The West bracket is hilarious

But overall there's a lot of potential match ups I hope happen

sportsjunkie · Mar 14, 2016

I think Duke gets to the Elite 8. they will overachieve in the tourney

I think Michigan State wins the whole thing.

there's not one team in that region I have faith in to win the ship. Oklahoma lacks depth which is going to be their achilles heel.

I am taking Southern to upset Oregon.

I have a hard time seeing Buddy and Kruger letting this team exit early.

I'm going with Maryland, Oklahoma or Kentucky to win it.

Thatd be great for HBCUs as a whole of that happened. Def major upside for Southern and the first 16 to take down a 1

They should have done so in 2013 but bad play calls and not making the shots in the finally 2 minutes put a stop on history that year.

Oklahoma can't guard either. I think they'll lose to A&M in the S16. They just rely on outscoring you. A&M could slow the pace down and make the game physical.

Is Oregon really that good? I think I watched them play once all year.

If Nova had more size I'd pick them to do damage. Ochefu hs a bad ankle or some sh*t , so who knows how he plays in the tournament

I got Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan St, A&M. I could def see Maryland making a run tho, they match up very well with Kansas if they get past Cal.

Kentucky very well might go farther than KU, wouldn't surprise me too much. Just saying I don't think UK got screwed with a 4 seed.
FWIW, I'm using top 50/100 because that is what the committee has used in years past.

Fair enough. But we are ranked ahead of A&M in both polls, RPI, BPI, Kenpom, Sagarin and virtually every other imaginable metric. Same exact number of losses to non-tourney teams. There's simply no justification for them being seeded ahead of us. Hell, they had Duke ahead of us on the 4 line, which is an absolute joke.

Not saying there's some grand conspiracy against Kentucky, but we do seem to catch the bad end of the committees incompetence more often than some others. :rolleyes

Ok, rant over... :lol:

Bring on whoever.

no doubt, they'll reach the elite 8 or final 4. but that's their ceiling imo.

Someone needs to post the group number so we can join.

Group number is 21681 password is niketalk

Retroballer · Mar 14, 2016

Going on a limb. Either Carolina or Kansas is out in the sweet 16 as the first 1 seed out.

Sonny Corinthos · Mar 14, 2016

Who do you guys like in the Syracuse vs Dayton game ?

Thinking about having A&M go to the Final Four...not a huge fan of any teams from the West Region...

Thought about doing this. D.House seems like a dude who could go off with Jalen Jones all the wayto the Final 4, or go nuts in a 2-14 from the field kind of way.

Cal basketball assistant coach fired in sexual harassment case
By Connor Letourneau, March 14, 2016

An assistant coach for the Cal men’s basketball team was fired Monday following an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment, according to a source close to the program.

University investigators concluded after a months-long probe that Yann Hufnagel, who joined head coach Cuonzo Martin’s staff two years ago, had violated UC Berkeley’s anti-sexual harassment policy, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. Details of the allegations have yet to be released.

Martin, whose team opens the NCAA Tournament on Friday, fired Hufnagel after receiving the report from the Office for the Prevention of Harassment. The investigation surrounding Hufnagel is part of the reason Martin — near the end of his second season in Berkeley — is still working under his original offer sheet and has yet to sign a formal contract with Cal, the source said.

Attempts to reach Hufnagel and an athletic department spokesman were not immediately successful.

Hufnagel’s dismissal Monday comes as UC Berkeley is under fire for its soft approach to sexual harassment incidents by faculty.

Last week, UC Berkeley Law School Dean Sujit Choudhry resigned in the wake of a sex harassment lawsuit that alleges he hugged, kissed and touched his assistant repeatedly during 2014 and 2015. Choudhry will continue receiving full faculty pay and may still teach.

In April, Graham Fleming resigned from his position as vice chancellor for research amid allegations that he had sexually harassed his top assistant. Fleming was permitted to stay on staff as a chemistry professor, but immediately went on sabbatical.

Fleming spent the past 10 months assisting Chancellor Nicholas Dirks with finding research collaborators for the Global Campus, a proposed satellite campus on Richmond’s waterfront, before University of California President Janet Napolitano ordered him removed from that job Friday.

In June, the university gave astronomer Geoff Marcy a warning after finding that he had sexually harassed female students over a 10-year period. Marcy resigned in October when the complaints became public.

Hufnagel worked closely with Cal’s backcourt, including all-Pac-12 point guard Tyrone Wallace. A dogged recruiter, he was involved in the signings of five-star prospects Jaylen Brown and Ivan Rabb last spring.

Hufnagel joined Martin’s staff as an assistant in 2014 after a season in the same capacity at Vanderbilt. Before his time in Nashville, he served four seasons as an assistant at Harvard.

He has been credited with helping develop former Crimson standout Jeremy Lin, now with the Charlotte Hornets. In its 2012-13 College Basketball Preview, CBS Sports named Hufnagel one of its nine “Dream Team” assistant coaches.

Martin is scheduled for an 11 a.m. teleconference with reporters to discuss No. 4 seed Cal’s Friday game against No. 13 seed Hawaii in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

FIRE ALFORD!!!!

Chopper · Mar 14, 2016

I have Virginia beating Purdue, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Purdue pull of the upset.

isu 42 · Mar 14, 2016

My FF would be Kansas, Duke, Michigan St, and Kentucky.

I want to pick non elite programs (Nova, Oklahoma, A&M, Virginia, Xavier, etc)to make it, but I think the coaches that have been there multiple times will get it done this post season.
