It boggles my mind that Ja Morant was a zero star recruit - LOTS of schools missed out on him. He sure is fun to watch. From all appearances, seems like a good kid too.

Trying to get my Friday scrub done, but the MVC isn't helping. I feel as though I can stay up to finish this thing - anyone interested in a late night/early morning bracket, or you want it tomorrow. There are a few decent changes. 100 likes and I stay up - GO

SDSU puts up a shot with 7 seconds, miss, mad scramble for the ball, ends up in Noah Locke's hands, 3 pointer from just inside the half court line..................GOOD - Florida advancing with a 71-68 win over SDSU. #Sweet16 bound

Iowa's shot hits the back of the rim and bounces into Dayton's hands, final buzzer sounds, Dayton wins 75-73. Toppin and Garza each end up with 28 so the POY debate continues on.

I'm going to check my results again, but right now it looks like I picked 67 of 68 (WSU over Louisville is my only miss) and I got 65 of 68 exact or within 1, not too shabby - especially since I didn't use my own metric. Bad misses were Missouri and San Diego St - I flipped them

One thing to remember when it comes to bracketing folks, the rules say, quite clearly in fact, that there must be 68 teams in the tourney, as painful as that might be this year, there will be a few undeserving teams simply to satisfy this rule.
