If we call VCU by their full name, they are way more beatable.

Coastal Carolina and VCU about 170 miles apart. Same gene pool for fans?

OU Cougar

170 miles for coastal is as good as Paris. They ain’t courtin cousins further

Terrible.

SEC was good but not 14 teams kinda good. I think B12 better than B1G

VCU fans are surprisingly bigoted. I expect it from teams we have history with, but they're talking about vandalizing

I hope the church sends a bill to the university for the cost to clean it.

I know.

Not worked up. Just not impressed with VCU fans.

kccougar

I think Y05 is the one that got pre-worked up lol

its no big deal as long as they just use posterboard and not actual spray paint.

I understand being sad for our conference mates, but you all watched WVU right?

The last sentence IS the discussion though

Small consolation for teams like WVU watching from home.

The sad thing is they actually may do really well, but it has nothing to do with

Exactly…when you own a quarter of the bracket, I hope you “do well.” Ridiculous.

VCU makes it to the tournament very frequently and of course they're best known for their Final 4 appearance in 2011.

So against VCU are we Home or Visitors?

garyfan

Home. Better seed is home, right?

I'd assume we are home since we're the higher seed

Do you mean intensity?

Hinta

9:44pm

Sure, that wouldn’t hurt either.

You’re right. Not just bad. But like don’t score for 5 minutes terrible. It’s

Changing the default scoring is communism.

TCuz

9:29pm

Way too much credit for picking the champion, and zero incentive to pick upsets. Boooooring.

cougfanblue

9:30pm

Picking the champion is much harder than picking a first round game that you already know the teams.

TCuz

9:31pm

Yeah, but it shouldn't be the same as if you picked every single first round game correctly.

cougfanblue

9:34pm

The first round is largely pointless. Again, it’s easy when you know the teams.

TCuz

9:36pm

It's as pointless as you make it with your scoring system. More fun to have each round mean something.

Seed multiplier. I like it.

cougfanblue

You might have to manually track that like it’s 1990.

Just give prizes based on who wins each round or whatever.
