it is kind ok looking like Albany, with a collision course with Uconn in RO32.
I am now getting mixed reports on policy with rematches of non-conference foes. I thought the first 2 rounds were avoided, at least the first - but some are saying RU/UM is still possible..
League matchups are usually avoided in the first 2 rounds.
SEC schools are not so tough away from home (e.g.Alabama lost easy to ND in San Diego last year - I was there)
any of those 6s in Albany, and its a quasi home game for RU

Cannot play Miami per rules. Miami will be a 5 or 6

Anybody else think Jerry Palm smells like mothballs and hand lotion? Cannot believe CBS actually pays this goofball to be their primary bracketologist.
What I don’t get is , they kept hyping that Jerry Palm will be on later and he was on for like 10 seconds, he named like 4 teams and then was done. No analysis, explanation. It was like they flashed to the crazy uncle that lives in the attic and had to get him off the camera right away.

Walton back to hyping washington st saying they are the Rome of the west 🤣
I thought he just stroked-out when UCLA didn’t hit the three to win that game. He was so convinced they were winning a few minutes earlier. I love the guy, he cries me up, but when you’re announcing for the conference, you can’t be that ridiculously homerish.

Duke is no longer a 6.. they are definitely a 5 (playing like a 3)
other than that bracketometry looks pretty good!

The color announcer is now praising both coaching staffs. This guy and Walton together would be gold.

Sh*tting ending of our OSU game. Most of us could sit but and relax a little more. (OK some of us may never relax until we hear our name)😎

Duke changing head coaches caused some fan concern early in the season.Right now with their elite talent expectations have changed .

Yeah, it's truly bizarre. I mean he's AWFUL on camera, like a shy 8th grader giving a presentation. So then why not find someone else. It's not like he's even good at the geeky side of his role.

Meanwhile ESPN takes it to the other extreme and has Lunardi blabber on through entire halves of games.

If we get in comfortably, let's blow up Jerry "Lotioned" Palm on social. Not about Rutgers though. Let's blow him up about the roadkill head, the mothball smell and the untaylored suit, hahaha. LMFAO! When I look at him, all I think of is "Mom! The meatloaf!!!"

P.S. No way this clown doesn't have a mail-order bride. I'd bet the house on it, ha.

I took a quick look at his bracket just now.

He still has Nevada in.

UCLA as a 3 seed (a lot of people have been debating if they should take Purdue's 1 seed)

Guy is a clown. Watch him change his bracket again last second.

Like the B1G standings, it is funny to see all the B1G teams grouped together in the NET, 7 teams between 30-41

#30 Indiana, #31 Maryland, (32 Auburn), #33 Mich St, #34 Illinois
(35-38 Miami, Oral Roberts, Nevada, N. Texas)
#39 Iowa, #40 Rutgers, #41 Northwestern
