    Is there any way we can exclude the big 10 from post season games for a little while in all sports except hockey?

    They had Nash,looking back at it know it doesn't seem as big of an upset.

    Yeah I lost $70 betting it live. I lost $50 after getting on MSU when it was 15-2. Then another $20 when it was 67-64. You just assume the underdog team will cool off because MSU really was not playing that bad. But MTSU simply shot the lights out and beat MSU off the dribble or 1 on 1 in the list all game.

    This conference is bad for the tourney. It's always better to put small schools in the tourney. Their coaches and players take every game serious.

    I just saw a tweet that more money was bet on Michigan State than any other team in the tourney.

    1 player doesnt make a team. Nash almost blew that game by missing a few free throws down the stretch. Nash only had 10 points and 4 ast? Note sure how accurate this box score is.

    Books are keeping all the Michigan St futures. I'm in a 250 people high stakes bracket pool and 129 people in the pool have Michigan St as champions.

    Regardless of the spread Mich St was considered a #1 seed and top 3 team in this tourney.

    Best game I've ever seen a 15 seed play. Refreshing to watch a 16 pt dog attacking in the 2h with a lead.

    He seemed to have helped them out a lot more with his FT,8-10.

    Michigan State captured the Big Ten tournament title, boasted college basketball's best player and entered the NCAA tournament with the second-lowest odds to win the national championship.
    Middle Tennessee finished three games out of first place in the nation's 21st-best league, lost to the likes of Western Kentucky and Georgia State and failed to beat a single top-100 opponent in Ken Pomeroy's ratings.
    There was absolutely no reason to believe an upset was remotely possible in their opening-round game on Friday afternoon until the ball was tipped and the underdog Blue Raiders jumped all over the heavily favored Spartans.
    Middle Tennessee's 90-81 victory over Michigan State is probably the biggest first-round upset in the history of the NCAA tournament.

    Only on paper, neither big really good, neither can rebound.

    Oh ok. Mid Tenn wasnt really a 15 seed. They were actually a 14 but due to the stupid play-in games that pit the 16 seeds against each other, they got bumped down.

    Lets agree to call this a top 5 upset of all time.

    This is sensationalized bullshit. Ken Pomeroy...

    I suppose it's the day traders watching CNBC that always gets hurt the worst.

    This wasn't about Michigan State being so overrated as much as I think Middle Tennessee was underrated and the market was inflated.

    While I had Michigan State to win, it was by less than 4 points. I don't give a shit what the ESPN/Yahoo bullshit says about 21st best league and the likes of "blah and Blah" who beat them.

    Bullshit. Handicap the matchup the way a tournament matchup should be handicapped then you'll see for yourself.

    Mainstream news outlets hurt the sports player just as much they do the stock player.

    Fukking world needs a real sports market analyst to show people what really happened in the tournament. The mainstream wants to keep the sheep in the dark.

    This was the greatest upset in the history of March Madness. A 17 point underdog winning by 9 points? Never happened before.

    I'm really glad I missed watching this game, because I always, always bet MSU. Kinda still would want to watch just to see what went wrong. I read Mid Tenn started on a 15-2 run, brutal.

    I jumped on them right there at -8.5. Said to myself, I just got a gift.
