Bracket Busted
UMBC puts a 20 point beat down on the overall Number 1 seed Virginia.

Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Clause, and Santa just delivered a 16 over Number 1 seed Miracle.

Guess everyone's bracket is Busted . . .

LOL. I suppose that's what happens when you play 6 OOC games in 3 years as true away games. UVa lost 2 of those too.

It's too bad the America East didn't just send their one seed Vermont. Then they'd really be in this tournament.05-stirthepot

RE: Bracket Busted
Now that a 16th seed has beaten a 1st seed I would be ok expanding the tournament to 96 teams. Give all conf champs a bye. And all 64 or so at large play an extra round.

Not mine. I had Virginia losing to Kentucky in the Sweet 16.

Kind of funny, considering Virginia is exactly the kind of team these guys say are vulnerable to being upset...teams that play at a slow pace and don't get as many possessions.

You have an off-day shooting threes and you're in trouble.

Loyola-Chicago downs Tennessee 63-62 (I think that's the right score)

And this, folks, is why the NCAA has cracked down on mid-major at-large bids.

Exactly. It's all about the money but they don't realize that people love seeing these type games.

I had Virginia and Arizona both losing early and Loyola making the Sweet 16. My South bracket is a wonderful thing of beauty right now.

Then you are a smarter man than I. I figured with that defense Virginia would still be good enough to make a decent run, even after losing that starter.

I only picked that way because I knew most people in my pool would pick Virginia or Arizona out of that region. I only picked Loyola because I would never dare pick Miami to win, and am not convinced Tennessee was that good.

I guess you can say I got lucky. I have Kentucky/Cincy in the Elite 8 with Cincy making the Final Four.

Okay, my bracket is now officially dead. I went upset heavy in the South, but I most certainly did not account for either Nevada or Loyola making the Elite 8.

Plus, I lost my National Champ pick with Michigan State getting Syracused.

The mighty Power 6 AAC goes 2-3 in the tournament and two of them lost to "G4" teams.

Lost 3 of my Final Four today with Xavier's loss to FSU. Ouch.

Time to burn the thing to pieces and cheer for major upsets.

RE: Bracket Busted
Well I was in Dallas for a hardware show, tired as all get out, so I blew off the UVA game.....I mean, #1 seed never loses, right?!

I watched UMBC play yesterday against Kansas St and found myself hyped and truly rooting for them to make the Sweet 16. Those kids hustled and played their tails off. I would rather watch them play than most of the games in the tournament.

So I do expect the selection committee to crack down on such shenanigans and make sure that at least 8 teams from the ACC, Big Ten, Big XII, and SEC make the tournament next year. PAC 10/12/14 only gets 3 again because they showed they don't belong at all.

Yes, we will for sure never see another mid major at large after this year. There is no way the NCAA is going to allow crazy stuff like this to happen again. It is ruining their whole concept of a True P5 championship.

This is all Loyola Chicago's fault! Them and stupid Nevada!

I do hope both those teams realize there is no way the officials will allow them to beat the Kansas State/Kentucky winner in the Elite 8. A Mid Major team in the Final Four would be unfathomable, and just cannot happen in the current climate.
