**** Vegas rigging things, the NCAA has rigged this shit with UNC getting shit teams like Washington (who plays the stupidest basketball imaginable) and a team like Pitt gets Butler (the equivalent of a 1 seed in tourny play) and Wisconsin (one of the smartest teams in basketball). Every year, the bracket is made to get media darlings like UNC, Duke, Texas, etc in to the big games by avoiding BASKETBALL teams like Butler, Wisconsin, Pittsburgh, "insert team with good coach here".

I'm not bitter over a losing bet, I'm just saying that the NCAA does a "very" good job of giving their sweethearts easy games against clueless teamsComment -
It's not like the refs were favoring the Tar Heels vs. Washington though.

LOL at this thread.Comment -
it might be a wake up call for next year. But what do i know, 1st time betting on march basketball. And it's in the high 90's of percentage that I haven't seen many of these teams play in regular season.Comment -
Your argument seems pretty poor this year. Duke has a tough region. Texas had two very tough games straight up against Oakland and Arizona. You could stick Pitt into a region with the women and they'd find a way to fukk it up.
I think the committee as usual doesn't do a good enough job of balancing the top four seeds in each region - but I don't see anyone who really got a cake walk this year based on original seeding - if anyone, I would have said Kansas.Comment -
Michigan was an unknown commodity before the NCAA's though. Nobody really knew how well they had picked up on Beilein's schemes. Oakland was a tough draw???? Those ***** couldn't guard me, you, and 3 people out of the stands. They can score and all but they weren't that good. Arizona is very shaky at end game situations, not really a terrible route to a Sweet 16 for Texas at all in my eyesComment -
I just have to laugh when someone says everything is "rigged".... also, the "line went up because the public was on them", and, same game, another will say "the line went up because the sharps were on them". Maybe you picked some winners, good for you, but very rarely are games rigged. Certainly not on a mass scale. LOL.Comment -
never said individual games were rigged, please use some sort of reading comprehensionComment -
Oakland can outscore about 85-90% of the teams and Texas was a team that lacked consistent scoring in the last month ... it showed again vs. Arizona. Oakland was a tough match-up whether or not you think it was - scoreboard showed that. And I don't know how you can say Michigan was an unknown commodity. Look at every top team they played .. lost to Syracuse by 3. Kansas by 7 in OT. Lost to Ohio State by 4, 7 and 9. Wisconsin by 1. If you didn't know going in that they were a tough out, then I don't know what you watched all year.Comment -
the ncaa is not rigged when they select brackets. the fact is, they are kids not pros, and anyone can catch fire at any given time. thats why pitt is out.Comment -
This same sort of stuff happens even at a high school level.
I used to respect your opinions but now don't find you the least bit credible. Sorry.Comment
