[NCAA Tourney] Who's got their bracket filled out already?

[Mark]

Up to the line, I'd agree, but that isn't "on" the line. Anyway, if we're not in agreement, then "inconclusive" *is* the right call. Besides, if it can go either way, it's always best to let it be decided on the court.

 

[Crothian]

once they go to the replay it is not being decided on the court though. the refs called it in favor of kentucky and that allowed them to continue playing. But the choice was made off the court.

 

[Mark]

But no one can lose it because of a call off of the court. It can still be won by either team.

Do you have money on your brackets?

 

[Darth K'Trava]

Makes ya wonder if any of us still have fingernails left after all these nailbiter games........

 

[Crothian]

no, no money.

 

[Mark]

no, no money.

Why the brackets, then?

 

[Crothian]

its fun, I enjoy it, but the odds of entering and winning are terrible so I don't want to throw my money away

Well, I'm only mildly cheering for the Illini, just because they're more or less local. I've also only been checking in on the games as they got down to 16 teams, and only toward the end of the games if I happen to be available to do so. So I've not really been much of a fan or nailbiter. If the Illini wind up as one of the final two teams, I might watch a full game.

 

[Mark]

That's "winning on the court"! They'll be in a much better mindset to possibly win their next game now than if they had the spectre of a win-on-a-replay-call haunting their victory. Everyone is better off for this result.

 

[Crothian]

you can't defend a call with the outcome of the game though.
