    How in the fuck did Sparty and Izzo get shafted that badly?

    Virginia? REALLY?

    Georgia got shafted as well. 19 wins and a late season surge should have been more than enough.

    So Warren is doing his impossible, carrot-on-a-stick bracket giveaway again, but this time just for his Berkshire employees. Help me help my mom win a million a year for life; we just need to pick the first 48 games correctly. We're free to change picks until noon on Thursday.

    Wichita St over Arizona and then Miami (homer picks), Yale over Baylor, Little Rock over Purdue, and I'm liking all the 10 seeds in their first games (sorry Beaver fans) and Temple over Villanova cause Jay Wright on CBS by the second weekend. Butler over Virginia in the 2nd round.. bah, fuck this.

    What upset picks do you like and are willing to share?

    I'll comment on my two homer teams since you brought them up.

    That's the right call, at least for OSU. They're overseeded, missing their second best player, and will almost certainly have a "happy to be here" attitude since the team hasn't been there in 26 years. They're a great home team (a blowout win over Oregon, as well as Hope I'm wrong, but my bracket doesn't have them moving on.

    I think this is a bad choice. According to most computer models, Purdue is underseeded, and should be at least a 4 and possibly a 3. Fivethirtyeight.com shows them as the ninth most likely team to win the whole tournament. They dominated two inferior teams last weekend, Illinois and Michigan - and UALR has a slightly lower ELO and BPI rating than Michigan. Yes, the Boilers lost the Big 10 final to a highly ranked MSU team, but had two chances to take the lead or tie in the final minute, and could easily have won that game (and they did win the first game between the two teams, albeit in overtime). In the game immediately before the tournament, they beat Wisconsin by 11 at home in a game that was never in doubt. This game will be at altitude, and so depth is a factor - Purdue's much deeper than UALR, and while Purdue does have bigs who might more easily get tired, they have three of them, and can rotate them in and out easier than other teams. Purdue has also won 15 of their last 16 first round tournament games, their only loss coming in overtime; they don't usually get caught off guard in the first round (admittedly, that loss was last year).

    Now that I've said all this, I'm sure Oregon State will win and Purdue will lose.

    Yes, I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.

    They had a great late season surge, finished strong in a conference tournament and are an overall well rounded team with some mid-season hiccups. There are a few teams that I don't think deserve to have gotten in over UGA.

    I let my 7 year old daughter pick my bracket. She wanted to pick Chattanooga to win it all because she thinks the name is funny, but I wasn't going to let it go that far.
