Tag: NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019

I can’t tell you how done I am with NCAA Basketball at this point, even though it’s been a relatively easy year from an assembly standpoint despite the data being the dirtiest I can remember.

Today we’re going to be rooting like hell for Michigan State because, well, Duke. Also Emily and Richard are State Alum and I could have gone myself except, well, Michigan.

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 …
