PrintWell, we're into the final day of the best weekend of the year, and it's been a good one. Kansas' loss has killed half the brackets in our challenge, and a few of the other favorites face some good challenges today. Hopefully we can end the weekend with a few more upsets.
Have fun, discuss the games. MMOD widget is below.

The 'Cuse is running away from Gonzaga right now.
Just what Kansas SHOULD have done last evening.
Wait, football season is HOW long away?
That’s because Syracuse decided to play defense before 5 minutes left in that game.
They run that zone so well, it’s sickening.

Yeah, Syracuse's defense is playing amazing.
Gonzaga is struggling just to pass right now.

It's more a taunt, isn't it?
Philosophically, it’s stupid. Why be proud about beating someone who wasn’t as good as everyone thought?
It’s like taking full credit for beating a #3 team early in the year, ignoring the inconvenient fact that they wound up 3-8. Yeah, BYU, I’m talking to you.

Because you have a young skull full of mush, I will explain.
It’s a riff on an old Will Rogers joke about how to profit in the stock market.

I can't even begin to describe what they did to Wisconsin
Their offensive efficiency was 146.5 and their eFG% was 68.5. They scored 87 points on ~59 possessions.
It would be amazing if they were to finish within 10 of Kentucky.
Who knows, they are a great 3 point team.

Dixon’s name has been bandied about. Getting knocked around by a lower seed might dull the gloss in the resume, at least among those who only care about what the candidate did in his last game.
How does one “bandy about”, anyway? Sounds like fun.

Why the hell not?
ban·dy
/ˈbændi/ Show Spelled [ban-dee]
–verb (used with object)
1.
to pass from one to another or back and forth; give and take; trade; exchange: to bandy blows; to bandy words.
2.
to throw or strike to and fro or from side to side, as a ball in tennis.
3.
to circulate freely: to bandy gossip.

I don’t really think so (in regards to hurting Dixon’s resume). Pitt has overperformed this year, and shouldn’t even be this good. It’s a credit to Dixon that they got a 3 seed.

seems that way.
’72 was the year college hoops really started changing. The rules changes that turned the game into what it is now started that year.
That year they changed the free-throw rules — back then, you’d get one shot if you were fouled and your team wasn’t in the bonus.
It was all downhill from there. Dunks, shot clocks, 3 pointers, no more set shots.. damn whippersnappers..

They let high-school players sign autos? Assuming they aren’t doing it for free, doesn’t that fuck up their eligibility?
