Grambling is one of the shortest teams I've ever witnessed. Purdue might squeeze by this one.

Wisconsin is way over seeded and James Madison was a ranked team that for some reason just lost their ranking for winning too much.

I have James Madison going to the Elite 8 - they were my “cinderella team” pick

They have legit talent. There is a reason they were ranked for the first few weeks of the season. Apparently going 31-3 just isn't enough to keep them ranked.

It's valid though. All of their wins are over QUAD 3 and QUAD 4 competition. Their strength of schedule is 320. It's unfair towards other teams who play steeper competition.

But I agree about this particular game. Wisconsin a 5 seed? On what planet? This is a 8 vs 9 in disguise.

Now, James Madison seems like a program who wants to challenge themselves. They're legit in football too. When the next conference realignment wave comes, I believe they will step up in competition.

Part of what is supposed to be analyzed is who a team recruits. James Madisons recruiting class is what made them a ranked team early. This isn't ball St or some other nonsense where a team comes out of nowhere by beating nobody's. This team was well known and for some reason going 31-3 took them out of the ranking for some reason.

Yeah. I don't see James Madison being a mid-major much longer. They're legit in all sports.

:burt:

My shit awful Huskers are still winless in the NCAA tournament.

And while he SEC has been getting embarrassed this tournament, we got completely dominated by the SECs 9th best team.

The hospital team St. Mary's lost to a Grand Canyon. A 5th seed from the conference I forgot the name of.

Alrighty.

Flyers go on 10-0 run to end the half. Thought they were done when they were down by 17. Too bad that 3 at the end of half didn't drop.
