Cujo Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Here's one of the brackets. He's currently in 1st place.http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/en/entry?entryID=1079446This mysterious second person must've done horrible otherwise, because they aren't on the leaderboard.I believe I already posted that.It was posted before Kentucky won, but yeah... And about the second bracket on ESPN.com that has the Final Four teams correct, haven't seen it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 By the way...My predictions:Butler def. FloridaArizona def. UConnVCU def. KansasKentucky def. North CarolinaAfter how crazy this tournament has been, I just don't see the Elite Eight going chalk.So you're picking all four lower seeds? Yeah... Not happening.Hey Cujo, three out of four ain't bad, and the only one I got wrong was a two-point game. I hate to say I told you so, but... I told you so. Yep, one shot away from being perfect. So close yet so far away. Just one little shot. All roads lead to Dollar General. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W. Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 The term "East Coast Bias" hasn't solely applied to teams actually on the coast in a long time. You know as well as I do that a lot of good players and good teams out west get ignored just because they're out west.

MDC Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 It's a regular season ranking, Kevin. JaJuan is way ahead of him in that regard. However, Derrick was amazing in the tournament. And don't give me that east coast BS. It makes sense, theres way more giant metropolitan areas in the east than the west.

RyanMcD29 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Are we really arguing between two players and their placement in either the All-American First Team or the All-American Second Team? Better yet, people get upset if a player's on the second team instead of the first?

cameroncrazie07 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 To be honest Williams does deserve to be on over Johnson, but you can't really call that "East Coast Bias". Johnson played a much tougher schedule night in and night out in the Big Ten. That's how I see it. The Core 4 Sports Podcast Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
