Tag: NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019

I can’t tell you how done I am with NCAA Basketball at this point, even though it’s been a relatively easy year from an assembly standpoint despite the data being the dirtiest I can remember. I am disappointed but not surprised by UConn’s exit, only to whom, and since State’s departure I have little reason …

Today we’re going to be rooting like hell for Michigan State because, well, Duke. Also Emily and Richard are State Alum and I could have gone myself except, well, Michigan. Auburn is worthy of mention because they’re the closest thing to a Cinderella left in the Tournament after their upset win over North Carolina. Interestingly …

Alas for Cinderella fans, Auburn was the only underdog to advance on Saturday. Results 3/23/2019 At the bottom I add 4 Results from 3/24/2019, Tennessee/Iowa, Oregon/UC Irvine, Virginia/Oklahoma, Texas Tech/Buffalo because Tennessee, Oregon, Virginia and Texas Tech are playing tonight on short rest. Sucks to be them. Unbalanced schedule due to TV considerations I suppose. …

Once again the division is arbitrary, I’ll drop it in the Regional Semis and Finals next week. As I say every year to TMC who rolls her eyes in that “You know you’re barking mad” way, only the first week is an insane crush of work. After that it gets much easier. Oh, and in …

Same Format as yesterday with New and Improved Results from the second day of the Round of 64. Actually there were a fair number of upsets with Iowa, Oklahoma, UC Irvine, Oregon, Washington, Liberty, and Ohio St. advancing to the Regional Quarterfinals. That’s 7 of 16 or 44% (well, 43.75%) which is pretty remarkable. Though …

Did I mention exhausted? Yesterday I said that it only gets twice as hard from here on out and I don’t just mean that I’ll have to track both the Men’s and Women’s sides of the Tournament. There is also the tiny little detail that I’ll have to crank around Results, which while visually similar …
