NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Semifinals- Day 1

Alas for Cinderella fans, Auburn was the only underdog to advance on Saturday. Results 3/23/2019 At the bottom I add 4 Results from 3/24/2019, Tennessee/Iowa, Oregon/UC Irvine, Virginia/Oklahoma, Texas Tech/Buffalo because Tennessee, Oregon, Virginia and Texas Tech are playing tonight on short rest. Sucks to be them. Unbalanced schedule due to TV considerations I suppose. …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 2

Time to let my freak flag fly! Ok, so no bag pipes. What I learned from watching last night is that Louisville may or may not be good enough to stop UConn short of the Semifinals. Huskies had Foul trouble and despite that were not outstanding on Defense though the key to the game was …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 2, Evening

Once again the division is arbitrary, I’ll drop it in the Regional Semis and Finals next week. As I say every year to TMC, who rolls her eyes in that “You know you’re barking mad” way, only the first week is an insane crush of work. After that it gets much easier. Oh, and in …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals, Day 1- Evening

Oh, you thought I was being obnoxious? You don’t know how obnoxious I can be. Next time with bag pipes. This will be a very instructive night. You’ll be able to directly compare Mississippi State to UConn on ESPN. They are a powerful program, worthy of respect. Since they don’t play UConn head to head …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 2, Afternoon

Same Format as yesterday with New and Improved Results from the second day of the Round of 64. Actually there were a fair number of upsets with Iowa, Oklahoma, UC Irvine, Oregon, Washington, Liberty, and Ohio St. advancing to the Regional Quarterfinals. That’s 7 of 16 or 44% (well, 43.75%) which is pretty remarkable. Though …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals, Day 1- Afternoon

Letting my freak Flag fly. Ok, arguably Baylor had a better day than UConn because margin. They also had a weaker seed being #1 and all, I don’t begrudge them. Not so many upsets, there rarely are in the Women’s Tournament during the Round of 64 since there is such a difference between the Premier …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Round of 64- Day 2, Late Afternoon

Not really it’s own thing so much as an arbitrary division. I have no quarrel with Baylor being a #1, never too soon to see them leave. Late Afternoon Games   Time Network Seed School Record Seed School Record Region 3:30 pm ESPN2 5 Gonzaga 28 – 4 12 Little Rock 21 – 10 East …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Regional Quarterfinals- Day 1, Afternoon

New and Improved with Special (and a subtly different pain in the ass) Table for Results. Oh, you want me to talk about it? Next week maybe when I’m not quite so sleep deprived and the load is easier. All about the process I am. Since I’m batch processing these you’ll get outcomes in the …
