The title line doesn’t say “Preposterous Notions,” but it might as well. You can think of it thusly: Big Brain on Brett’s Big Bad (Bullshit?) Bracket. Alliteration: fun. Feel free to shred it in the comments, since it’s semi-ludicrous. However – it’s not any more ludicrous than anything else you’ll hear in the next 20 hours from your knowledge-is-power friends. Bonus: I’ll be in Vegas this weekend and hit the site with a few live updates. Let’s check the bracket. Read the rest of this entry »
This is the time where everyone has a theory about every team in college hoops, including about 72 percent of teams they’ve never seen play a bounce. It gets extremely tedious around Tuesday (i.e. today) of Round 1 week, so we’ll break up the noise for a second with a NFL mock draft. Jason had his post-combine mock draft; here’s a post-free agency mock draft. The draft is only a month away! Read the rest of this entry »
They went 20-14 overall, and 13-7 in the Atlantic Sun conference. Lipscomb or Jacksonville were the seeming favorites to win the conference tourney, but East Tennessee State – housed in little ol’ Johnson City, Tennessee – emerged as an auto bid. This entry will be short: the team started the season 1-3, with those three drops coming at the hands of Chattanooga, Morgan State and Louisville. The last one doesn’t look so bad anymore, but the first two … whoa now. Read the rest of this entry »
St. Mary’s got in by routing Gonzaga, a team that had beaten them twice this season. So now, the Gaels – 26-5, 11-3 in conference – are dancing, a year after one of the bigger bubble screwjobs in the last half-decade was perpetuated uponst them. Now the question is: how far can they dance? Read the rest of this entry »
The Longhorns might be the definition of “imploding” this season. They got all the way to No. 1 in mid-January; by late February, they were out of the polls entirely. That’s what happens when you start dropping games like panties in a frat house, including to non-tourney teams such as Connecticut and Oklahoma. It’s Big 12 Tournament time and Texas, despite being an epic fail this season, is nonetheless loaded. Let’s go ahead and say they can win it. How preposterous is this? Read the rest of this entry »
They’re 30-4 (17-1 in the Ohio Valley), their school resides in a town of less than 17,000, and now they’re dancing. So what should we expect from the Murray State Racers? Let’s delve into it. Why isn’t there a photo of Popeye Jones here? You know, the epic mugshot where he’s all busted up? Scroll down to the alumni section.Read the rest of this entry »
Headed to Vegas for the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament this year. It’s incredibly cliche and I realize that, so feel free to let me have it in the comments. On an e-mail chain with a ton of dudes regarding the trip, someone said, “Who wants to throw change on Temple?” This gave me pause. While I love the old John Chaney squads, I knew next to nada about this Owls team, so throwing change on ‘em seemed a risky, hasty proposition. I decided to do some research. It ain’t really that crazy. Read the rest of this entry »
Day III of “Can They Do Shit?” Even though the headline writer insists on calling mid-majors “sleepers”, in the case of today’s subject, Butler, it definitely ain’t no sleeper. The Bulldogs are 26-4, 18-0 in conference, and probably get to Selection Sunday with a top-10 national ranking. They’ve been around the tourney block a few times in the last decade, including Sweet 16 trips in 2003 and 2007. Let’s take a gander at ‘em. Read the rest of this entry »
We don’t talk hockey much on this site, unless we’re discussing the paramours of various players or showing limo party pics or whatnot. As a result, we will keep this generally brief; there are other, more pressing, things to discuss as the day unfolds — notably the Big South Tournament being underway (if you want to call the coach of Coastal Carolina and wish him well, his phone number is on this link). Let’s puck this up. God, that was a disgustingly bad pun. Read the rest of this entry »
Holla. Welcome back to the Terrell Montana Project, where I talk about the draft as if I know shit. TBL did a mock draft yesterday. For today, I’m going to discuss “stock down” (!) prospect Joe Haden from the Florida Gators. Read the rest of this entry »
