What is a seed?  Merely a starting place.  Although unlikely, IT is possible for two 16 seeds to meet in the final game.  Would lets say were, Michigan St., to be seeded as a number 16.  They would still have  to win all games to be CHAMPION !       SEEDING attempts to give a more favored team an easier path to the CHAMPIONSHIP.  Seeding should lead to  the best 2 teams playing in the final game.  However there  is always that upset minded team;  or  the chance that the favored team has a bad game, a stand out player is sick or injured.   For more information feel free to go to…     https://ftm.coursemateai.com/home 🏀 I tried to pin Artie Fischal into filling out a bracket.  The Closest I got was his Final Four.   One pick might throw you for a loop.  All Number 1 seeds EXCEPT one.  That one odd pick is TENNESEE.  What do you think about this. Sorry for the mixup on the bracketts.  I had them right to start with.   BUT when they the NCAA Selection announced the position of the bracketts they had them in a different order, (which is how I posted them).  I asked the friends and family if they heard the difference.  They all agreed.  So I changed my brackett setup.    I should have checked how CBS or other sources had them.  My fault.  (i guess).

This is where you can print your “OFFICE POOL” Bracket, Check the scores, etc. Yes I will have “MY PICKS” so you can compare your picks to mine.

To  print BRACKET:  HOVER OVER SHEET.  You will see a window at bottom with an arrow pointing down (second from right).  Click this button.  It will open a new window with the bracket then click the printer icon or go to file,  and PRINT. The NCAA has named replacement teams in the event any team is unable to start the tournament due to COVID-19.  The 4 teams are Louisville, Colorado State, St. Louis and Mississippi.  These teams were the first 4 to miss the cut.  After Tournament starts there will be no replacements.  Any team deemed unable to play will be considered a “NO CONTEST” , and team still able to play will automatically advance. Tournament may have to have to switch days the East Region and Midwest Region play their Sweet 16 games.  If number 6 seed BYU advances to SWEET SIXTEEN.  The reason is; the East Region is scheduled to play on Sunday March 28.   BYU being a Mormon, (Latter Day Saints), have a strict rule of not playing games on SUNDAY.  Out of respect for the religion NCAA has agreed to switch the 2 Play dates.  NCAA  ANNOUNCES Oregon advances with no contest.  VCU Covid-19 Was it just me or did UCLA Coach Mick Cronin,  have a surprised look on his face after defeating Michigan St. Six Referees sent home from Tournament.  COVID-19 related.  I have to think Texas Tech Coach Chris Beard lost the chance for his team to advance.  Why did he leave his team playing the last couple of minutes as if they had a 10 point lead.  Letting them play a stall tactic, instead of attacking the basket.  The momentum of the game was on their side.  WHY?  I’m sure Coach Beard had his reasons.  We may never understand his thinking at that time; even if we know. I would like to see the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME played between UCLA; because they have come the farthest starting the tournament as a play in game.   AND Baylor,  because they have waited 61 years to return to the FINAL FOUR  Then I would like to see Baylor win the whole thing.  They are so long overdue.  The Baylor team last played in Championship game in 1948, getting beat by Kentucky, (who won their first championship), 58-42 at Madison Square Garden. TRIVIA Baylor in first FINAL FOUR  since 1950. Gonzaga’s last trip to the FINAL FOUR was in 2017. UCLA last appeared in Final Four in 2008. (Their 3rd consecutive appearance). Houston last made the FINAL FOUR in 1984. Star players that year were Ralph Sampson, Clyde Drexler, and Hakeem Olajuwon Arkansas 1st Elite appearance since 1995 Oregon St advances to ELITE 8.  After 39 year absence. St Louis mascot is called a Billiken.  A Billiken is a mythical “Good Luck Figure. ”    To see image of Billiken scroll to bottom of page.  Wisconsin snaps Roy Williams’ 29-0 first round winning streak. Oral Roberts University becomes 2nd, 15 in Tournament history to reach SWEET 16. The only other 15 seed was FGCU, (Florida Gulf Coast University), in 2013   MASTER BRACKETT ALL HIGH PICKS UPSET BRACKET Warning !  Do not look at MY PICKS.  please?

