Brrly1 1,146 #76 Posted March 20, 2014 Jim, let's be nice. Yes the Hawkeyes lost but guess what? The Buckeyes lost also. They were taken out by Dayton. Hmmm, isn't that a MAC team? Looks like the Badgers out of Wisconsin are doing quite well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like the Badgers out of Wisconsin are doing quite well. Yep John, the Buckeyes were just way too "Crafty" for their own good. He cost them the game with his one man showmanship. Good riddance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,231 #80 Posted March 21, 2014 Well, there were some upsets yesterday (Thursday), but when you look at the brackets the 1's, 2's, 3's and 4 seeds that played all won...so no serious upsets yet... Man, there were a lot of good close games though...the parity is there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shorts 182 #81 Posted March 21, 2014 Definately some good games yesterday, I'm just enjoying watching all of these young men enjoy the sport before it reality sets in and it's time to make a living. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,231 #82 Posted March 21, 2014 Shorts, being 5' 18" I was wondering if you ever played. I think you would have been a force to recon with. Maybe we can get a game of horse at Scott's M&G...since we can never get a camp fire there. On the lighter side...Duke (a #3 lost to Murser (sp))...that almost makes the tournament for me. March Madness...here we go. Nebraska, Iowa and Ohio St. are out...we still have Michigan St., Michigan and Wisconsin... I like Michigan St. to win it all...Wisconsin to be a final 4...Michigan is over rated, but I have thought that all year... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shorts 182 #86 Posted March 22, 2014 I never was good at the "stick and ball" sports, but do enjoy watching the non pro finals for the sportsmanship and claim of accomplishment, Give me something mechanical to work on or compete with and I usually do OK, or just send me out in mother nature to enjoy and relax. The walleye capital of the world is in my backyard but the good fishing is in Alaska. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HorseFixer 2,012 #90 Posted March 23, 2014 I would think any team that makes it to the SWEET 16 Deserves to be there. Overrated Teams Cant get there by being OVER RATED! I said weeks ago If they made it that far I would be happy. I'm HAPPY! ~Duke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brrly1 1,146 #95 Posted March 27, 2014 If your team is still playing they've got two more games before the Final Four. Theres three Big Ten teams left with Michigan, Michigan State and Wisconsin. One of the teams I've been watching is Iowa State. They play tomorrow evening and they make it thru that game it lines up with Michigan State which undoubtley will be a tough game. I could only imagine all three teams make it to the Final Four. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,231 #98 Posted March 28, 2014 Here is the breakdown...by conference...of the sweet 16... American Athletic Con. 2 teams ACC.... 1 team Atlantic 10... 1 team Big Ten...3 teams Big 12...2 teams Big East...no teams Mountain West...1 team Pac 12...3 teams SEC...3 teams...note...the SEC only had 3 teams invited to the Big Dance 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rexman72 210 #99 Posted March 28, 2014 big east lost UConn so they are a weak conference 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,231 #100 Posted March 29, 2014 Rexman...you are right...a few years ago, the Big East was a huge, major conference in basketball. I wish I knew what was going on with all of these conference changes. The Big Ten will have 14 teams this coming year. Colorado in the Pac 12??? Nebraska in the Big 10?? The next thing that happens is we will have Appellation St. in the same division as Michigan. Watch out for rivalry weekend!!! Anyway...some of this tournament is about the conferences...I just thought it would be nice to know and look at it from a different angle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
