UCSB eliminated in the second round of NIT. Had a very up and down season, concluding with a nice upset win in the first round over 1 seed ohio. Thanks for running flex! can't wait for next year.

in please!

Thanks

We have our first conference final with #18 Boise State taking on #3 UNLV in the Mountain West.

That is crazy considering Nebraska is still awaiting their opponent from the first round in the Big 10

On a side not flex, i have Vanderbilt winning it all in my real bracket.

Final 4 are:
Kentucky ...

It is homemade, but closely replicates the real formula with just a few minor tweaks.

I thought it was the actual formula. I stand by the actual formula as I've followed it and seen just how accurate it is. I don't know about the tweaked formula. Perhaps it's tweaked to deal with some CC nuances ...

^^^
The RPI is quite accurate. The formula measures the pertinent factors in a realistic fashion. The NCAA Tournament would be much more fair if they only used the RPI. But of course the so-called power conferences don't want to give up control.

My 17-8 Butler Bulldogs are hardly much worse record ...

UCSB is in. Gold SW on the right shoulder and a moment of silence at the next game.
Very sad. I didn't know him, but still very sad.

UCSB moves within 1 of Santa Clara for the Conference lead. They started the season off rough, 5-11 (0-3), despite beating #22 Purdue (then #8) in the opener on the road. Since the rough start however, the Gauchos have picked it up with 5 straight wins, all in WCC play, to make them 10-11 (5-3 ...

Thanks for running rodent. cant wait for next season!!!

are you allowed to do that?

we'll challenge NYRAJF and PBecquey

I still wouldn't do all neutral games on classic. I like the idea of each bowl having a different map. Maybe the playoffs all on classic though? or the regional games on the region maps with the semi's on usa and finals on classic, or whatever, just some variation of it? Or are the playoffs home and ...

I'll play

sounds great! Thanks flex!! and great job with this tourney! extremely complex. No way I could do it myself.

can I have the celtics, please

Luxembourg, flat, chained, sunny

Thanks!

Conference tourneys will follow the format of the actual leagues...where everyone in the league makes the conference tournaments, but the seeding works differently from league to league. So you can finish dead last in the regular season and still have a shot. That's the wonder of college hoops ...

Hey, I'm sure I missed something so sorry if its already up somewhere and I'm just missing it, but how does the conference playoffs work? I'm trying to figure out how much ground I have to make up in the conference but don't know what spot I need to reach to make the playoffs.

Boise State wins big in the Military Bowl...takes a parade through downtown only to be pulled over by the police for holding up traffic.

Coach: "But officer, this is our victory parade?"
Officer: "Oh yeah? What did you win exactly?"
Coach: "We just be Pitt in the Military Bowl."
Officer: "The ...

So the stats show more games this year, but with fewer players. I think it's outrageous that so many people were allowed to take part in so many games - I thought the whole purpose of the Battle Royale games was to encourage wider participation? Ho hum.
This statement is incredibly off base. I was ...

in please
