If Richard wins Louisville pays Rick his $44M he is suing them for...if Gophers lose Rick gets nothing

More like....

Rick: Hello, this is Rick. Say, my son plays you guy's in the tournament.

AD: Yes we know.

Rick: I think we can settle this lawsuit. You let Richard get the win.

Duke and Michigan St in the same region is fuckin ridiculous They’re basically saying Michigan St was the committees 8th ranked team despite their finish and winning the B10 tournament. Conference tournaments are basically exhibitions and money grabs at this point. They don’t actually mean shit.

3 Big Ten teams on that side of the bracket. Silly.

Good location for a crowd draw though.

How does Mich St get shafted and Michigan has easier road when they beat them 3 times

I think you’re right, but I’ll be rooting against them every game.

That was my exact point earlier. No fucking sense. Then the tournament committee chairman goes on CBS and basically says they viewed Michigan and Michigan St as 2 seeds regardless of who won the B10 tournament final. I’m sorry, what? How the fuck does that make sense when MSU swept Michigan and shared the regular season championship and won the conference tournament championship. Don’t play your conference tournament final on a Sunday is the message I guess.

I’m watching CBS, and Seth is crazy. Belmont over Maryland? UC Irvine over K st. And Oregon over Wisconsin?

He will complain about 3 or 4 teams not getting in yet won’t say who they should be in over.

There isn't a lot of arguing about who got in and who didn't. The debate this year is about the lack of balance in the regions and puzzling seedings.

I'm picking Gonzaga in my friends bracket. Too many people will pick Duke for that to interest me. I got tickets to the Saturday semi-final games. Hoping for the blue bloods to show up this tournament!

I thought the tourney would have started last weekend but this works fine. I am heading to Fort Myers/Naples on Thursday evening with my family for 5 days. Will watch the game at a bar Thursday then make my wife drive to the airport. #bombed
