6th annual USMB March Madness pool

Arizona was up 19-13 and are down at the half 38-31.

They look like crap.

I don't think their coach is letting them run like they need to.

They are matching Perdue's muscle, but they can't hit the broad side of a barn.

They are getting into their flow now, jeez Purdue's front line is huge.

Yes, they are and Arizona is letting that work against them. They should be trying to run that big burley white guy into the ground.

A couple of threes and I'll stop sweating like I do in my spinning classes.

Outscored Purdue 33-15 in second half....so far.

That's the deepest Wildcat team I've seen in 40 years.

Illinois looks like the Russian version of "Hoosiers". They can sure rebound!

They remind me of those 80's Celtics teams.

 

[Larsky]

Wow.

UConn pulls it out in a last second shot. What a gut wrencher.

 

[MarathonMike]

Holy Shit UCONN beats Duke with a 30 footer!! They looked dead in the water I'm shocked.

Michigan Arizona is going to be a heavy weight fight!

Yes, I remember, and in 1989, Illinois beat Michigan both times they played in the regular season. This was the best chance ever for the Illini to win the natty, and they lost to Michigan.

They say it is hard to win 3 games in a row against someone, it happens all the time in the NFL the 0-2 team wins game 3. I see a Michigan-Illinois championship game coming with Michigan winning it all.

They split regular season 1-1.

Michigan hasn't been tested like Purdue tested Arizona. That could work against them next week, at least that's what I'm hoping. Illinois eats rebounds so they should beat UConn.

Illinois blew out Michigan by around 20 in their last game of the regular season. Both teams have to get past talented teams in UConn and Arizona, UConn has championship credentials and we all know what Arizona has done all season.

I underestimated MICH from TMT start because they did not look good in Big ten TMT. They beat a very good SLU team in game 1 and I wished I picked them farther in work pool.

ALA did not play D against them. Mich dominated 2nd half. SLU did play D (at least tried to).

Same for ARIZ. I had Purdue to beat them. AZ dominated 2nd half. Have a very good big guy. But AZ lost to HOU in the Big12? HOU was not a great team this yr. You can only out hustle or bully weaker teams? Yet they beat UofA.
