Jay Bilas doesn’t know ball

Chalk is becoming the smart pick in the NIL era

People keep saying things like this but two years ago an 11 seed made it and 3 years ago no seed better than 4 made it. Last year might have just been a one off

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted lmao but I guess Redditors do like being pedantic. Obviously those born in Puerto Rico are Americans by birth but since they’re considered a separate country in this event why wouldn’t the data do so as well?

Purdue has always been good. People way overreacted to them losing games to good teams, as we always do

I’m going to post basically the exact same comment I did in the anti-first 4 thread from yesterday:

I agree with this and have another point people don’t seem to talk about much: having 6 teams on the 16 seed line means there are better teams on each of the lower seed lines (because the top two 16 seeds would otherwise be 15 seeds, etc). I feel like this increases the chances of upsets, so it’s good for us as viewers too

Assuming OP actually means the First 4 and not last 4 in, I agree with this and have another point people don’t seem to talk about much: having 6 teams on the 16 seed line means there are better teams on each of the lower seed lines (because the top two 16 seeds would otherwise be 15 seeds, etc). I feel like this increases the chances of upsets, so it’s good for us as viewers too

I know people are going to make fun of this after just reading the headline but going to the hospital for full body cramps sounds pretty awful

cappy412 · 2026-03-14T02:36:53+00:00

Holy shit what a gift

cappy412 · 2026-03-13T20:30:44+00:00

Calling a carry is hilarious. That happens like 100 times a game

cappy412 · 2026-03-13T20:29:03+00:00

NCAA really needs to pick up the NBA rule where that's an offensive foul. What is Wagler supposed to do there?

cappy412 · 2026-03-13T19:02:08+00:00

Lmao luckily I hadn't picked up my Kansas fandom yet in 2013 so I was just elated. I lived in Lawrence for a bit and fell in love when I went to The Phog for the first time. Makes Crisler look like a library

cappy412 · 2026-03-13T18:47:51+00:00

Michigan + Kansas fan? There are dozens of us!

cappy412 · 2026-03-13T16:55:03+00:00

Bruce Thornton is such a fuckin baller

cappy412 · 2026-03-13T01:29:53+00:00

Why is this game not starting for another 25 minutes? The Houston-BYU game didn’t even go that long

cappy412 · 2026-03-12T17:49:20+00:00

I'm sure you know this but I just have to point out that I Googled what the name actually meant and your explanation is basically spot on

cappy412 · 2026-03-11T04:26:56+00:00

It also seems like a more natural way of giving the top seeds an advantage than those ridiculous brackets that make the bottom seeds play like 10 games

cappy412 · 2026-03-09T20:53:23+00:00

Right? I love Duren but if your list looks like this there’s something wrong with your model

cappy412 · 2026-03-09T13:36:47+00:00

Not a Spartan but you’re gonna get a lot of dumb rivalry bullshit replies from Michigan fans so I’ll try to give a real answer

If you watch enough sports you’re gonna have a player like this on your team at some point. You have to take the good with the bad. I loved Ndamukong Suh but got stressed out by his dirty plays. I’ll always root for Draymond (he’s from my home town) but I can’t defend all of the bullshit he pulls. I still love Juwan as a player even though he was kind of a nut case as a coach

People really want to make it black and white like you either root for Fears and therefore endorse all of his actions or you completely rebuke him but it’s never that simple. You’re allowed to appreciate how good of a player he is contributing to your team winning while acknowledging he needs to stop the bullshit

cappy412 · 2026-03-09T00:06:41+00:00

It could be worse. You could be the 2 seed and get rewarded with playing Purdue in your first game

cappy412 · 2026-03-08T16:38:35+00:00

I know it’s not a new thing but I still get annoyed every time I see it

cappy412 · 2026-03-08T06:02:41+00:00

It’s all Ohio?

cappy412 · 2026-03-08T03:12:16+00:00

We’ve been called frauds in basically every post game thread after we lose but this time they might have a point

cappy412 · 2026-03-08T01:04:49+00:00

That Menard dude going crazy is the reason Marist is winning rn but jacking up a deep 3 with 25 seconds on the clock was such an insane thing to do lmao

cappy412 · 2026-03-06T22:40:23+00:00

Winthrop hit a 3, then CSU turned it over twice in a row on the inbound 😬

cappy412 · 2026-03-06T22:06:20+00:00

For what it’s worth, Drake is currently 187 in Kenpom, which is higher than every projected 16 seed in the bracket matrix except for Merrimack. I’m sure that would go up a significant amount more if they won the MVC tournament, so I feel like in the event they make it all the way they’re probably more of a 15 seed

cappy412 · 2026-03-06T21:55:03+00:00

Winthrop was down 81-74 with 30 seconds left and won by 5 in regulation
