Add one more.

My teenage grandson says it's incorrect to refer to basketball leagues as BCS leagues, since that refers to Bowl Championship Series, which is obviously football. I don't know if that's right or not, but I hear the commentators referring to those leagues as "power conferences". Have we ever heard BCS applied to the basketball teams from those leagues? I don't really know what the correct term is.

Technically he is correct, of course. It is just a matter of convenience, since when you use that term you know exactly which six conference you intend.

7. Murray State over Vandy

I hated to see that one, because I really like Vandy, but hurray for the little guys anyway.

That was the best ending so far. I real buzzer beater. I like Vandy as well, but in the case I had to pull for the underdog.

I'm 7 out of 7 so far. Pappy I used a simple spreadsheet and took 3 basic stats (with a few adjustments for things such injuries, etc.) for each team to see how accurate my picks would be this year. I'm amazed of the results so far. Sorry PTJR, I was going to root for Richmond but according to my calculations St. Mary's had the better team stat wise.

Play them a couple times and get a dose of their elitist fans, and you won't like them much. Most arrogant and rude folk I've ever been around......and it happens every time the Blue Raiders play at Vandy (in any sport).

Pappy, I sent you a PM. I didn't want to bore the board with some theories I wanted to test this tournament season. So far, I'm 26 of 32. The games I didn't pick correctly have all came down to a few points. However, that Georgetown game killed me.

Thanks. As you refine it, I would be very interested to know how it works.
