<p>Wake Forest is up…big upset brewing…</p>
<p>Didn’t somebody arrange an online tourney pool last year for the CC folks?</p>
<p>I answered my own question. Anyone up to be commissioner this year? </p>

<p>Just don’t let my S know or he will cease to speak altogether in his addicted state…</p>
<p>I feel your pain. Or his too if he trys to explain the RPI. For the CC unaddicted RPI is NOT a school…</p>
<p>UNC over UVA. Syracuse pulls out another one.</p>
<p>I’m in! We are so upset over the injury to the Nova player tonight. And glad JJ hit a Save three pointer this afternoon…missing from his arsenal in the last two games. Hats off to that young UNC Chapel Hill team and expecting to see some upset challenge level play this week.</p>
<p>It’s good to be from Syracuse this week. 
:)</p>
<p>Two heart-stoppers in a row, and there’s a Christmas kind of atmosphere all over the place (i.e., people were grinning at each other like idiots in the grocery store last night). Everyone is happy that G-Mac gets to go out on a high note, after the disappointing way the team played for much of the season.</p>
<p>For my bracketology, I adhere to the Degrees of Separation method. How many degrees of separation from where I ever went to school, ever lived, DH or DS went to school (as if), friends went to school or lived, etc. etc. Bonus points for actually knowing someone who is related to someone who knows someone who is actually on the team. It’s all about emotional ties and nothing about predicting the actual winner.</p>
<p>Based on this scientific and time-tested method, our personal degrees of separation are looking a little hopeless (Stanford, Cal, Maryland), so I think we’ll jump on the 'Nova and Syracuse bandwagons, although we could dust off our 3-degrees-of-separation relationships to BC, GWU, Michigan State, St. Joe’s, Alabama, LSU, Marquette, Georgetown if need be as the Madness moves along.</p>
<p>Bah to Syracuse. I hope Pittsburgh smashes them today.</p>
<p>I’m in . . . let me know when we need to fill out the brackets!</p>
<p>I set up the group and will post a new thread.</p>
<p>Oh boy- we’re poised with the pencils for bracketology Sunday in my house! Unbelievable games in the regional tourneys so far- and so many amazing players stepping up, or being knocked down! (Gerry Mac and Allen Ray, respectively, for starters). Philly is in mourning over Villanova, and now St. Joe’s losing- although only for the latter is it meaningful for NCAA tournament play.
It’s non-stop March Madness fever here!</p>
<p>The ACC Championship game is causing quite a dilemma in our family!!! D goes to BC, and S1 goes to Duke!!! We totally love both teams, but I need to stay neutral during this one, and I am a huge hoops fan, so it will be hard to stay quiet. S1 is home for Spring Break and we watched both semi-final games–that part was easy–cheer for Duke against Wake, and even easier to cheer for BC over UNC (with a Dukie one NEVER cheers for UNC, or wears Carolina blue!!!) </p>
<p>Hopefully we won’t have the same problem during the NCAA tournament!</p>
<p>OK. I had to ask S. RPI=Rating Percentage Index.</p>
<p>Nice explanation of RPI in the children’s section of our paper today. :)</p>
<p>uconn!!! go big east</p>
<p>^^^
Eight Big East teams, too! Very impressive, but we (S, H and I) think Cincinnati should have been in as well, instead of Air Force (no offense meant!) to make a historic nine!</p>
<p>2 number ones . . .</p>
<p>Pitt was robbed in the seedings. Based on Big East tournament performance, should have been a three seed, four at worst. A five seed is an insult. Hope thry use it as motivation…</p>
