So... Big 12.. Over-rated? Or extremely over-rated?

Did every Big 12 team lose?

BTW, I meant to tell you all not to advance the Buckeyes very far. I said earlier this year they'd be a one and done. Nobody would be more surprised than me if they win any games here.

Yes, all 3 Big 12 teams have lost so far.

I picked OSU to win one.

Purdue got fucked. The guy who drove the lane for Cincinnati's last basket at the buzzer dribbled then took three steps the entire length of the paint.

ESPN Stats & Info - There were 273 16-for-16 brackets (out of 11.57 million) in the Tournament ChallengeThere were also 2 brackets that were 0-for-16

I got a 16 for 16 bracket once and got destroyed the next day.

Usually its 9-13 out of 16 for me.

Not bad. Best we have in the one I run at work is 14/16.

2 sad people had Iowa State in the finals, though.

Sorry about UNC Catt. They played well.

Think that kid from West Virginia will shoot his mouth off in the future?

New law in Indiana might have a huge impact on college sports.

Well, we're not in the SEC, so I'm sure the NCAA will spend months investigating.

However, it's just Braxton, and we're stocked at QB.

Wisconsin stops selling t-shirt, incase words are an NCAA violation.
One of the Wisconsin campus bookstore's best-selling Final Four-themed shirts no longer is available for purchase.
School officials had to yank it off the website and social media earlier this week because its compliance department feared the shirt violated NCAA rules.

The inspiration behind the shirt in question was the way Wisconsin forward Nigel Hayes has tested NCAA tournament stenographers by intentionally mixing in hard-to-spell words during news conferences. The bookstore printed a shirt featuring seven of Hayes' words in block letters: "Cattywampus, Onomatopoeia, Antidisestablishmentarianism, Soliloquy, Quandary, Zephyr, Xylophone."

MSU ate their shorts.

Kentucky can eat a dick. 38-1. Better go buy some more blue chippers because you know at least three of those guys are leaving for the NBA.

Badgers didn't have Dekker when they played the first time. Not sure Duke has someone to cover him.

Alright Catt, I just joined the Fuck Duke camp.

I was willing to look past the ridiculously easy draw they get every year, but that last five minutes was complete horseshit. From the Badgers getting massacred every time they touched the ball. To the whistles every time they tried to play defense. To the way every at home could see a replay, but the officials couldn't. The fix was in!

They're the New England Patriots of the NCAA.

It was a tainted win.

NCAA concerned about graduate transfers.

The only athletes getting degrees aside from bench-warmers, and the NCAA wants to "fix" it?
