tenn State

Damn, we got the national championship announcers for our first and possibly second games?!

3/18/2013 1:59:20 PM

Interesting stuff here. I picked out a few from their descriptions of the team including NC State.

3/18/2013 11:10:37 PM

^^only because we are in the same pod as the hands down favorite. (ibt louisville is 1 overall)

Yep. Some of the descriptions I thought were fairly obvious. But that's interesting.

I got Friday off work! WOOT WOOT!

3/19/2013 9:40:02 AM

Anybody know where you can download season results for all NCAA games played this season in an easily computable format (like .csv, .txt, etc)? A simple table with columns for Team1, Team2, and an indicator of home, away, or neutral court would be good enough to get me started.

3/19/2013 10:05:08 AM

^^ I went through and wrote down what I thought every team was...but I don't know how to go back and check it! I mean...I could go back and do every pick...but it would be a huge pain in the ass. I just wish they would list them!

3/19/2013 10:31:28 AM

"North Carolina AT&T"

3/19/2013 8:53:38 PM

what an awful game between st. mary's/mtsu.

i dont see all the hype about why MTSU had to be included. They are fucking awful

3/19/2013 10:15:04 PM

It's not as bad as the national championship a couple years ago

6 or 7??

Who'd they beat this year again? UNLV?

3/20/2013 2:59:20 PM

Is the March Madness Live on computer/phone free this year?

I thought I remembered it being like $3.99 last year but a kind gentleman on TWW posted the link to somewhere that had a free code.

3/20/2013 3:00:46 PM

You can only buy if you have a cable or satellite subscription, but yes

3/20/2013 3:09:30 PM

^^^im not complaining, but they finished 3rd and got to the acc finals

3/20/2013 3:24:52 PM

8/9 are 2 of the worst seeds in the tournament. much worse than 10-13 because you are guaranteed to play one of the best teams in the 2nd round.

10-13 seeds are guaranteed to reach the second round?

The #1 seed has beaten the #16 seed all 88 times (100%)
The #2 seed has beaten the #15 seed 84 times (95%)
The #3 seed has beaten the #14 seed 73 times (83%)
