Currently 2nd, but will drop like a stone soon with Iowa, KY & UCONN out.

nudge me about payment in a few weeks. Good luck

Keep your eye on that potential points total column. See who has the potential for longevity.

If UVM had made a few more of their free throws, they'd have won that.

I got slaughtered but mainly on upset picks other than KY. Still have some potential. I knew Kentucky sucks but they looked much better at the end of the season and I bought in against my better judgement. Gah.

No KY. Lots of people taking it dry on that one.

Calipari gone - i'm not upset.

I'm the 12th member of my family to graduate from Kentucky. We've had season tickets since 1941. Last night's loss stings. I couldn't sleep last night. I keep reminding myself of what my grandfather said to me one time after a tough loss, "I've seen Kentucky lose a lot of games, and I'm just not going to get that upset about it anymore."

I don't mind losing to you maggots. I just need to beat my 19 year old son...

They just looked spent towards the end from chasing and dealing with Arkansas athletes all game long. It was a valiant effort.

Uncharacteristically missing free throws and open shots/layups is the first sign of being tired…..and they looked it.

Arkansas was very lucky. UVM was a better “team”.

*Note to UVM….get that Tarrant Center/upgraded athletic facilities done now….…..the UVM student athletes deserve better. Great kids/very competitive teams that receive very little support from UVM administration.

My rando strategy has me in last of those that filled out the bracket in potential points...

OOF.

UVM needs to play in a tougher conference. They are big fish in a small pond.

Ben Shungu is the local kid my son wishes he could be. A truly great story, grad student walk on. My son recalls watching Shungu in a HS final (at Patrick gym) and being very impressed.

My bracket goes down in flames if Va Tech turns out to be a fluke stomping Duke and UNC last week.

Yes..totally agree. Was just talking about that. The America East is kind of a dying conference….

UVM, UNH, Maine go into Atlantic 10 or Big East and let the rest of the schools….Binghamton, UMass Lowell, UMBC, NJIT, and Albany all join the NEC or MAAC.

If Rhode Island and UMass can compete in Atlantic 10…..or UConn in Big East….UVM, UNH and Maine can too…..(well, maybe not Maine…lol.)

*IMHO though…UVM will never switch. Administration will never agree, too much travel/too much money.

**I can see UNH eventually switching though…they prioritize athletics a lot more than UVM. (UNH pumps a lot of money into their programs/facilities)

***Sorry…back to the brackets. Have a great day watching the games today boyz!!

I shoulda watched a little more SEC basketball…..the SEC teams seem to be a bit “overseeded”. (besides Auburn).

They play some ugly basketball.

And UVM beat UNH. And always beat UMaine like a drum. What I like is when we play teams like Providence. They beat us. We need to play teams like that (#4 seed in the tournament) more often.
