  1. this kid is an absolute fucking baller.
  2. ugh i may be fucked as the reason i made that pick is on the bench with a foot injury.
  3. going bold tonight! probably dumb but we'll find out soon.
  4. yeah they are starting a little too early tonight and tomorrow for my liking, but they have done a pretty good job of staggering the start times where you shouldn't miss anything significant from any of the sweet 16 games. and of course after the sweet 16 every game is a stand alone.
  5. agreed i think sdsu is going to give bama a real game.
  6. found it! A big part of Izzo’s success in March is his ability to prepare his team for a new opponent in less than 48 hours, a key to victory when trying to get out of a regional pod. The Spartans’ win on Sunday means that Izzo is now 25-7 on the second game of a March Madness weekend, an incredible feat that speaks directly to his coaching ability. https://fansided.com/2023/03/19/tom-izzo-confirmed-march-madness-wizard/
  7. there was actually a stat they showed during the msu/marquette game the other day that the games in which Izzo is really lethal in the tourney are the ones where he only has a day in between games.
  8. maybe we reset if everyone goes out in the sweet 16 but split the pot if its elite 8 or later?
  9. i'm coming up with 65 paid entrants. still not sure i have every espn username correct (some of you can't follow directions for shit) so i'm not going to purge any entries right now and will just verify that the top 3 of the end of actually paid before distributing payments. 65 x 25 = 1,625 total in the pot. $1,125 to first, $325 to second, $175 to third.
  10. oh i definitely agree that it should be split between all remaining contestants who lose in the same round if it comes to that. ie if we all lose tonight it's split between all of us who are still alive right now.
  11. i don't think its going to hurt his draft stock at all (unless something else comes out). it would probably feel gross rooting for him, but i don't think it would stop the rockets from taking him if they get the #2 or 3 pick.
  12. i've never run one with this many entries. i think maybe back in the shaggy days we may have exceeded this but @blacklab always ran those.
  13. it's going to take me some time to verify everything (all was well through wednesday and then thursday morning was fucking wild and I was getting PM's and payments sent to me left and right for over an hour)- and i have to refund a couple of people's payments because their brackets never came through, but i have AT LEAST 62 verified payments (and likely a few more once i go through everything). this is my first day back at work since last wednesday so i'm catching up on a bunch of shit here but i should have a final tally by tomorrow at the latest. but again, at minimum there is $1550 in the pot.
  14. there were definitely some puckering moments but we're on to the sweet 16!
  15. its amazing to me that we're in year 3 of this and people still don't understand how it works.
  16. no shit. our fanbase is kinda dumb. losing a few games in the big 12 this year never = struggling. and to further the point, the fact that we were in position to play a 15 seed and then a 10 seed amplifies that fact.
  17. kentucky is dumb as fuck for waiting so long to foul.
