NCAA 2nd round - First big upset!!!!

Finally!!!  We had the biggest upset of the tournament.  Unfortunately, it came at the hands of the team that I had pegged as a sleeper, but at least it happened.  We got a double-digit seed in the Sweet 16.  It’s not all chalk!!!

I am going to take this lesson from that game.  Last year I won it by picking based on a teams offensive efficiency rating.  Whoever had the highest rating, that’s who I picked to advance.  St. John’s had a god-awful offensive efficiency rating.  I mean, they were in the bottom 50 for 3-point shooting.  Watching that game, and seeing how many missed layups they had, not to mention how they couldn’t make any 3s.  I just don’t see myself picking teams like that in the future.  The NCAA is not kind to teams that can’t score.

Here are the updated standings:

I want to take a moment to point out the usefulness of the net points vs the total points.  If you just look at the total points, you would think Luis B. #3 or Daisy N. #10 were doing pretty good, since they are sitting in 3rd and 7th in points respectively.  However, both of those brackets had St. John’s going really far, so are much less healthy than they appear.  Luis B. #3 is in 168th place in net points and Daisy N. #10 is in 238th.  That probably closer to where they will end up with the absence of St. John’s.

Also, we are down to only 28 people that can win the West region.  There is always one region that produces strange results.  Maybe it’s the West this year.  We shall see….

Game 35:

Picks for Texas A&M: 97

Picks for Michigan: 99

Picks that will get 0 points: 76

Vegas Line: Texas A&M -3

This seems like a pretty even game.  Both teams are pretty comparable.  Both were in that 12-20 ranking all season long.  The big difference that I can see is that Michigan won the Big 10 tournament and Texas A&M didn’t really come close.  Maybe that’s not much of a difference.  Apparently it isn’t because more people took Michigan even though they are technically the underdog here.  That may be more a reflection of me knowing more people from Michigan than from Texas.  I’m hoping it is at least as good a game as the last one.

Game 36:

Picks for Texas Tech: 195

Picks for Drake: 37

Picks that will get 0 points: 40

Vegas Line: Texas Tech -7.5

Well, you gotta be loving life if you are in this game.  The winner gets Arkansas, instead of St. John’s.  This whole bottom half of the West seems wide open to me now.  I have no idea who is going to take it.  I could easily see Drake winning this game.  Why would you bet against Drake at this point.  They pretty handily beat Missouri in the first round, and they have a team that has more or less already won a National Championship, albeit at a D2 level.  Still, that’s more experience than most teams have.  I’m really hoping for a Drake upset here.  More chaos please!!!!!