NCAA March Madness 2018

VILLANOVA 2018 NCAA CHAMPIONS. MICHIGAN    62          VILLANOVA  79  Notre Dame 61-58 over Mississippi State with a buzzer beating 3 pointer. 17 years after Notre Dames last National Championship…  NOTRE DAME 2018 NCAA Women’s CHAMIONSHIP !!! This gives the state of Indiana bragging rights.  Having teams win both NCAA and NIT Women Championships. IF Michigan can pull off the Win tomorrow night the Big Ten will have both NCAA Mens and Mens NIT Championship.  And a combined Men and women 3 National Champions in one year.  WE CAN ONLY WAIT AND SEE.  (I have no idea when OR if that has ever happened. Indiana Hoosier Women WIN WNIT 65-57  over  Virginia Tech Hokies Big 1o looking strong.  with two NIT Championships under their belt this year.    WILL Michigan be able to add the NCAA Championship to this list? Penn St Nittany Lions defeats Utah Utes 82-67.   WE ALL WAITED FOR IT .  AFTER ALL THESE YEARS A NUMBER 16 SEED UPSET A NUMBER 1.  NOT JUST ANY NUMBER 1.  THE OVERALL NUMBER  1 SEED.  AND BY 20 POINTS.  UMBC  UPSET VIRGINIA.  HOW ABOUT A BIG HAND FOR UMBC.  Can they go on and be a true “CINDERELLA” Team.  If they continue to play like they did today.  A real possibility. Alas the dream came to an end.  However, it may signal a new era of  parity in this Modern Era of  college basketball.  Seems we were treated, in the past few years with more 15 Seeds upsetting 2 seeds.  Now a 16 upsetting a 1 seed.   We will just have to wait and see, what the future brings. I can’t help wondering if anyone has a perfect bracket.  With only 2 number 1 seeds left; and 2 number 2 seeds left.  On the SOUTH bracket, we see highest seeds of  5 (Kentucky), and 7th seeded Nevada.  Remaining. The WEST  has a number 3 seed, (Michigan), and a number 4 seed (Gonzaga), yet on a possible quest to the FINAL FOUR.   The Right side, EAST, and MIDWEST, (for the most part), has pretty much remained intact, both with number 1 and number 2 seeds still in play. WELCOME TO OUR 2018 MARCH MADNESS.  I am not sure How many years we have been doing this.  I will have to look it up. (Pre-Blog days  Has been online since 1992) Warren Buffett has once again offered $1 million dollars for life to any of his employees who gets the final 16 correct.(there’s a 1 in 1.24X1064 chance of accurately predicting all 16 teams. ) Not everyone will go home empty-handed, though. Whichever employee’s bracket makes it the furthest in the tournament will win $100,000.  I wonder if anyone still has a chance to win it; NOW. This is where you can print your “OFFICE POOL” Bracket, Check the scores, etc. I will have A “MASTER BRACKET”,  “WHAT IF YOU CHOSE THE HIGH PICKS”  for each game.  An “UPSET BRACKET”  (if the favored team wins it will be in Green, if it is an upset it will be listed in RED”.  And, Yes I will have “MY PICKS” so you can compare your picks to mine. (And Laugh or Cry)  What is a seed?  Merely a starting place.  Although unlikely, IT is possible for two 16 seeds to meet in the final game.  Would lets say Michigan St  were to be seeded as a number 16.  They would still have  to win all games to be CHAMPION !    SEEDING attempts to give a more favored team an easier path to the CHAMPIONSHIP.  Seeding should lead to  the best 2 teams playing in the final game.  However there  is always that upset minded team;  or  the chance that the favored team has a bad game, a stand out player is sick or injured. Selection Sunday will be Sunday March 11, 2018.  At 6pm.  You can watch the Selections Live on TBS.  Something different this year.  ALL 68 teams will be announced at the beginning.  Teams will know if they are in or out before the seeding announcements. The First Four, (play in games), will be played March 13 and 14. On TRU tv.  All games will be played in Dayton Ohio.  Two games March 13. Two games March 14.   Time is to be determined later. To  print BRACKET:  HOVER OVER SHEET.  You will see a window at bottom with an arrow pointing down (second from right).  Click this button.  It will open a new window with the bracket then click the printer icon or go to file,  and PRINT.  Will only print in black and White. TO Enlarge each sheet: Hover over and select the square on the far bottom RIGHT. I think my sentimental favorite, right now has to First Time Ever entry the “BISONS” of LIPSCOMB ! I must say I am very disappointed, by the Selection Committee’s decision.  Placing Conference Champions in a play in position, while seeding others (with questionable credentials), in the set field.
