DAMN IT BILL

Posting at the same time. My Wayne’s World reference goes unappreciated.

by RPT on Mar 14, 2010 4:17 PM CDT reply actions  

The biggest argument Bill and I have ever had...

… is debating whether or not Kristen Wiig is funny.

I say nay.

by RPT on Mar 14, 2010 4:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

I did a google image search

still don’t know who she is. Haven’t watched SNL since Norm MacDonald was doing Weekend Update.

by leghumpingjihadkiller on Mar 14, 2010 4:26 PM CDT up reply actions  

Kristin Wiig is funny

but that character is horribly unfunny.

Agreed

She’s not entirely holding the show up, but she’s doing damn well to try.

She doesn't have to hold the show up.

She sometimes has to hold the female cast up, but the overall cast and writing are quite strong right now.

Don't know if you all are watching ESPN right now, but they just had to go to the review booth.

And after review, the ruling on the court is confirmed: Fran Fraschilla is still awesome (he made a hilarious comment about Allen Iverson not sharing the ball) and Joe Lunardi is still a nerd.

The Nerd-ardi has Missouri playing FSU as the 9 seed and Syracuse is the one.

I like that first matchup, the second not so much. However I would certainly prefer Syracuse over Kentucky, but I really hope the committee has Duke in our region.

I was watching them today against Mississippi State.

We don’t have a big man like MSU has and UK’s bigs would absolutely kill us.

South Carolina has no big man either

They’re young and prone to undisciplined play. That’s a good sign for our brand of basketball, which is all you can ask for with a 1 seed opponent.

Lunardi

has Michigan St. as a 5 playing Wake as a 12. If you told me 5 years ago Wake and Mich. St. would be a first round game, I would react with some form of surprise.

Lunardi has gotten 97.1% of all teams in the field correctly.

So it’s a good way to see who will get in.

He's good at gauging what bubble teams get in, he's only missed 1 team in the past 2 years.

And I believe that was Arizona last year, but I could be wrong.

"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."

And I've missed, I think, 3.

My point is, you want to analyze who’s in and out, I’m totally cool with that. I want to see that. But they’re ANALYZING A COMPLETE, FAKE BRACKET AS IF IT WERE REAL.

by Bill C. on Mar 14, 2010 4:40 PM CDT up reply actions  

To be fair...

They have to analyze 65 Inevitable Paths To Destiny (ahem)™

by RPT on Mar 14, 2010 4:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yep

Lunardi is near the bottom when you rank bracket projections. Plus, there’s more than just getting the teams, seeding is important. I was part of a group that projected the bracket at the Cubs site I frequent, and this is what we have:

Going by the criteria used to rank them, our projection was like 2nd of 60-some submissions last year. Hopefully Mizzou’s projection is a little off, cause it’s the same as Lunardi.

At least we’ll be able to watch the most courageous Broncos qb in years being courageously courageous twice a year. Courageous.

Kyle Orton sucks.

Even the Bears didn’t want him. The Broncos got burned on that Jay Cutler trade

by TheHamburglar on Mar 14, 2010 4:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

They are hot. They beat an awesome Wisconsin team by 4 even when Wisconsin shot 20%

and they absolutely choked away a game against Ohio State. Don’t forget how they made up 14 of 16 points in a deficit to Minnesota before losing and they also got dominated by Wisconsin on their regular season Senior Day (I say that because they got another Senior Day when they play in the NIT). If that’s not hot I don’t know what is.

"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."

by StopSpe on Mar 14, 2010 4:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

Okay, I'm getting ready to make my trifecta pick in the next hour. And because actually trying to pick a winner doesn't work, here they are!

If we get an 8 seed, I’m doing the “Best Rapper” which will involve Kimmy, Zaire, and Laurence (because everybody picks him on the fastest 40 seconds).

If we get a 9 seed, I’m doing the “Best Celebration of the Party Startingist Dunk Ever” which will include the Party Starter himself, Marcus Denmon, and some Coffee.

If we get a 10 seed, I’ll have to go with the most underrated clutch players, so it will go Kimmy (for his role in Marquette, home ISU this year, and A&M this year even though we lost), Marcus Denomn (who did great at home against KSU this year and really got hot to help us pull away @Neb), and Keith Ramsey (for what he did @ISU and vs Texas among others).

Alright, having thought about it this afternoon...

…I have the distinct feeling Utah State is about to get screwed. Here’s what I think will happen:

Last Four In

UTEP
Illinois
Minnesota
Virginia Tech

First Four Out

Florida
Utah State
Mississippi State
Seton Hall

I HOPE that’s not what happens, but I’m guessing it will. I can’t decide if they’re getting screwed in favor of Florida or Va Tech, but since VT went 10-6 in the ACC, I’m guessing it’s them. And that’s my final answer. Unless I change it again, ahem.

by Bill C. on Mar 14, 2010 4:48 PM CDT reply actions  

Like UTEP

I have a hard time summoning a lot of sympathy for Utah State. Beating BYU is nice, but when you only have one more GAME against KenPom’s top 50(a loss to St. Mary’s), you need to win your tournament, especially with 5+ bad losses.

More predictions...
  • Georgetown gets a 2 despite 10 losses (they always overreact to the Big East tourney).
  • Duke gets the final #1 over WVU (Duke > overreacting to Big East tourney).
  • Mizzou gets a 10.

10 is win.

Quick thoughts on Clemson from S. Carolina

I have often wondered if Clemson’s Trevor Booker is any relation to Melvin Booker…

I have seen them play a handful of times locally. They press like us, but they really don’t play good man-to-man defense and don’t trap as fiercely. One thing that scares me is that they’re bigger at just about every position if I recall. They’ve got athletes to match us, but they’re not as disciplined as we are.

If Booker doesn’t play well they don’t usually win. They have an annoying habit of getting way down in games and clawing their way back. So you can get a lead but cannot let up.

Quick KenPom rundown...

Clemson’s biggest advantage: offensive rebounding
Mizzou’s biggest advantage: Clemson’s offensive turnover %

Clemson can’t shoot free throws, gives up a ton of steals (not just turnovers, but steals), and doesn’t draw fouls; meanwhile, they force almost as many turnovers as Mizzou (most of them steals), they don’t give you ANY open looks from 3, and they crash the offensive glass pretty well.

Kansas Fans Already Propping Themselves Up As Victims.

I am already sick of hearing my KU fans gripe.

The bracket is quite tough but not the road they would have to take. They don’t have it any worse than any of the other #1 seeds when you start to look at who you’ll actually play.

A lot of people bitching about Kansas’s bracket.
Reasons:
Tennessee-KU lost to them
OK State-KU lost to them
Ohio State-Tough #2 seed
Georgetown-Tough #3 seed

Those teams are ALL on the opposite side of the bracket. KU only has the CHANCE to see ONE of those teams in the Elite 8. It’s not as bad as you think. They should walk to the elite 8 if they keep playing their ball. It’s not going to be easy from there in any bracket.

You want to know who has a tough road and got screwed?

We could go out. Hell, KenPom has us out if I saw that projection right.

Now, I like our chances to get to the Sweet 16. We are obviously evenly matched against Clemson, and after watching WVU last night, I think we can speed them up and take them out. Their length will be a bit of an issue for us, so we need to bring it—can’t play with them in the 1/2 court.
