I wasn’t teasing Jasn for the misspelling but rather the fact he made the exact same post here and on Loyalty within moments of each other.

My guess is we have to deal with OKST and West VA to get to FF.
Then it is Baylor.
Then Zags if they make it.

Nothing easy.

Predicting how the tournament will shake out ain't easy either  8)

Really crazy to think that Gonzaga—the undefeated runaway favorite—still only gets a 1 in 4 chance to win. And it’s saying there’s only slightly better than 50% chance that one of the obviously best three teams in the country will win the tourney.

Watched the selection show and then all the breakdowns and analysis and almost everyone has us facing the Zags in the title game with them winning it.

12:15 PM start against Drexel. Not ideal for me, but oh well.

I don't love our draw, but, you gotta win 6.  Fuck it.

I’d take this draw over what the 89 team faced in a hot minute

The 8/9 matchups are some of the most brutal I've ever seen in a bracket.  LSU, UNC, Oklahoma, Missouri.   I actually think illinois caught a break getting L-IL/GT. 

I also wouldn't be shocked if Liberty beats Oklahoma states ass.

I think this is a year where chalk really means shit outside of Zaga,Illinois, and Baylor.
All of these other teams are capable of losing to almost anybody in the field.

Maybe. Loyola makes me nervous though. They’re really good, and they would be even more motivated than a normal opponent to beat the big state school.

Nobody else in our bracket makes me as nervous as them, actually. Maybe OK State.  That’s not to say I’m sure we will cruise through, and we do play down to the competition way too often. I don’t think our draw is bad at all though.

Although on the other hand, Loyola is a team that relies primarily on their big man, and we usually don’t have a problem with teams like that because our big man is better.

Kind of surprised that OKSt doesn't have more than 1% given all the props they were getting on bracket shows last evening.

Watching those last night, it seemed for the most part the ANALysts just throw out random, outrageous predictions hoping they'll get a couple right.
