Pre-Conference Play Bracket: December 28
It's almost the New Year. The time of holiday tournaments in sunny destinations, made for TV power program matchups and guarantee games is in the rearview for most teams. It seems like a good time for a bracket projection. (seed list, trends) Late December and early January brings the start of the...
Who Sprouted? Who Blew Away? (First Weekend Seed Performance)
Well, the first weekend of the tournament is over. While Philadelphia was nice, especially after getting a reasonably priced hotel near the arena, I probably should've headed down to Miami for it. Four of the six games at the FU Center were completely uncompetitive, meaning I headed for the exits...
Don't Blame Me, I Voted for Kodos: Obama picking... Clemson?
Ohhhhhhh, Mr. President. How could you? You beloved state is reeling from the economic down turn. Jobs are evaporating like a pond in the Gobi Desert. The Big Three are in the process of becoming... well... nothing. We were counting on you. You campaigned in Michigan. You promised us your...
Line By Line - Reviewing the Seeds
Before we move on to the actual games (starting tomorrow night with the Opening Round!), let's take one more look at this site's bracket projection and how it compared to the real thing. As I always say (which means you'll undoubtedly become tired of hearing it), it's nearly impossible for one...

Quick and Dirty Review
Here's a quick recap of how well I predicted the actual bracket. Tomorrow evening, I'll be back with a line by line review. I'll first spend some more time reviewing the Committee's handiwork. 33 of 34 at-larges correctly picked (Arizona is the only one missing. I took Creighton instead.) 31...
IOWA ROBBED OF TOURNAMENT BERTH
BHGP had Iowa as a 7 seed in our Bracketology. This is horseshit.
Final Projection - Storylines to Watch in the Selection Show
I've completed my final projection of this year (seed list, trends). There are only a few slight changes from my last projection earlier this morning. These changes reflect some of the main storylines for tonight. Who gets the final one seed? Connecticut? Memphis? Duke? I ended up moving...
Opening Round Game Prediction
As Stephen F. Austin wrapped up the Southland crown by defeating Texas-San Antonio, my final pick for the Opening Round game on Tuesday night is Alabama State (SWAC) vs. Chattanooga (Southern).
