how many tournament teams can you honestly say you've seen play?

I've seen at least 40 minutes of game footage of probably all but 3-4 teams.

Honestly though, this time of year my capping comes down to go to kenpom, look at how teams played away from home. Check for injuries, any other reason for line discrepancies, and bet accordingly.

About 40 I think

Watching games is overrated. I mean I watch the Tourney because I love it, but sometimes it leads to bias opinions because the numbers and the "eye test" clash. But back to the original question, I could honestly say that I have not watched most of the field live even once this year. I am usually busy during the day and I have 3 kids, so it's not like my pre-marriage days when I was able to watch every game I bet on that was televised.

Not many. Will check team's schedule before making a play. Usually just watch the last 5 minutes of a game that I have $ on. BBall can be a frustrating game to watch with all the runs.

58 of them

Who is in the tournament?

1

I have only watched Maryland play a few games vs Duke this year. I have not made a bet on college bball since last April. Maybe going to catch some steam or read a bit about the teams and matchups. I have no perceived notions or biases with any of these teams.

Have seen all teams play multiple times except for:
Albany
Southern
Pacific
Bucknell
Davidson
FGCU
NW State (have yet to see at all)

Not many. I missed out last night because I saw how rough mtsu was on their conference members. Complete destruction. After watching a little of the first half I knew they were having too hard of a time against st Mary's to cover.

Honestly the only teams I have not seen play this season is Albany, Pacific, Montana, LIU Brooklyn, and Northwestern St. I've seen every other tourney team play and followed their seasons.

54 this season

I have seen multiple games from every team save Albany, NC A&T, Northwestern State, Southern and James Madison... I am also a college basketball junkie though...

Teams that will surprise and win a first round or will at least give their opponent a scare... Davidson, South Dakota State, FGCU and Belmont... These are all teams that can compete if they don't turn the ball over and keep the possessions at a minimum so their lack of size is not exploited.

What do you think about Bucknell?

Louisvillekid1 · 03-20-13, 12:15 PM

With ESPN 360 and these links to all these games it really exposes you more. PLus all the degen's on this forum haven't sweated a NC A&T game already lol

Hotlanta Steam · 03-20-13, 12:16 PM

I think Bucknell has 1 star player and good role players... I would expect that they will push Butler deep into the second... I just have made it a point not to bet against Butler in the tournament...there is something special about them in March
