If not for the name on their jersey, Wiscy would be a 3 or 4 seed.

Alot of masculine women in Alabama.

I see Arkansas and LSU as the worst draws we could get in the tournament. They are both really good defensively.

 

[Adam2014]

Will Wade got a tech!

 

[Adam2014]

I love seeing little Napoleon get pissed.

You mean Checkerboards?

If he's the same guy as the supposedly professional writer/troll.

I wish we played the early game. I wanna make fun of Auburn so bad, but scared I'll jinx us .

Debunking Wisconsin:

Though currently projected a 2-seed by multiple outlets that understand and have insight into the committee...here's why it's bonkers. Despite them being an "impressive" 12-2 on road/neutral games and 8-3 in Q1 games (both appear really good and are 2-seed caliber, if not 1-seed)...


They're NET ranking is 21st.

KenPom has them 31st...

Vegas gives them the 16th best chance of winning it all...

What gives?

A good hint is that their KenPom "luck" rating is #7 out of 350+ teams. Aka they're winning a bunch of very close games. And we all know luck isn't a real thing and everyone regresses to the mean eventually.


A shallow dive reveals:

Out of 24 wins, 19 of them were by 10 points or less (80%). For comparison, out of our 23 wins, only 10 were by 10 or less (44%)

Out of the same 24 wins, a whopping 12 of them were merely by 5 or less (50%). UT? A measly 3 (13%).

Wisconsin could rarely build comfortable leads and won at an unusually high rate in what were close to tossups...maybe 60/40s....maybe even 70/30s at best, within the last few minutes of the game. And yet they won an absurd 86% of games within 5 points. That is mere positive variance and they are no true 2 seed. They are the "10-2 #12 Northwestern football team of 2015" going into our bowl game.

We are better.

That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

Garner - Ruth's Chris
Ekeler - Chop House
Golesh - Longhorn
Mack - Hooters

They call him Coach Mack for a reason.... I'll see myself out

 

[Devo182]

They have lost 4 out of 9 of their last games. Going through some things-- similar to Lady Vols but without the injuries.

If only there was a team 9-1 out of their last 10 games...including 3 top-15 wins...while beating the aforementioned team...out there to take their place on the 2 line...

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Have a feeling Auburn wasn't really focused on this game so much.

Since Flannagan got hurt, they haven't been the same. I don't expect much past the S16 from them.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Prolly took the free, helpful advice Caleb gave us before the Arkansas game.

You wish that was me

Joe Buck leaving Fox for ESPN is awesome! No more monotone Super Bowl calls and unknowledgeable World Series play by plays.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I'm not

 

[Theshag]

Notae is really good. I keep hearing a woman scream when LSU has the ball, they must have Will Wade micc'd up.

Joe Buck is soooooooooooooo bad

He doesn't give two sh**s about anything. He's got to be a piece of trash person to know in real life.

Holy heck someone please muzzle Karen. She's ruining the game.

Notae trying to will LSU back in the game with his play the last couple of possessions

Guess I don't really have an opinion on him, though he has a good "radio voice".

All I know is someone needs to clone Gus Johnson so we can have him calling every game. He is absolutely the best of all the current gen. Fwiw, the last gen had some greats...but these days it's like comparing John Ward to Bob. I don't hate Bob. There's just no gusto in his delivery.

Its killing Dykes that AU is about to lose

Dykes is a great announcer. One of the best, IMO.
