March Madness 2017

I see Comcast has decided I don't get TruTv anymore. Lovely

Little 5'5" dude for Mount St. Mary's has 19 points and he can dunk.

I want to see them win just to see him (Junior Robinson) against Villanova. 49-47, MSM with 11:30 left.

That lefty point guard for MSM looks like a light skin Mike Conley.

First game of the madness goes down to the wire:

Mount St. Mary's 67
New Orleans 66

Bring on Villanova!

That was so dumb that New Orleans didn't foul. Mount St. Marys should have ran the shot clock down, than throw the ball 100 feet in the air.

it's too bad new orleans didn't win. i was hoping to see that player choke one of his teammates again.

That was unreal.

To the coach's credit, he sat his dumb ass the rest of the game.

Looks like another good game shaping up. And I am quickly reminded I don't get much sleep this time of year.

I thought Wake would take this one, but their defense seems pretty bad. Not sure K State wouldn't be a tougher match up for the Juggalos.

Saw someone [jokingly] say a Wake Forest/Cincy matchup would end up in the 100s.

Didn't know enough about either team to understand, but now I see how at least half of that statement is true.

Meanwhile, the Deacons are about to just live at the line. Mostly setup camp there all night, but they can go ahead and pay another month's rent. Bonus for the next 9 minutes.

 

[OhioState001]

Wow how are the refs gonna call that a flagrant?

 

[Jake]

Just saw the lamest "flagrant" foul call I've ever seen. There will be far more "flagrant" fouls in the final minute of any close game, and no one will bat an eye at them.

What a joke. Two minutes looking at the monitor for that. K State probably had this one anyway, but the way games are officiated late makes my head explode.

It has nothing to do with basketball but this song belongs here because of the title and because this song is fucking awesome.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Ok here is a prop bet worth looking at;

B1G total wins in 1st round Over 4 1/2 +167
B1G total wins in 1st round Under 4 1/2 -208

The implied odds of the under are just a touch over 68%

MSU vs Miami
Purdue vs Vermont
*ichigan vs Oklahoma State
Minny vs MTSU
Maryland vs Xavier
Northwestern vs Vanderbilt
Wisky vs VT


So 5-2 is what they would have to do to beat the Under. I know nothing about the opponents, I just know the B1G is dogshit.

I'm thinking the odds of them going 5-2, or better, are less than 32% which would make the under a +EV play

Thoughts?
