pmoehrin Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 It's been said a million times before, but I'm going to say it again.I hate the generic courts. I miss the old days when a game would be played at the Frank Erwin Center and all you would see is Orange. Obviously take away large school branding but at least keep the baseline colour and court type.Yeah it just has this bland feel to it. I get you probably don't want to be playing tourney games on something resembling Oregon's court, but this is the other extreme.Its even that bad of a court design. I just don't want to see it for every single game.What I don't get is why its such an issue for the NCAA. It obviously is because they are clearly going out of their way to have this. But your paying money for a brand new court that your going to use for a handful of games and then possibly never again. I could see that rational for the title game, but not for opening round games. It just seems like a waste of money because a few people are being very anal about what the courts need to look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbadefense1990 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Great. In the 9 games leff today, I can only afford one more loss for an overall 75% success rate for Round 1. Stupid Wisconsin and NC State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameroncrazie07 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 My picks have actually been going very well, so far *knock on wood* I've only lost one Sweet 16 team (New Mexico) and have only gotten three games wrong overall. That being said I absolutely need Kansas State to pull off this come back as I have them in the Elite 8. The Core 4 Sports Podcast Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbadefense1990 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Good on La Salle.Now for Minnesota and NW State to follow suit.Minnesota over UCLA wouldn't really be considered an upset. So many size problems the Bruins have in that matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameroncrazie07 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 What the hell was Kansas State doing on that last possession? What were they doing offensively for the final minute of the game? They practically gave it away after a great comeback. One elite 8 team down for me. The Core 4 Sports Podcast Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg_Fryman Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Watching La Salle play in the first four I had to pick them to beat KSTATE (glad I did) they are a pretty solid team I actually have them going to the elite 8 losing to Ohio State hope that works out. Other game I got for upsets in round of 32...... Creighton over Duke, Illinois over Miami, Oregon over SLU, VCU over Michigan and if UNC wins I have them beating Kansas. Hope I get them right I'm in a pool at work thats up over 4,500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
