OctoberBlues posted:Nate Silver, don't you try to tell me that Duke has a 69% chance of winning, I don't want to hear that. I'm not sold on their methodology, they're giving equal weight to the S-curve and a weird blend of preseason projections alongside other rating stuff, would rather they just stuck to their own ELO guns or a mix of computer metrics. They'll tend to overrate teams that were overrated to begin with.

Always worth remembering UVA's entire system is built around mediocre starts to games and waiting for opponents to collapse from overexertion in the 2nd half. Butler is set up to give them some real problems though.

Glad Yale is doing well but already worried about them against Duke because Duke plays whiter than anyone. Good though that the potential Baylor-Oregon matchup looks like a no-go, that would've blinded most of the audience.

Ah, this is going to be the block with four uncompetitive games. I mean, Buffalo-Miami is actually decent but it never seems like Miami's going to let them closer than 6 or 7 points.

Benne posted:This is true. The worst at-large teams get the 11 seeds (and First Four games in recent years). Everything from 12 under goes to a small-school champion. That awful Georgia team from (checks) 2008 got a 14-seed after freakishly winning the SEC tournament, but that's one of the few exceptions. SeannieDarko posted:I know, but some may argue that a FGCU should have a better seed and a Tulsa get a 16. If the tournament were just the best 68 teams in the country with no conferences taken into account, Tulsa would have gotten in and FGCU would not. Tulsa didn't deserve an at-large, but having gotten one they are clearly better than FGCU and should be seeded higher. elentar fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Mar 18, 2016 |

Did Larraņaga start using the tilde in his name when he went to Miami, or just in the last year or so, or what? Could have sworn I never saw it there in the George Mason days.

Fresno's bringing it back against Utah, who had really no business being a 3 seed.

It would be really hilarious if Stony Brook was the team that prevented Kentucky and Indiana from getting a game in.

I don't think either Providence or UNC has a chance against UNC but it'd be a lot more fun watching USC try.

Odd day. Wichita and Gonzaga are more down to the committee loving up seeding than anything else but I guess Little Rock and Yale will do for now. Roll on day 2.
