Time to let my freak flag fly! Ok, so no bag pipes. What I learned from watching last night is that Louisville may or may not be good enough to stop UConn short of the Semifinals. Huskies had Foul trouble and despite that were not outstanding on Defense though the key to the game was …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 2, Evening
Once again the division is arbitrary, I’ll drop it in the Regional Semis and Finals next week. As I say every year to TMC who rolls her eyes in that “You know you’re barking mad” way, only the first week is an insane crush of work. After that it gets much easier. Oh, and in …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals, Day 1- Evening
Oh, you thought I was being obnoxious? You don’t know how obnoxious I can be. Next time with bag pipes. This will be a very instructive night. You’ll be able to directly compare Mississippi State to UConn on ESPN. They are a powerful program, worthy of respect. Since they don’t play UConn head to head …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 2, Afternoon
Same Format as yesterday with New and Improved Results from the second day of the Round of 64. Actually there were a fair number of upsets with Iowa, Oklahoma, UC Irvine, Oregon, Washington, Liberty, and Ohio St. advancing to the Regional Quarterfinals. That’s 7 of 16 or 44% (well, 43.75%) which is pretty remarkable. Though …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals Day 1,- Afternoon
Letting my freak Flag fly. Ok, arguably Baylor had a better day than UConn because margin. They also had a weaker seed being #1 and all, I don’t begrudge them. Not so many upsets, there rarely are in the Women’s Tournament during the Round of 64 since there is such a difference between the Premier …

New and Improved with Special (and a subtly different pain in the ass) Table for Results. Oh, you want me to talk about it? Next week maybe when I’m not quite so sleep deprived and the load is easier. All about the process I am. Since I’m batch processing these you’ll get outcomes in the …

Ok, I’ll bite. WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU THINKING GIVING NOTRE DAME AT 30 – 3 A #1 SEED AND SNOOTING UCONN AT 31 – 2?! Bless your hearts (which you’ll recall refers to someone with an Oedipal Conflict in Dixie)! I haven’t been following Notre Dame so I just figured they were 32 – …

Did I mention exhausted? Yesterday I said that it only gets twice as hard from here on out and I don’t just mean that I’ll have to track both the Men’s and Women’s sides of the Tournament. There is also the tiny little detail that I’ll have to crank around Results, which while visually similar …
