| Oregon was pretty good in a terrible conference, wouldn't be surprised if they beat Virginia. |

they are definitely playing their best basketball at the right time.....would not bet on them beating Virginia, but it would not shock me either |

1 NCAA tournament bracket stays perfect into Sweet 16 for first time ever
| Quote: | Through 48 of the 63 games of the 2019 NCAA tournament, there is just one perfect bracket left across all major online bracket games: “Center Road”, entered in our Bracket Challenge Game.
By reaching the Sweet 16 unblemished, "Center Road" now owns the longest streak of correct bracket picks we have ever seen, shattering our reported record of 39 games, which happened in 2017 (we explain why we're so sure of that number below). |

I was surprised that this is the first bracket to make it to the Sweet 16 perfect.....I doubt it survives....it goes chalk next round. |

I was at the game. My Eaters expended a ton of energy on that comeback -- in the end the Ducks were simply too long/athletic. Helluva a season though...
31-6 |

congrats....yes it was. I was looking over your roster....you guys should be good again next year. Return your 3 top scorers, and it looks like about 6 to 7 of your primary 9 man rotation.
just a side comment, your roster is weird....you have 5 listed Freshmen.....7 listed Juniors and 4 listed Seniors. No Sophomores? Also, i had no idea what Doc's youngest son played for UC Irvine. |

| Tennessee went 0-3 against the spread this tournament. Rick Barnes is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Still, Purdue was oh-so-close to choking that game away. Both teams were awful shooting FT's. Crazy game. |

9 minutes in, and it is 6-6 
The Oregon-Virginia game was supposed to be the low scoring game of the night! |

Texas Tech-Michigan is a matchup of the top 2 defensive teams in all of college basketball. The Under! LOL. |

yeah, but their offenses are pretty solid.....Michigan is 0 of 9 from 3......Tech is 2 of 8. Michigan is shooting 28% overall, and Tech is at 35%. This appears to be more than a defensive issue, but I have not watched play for play. |

This game is in the refrigerator. I had Tech and Purdue both in the Elite 8, too. Along with the Zags and Virginia, which is up 8 at the half. Could be a good night for me in the LG bracket pool. |

I would be a little nervous about that UVA game if they keep allowing Oregon to stick around. |

| what in the world was Oregon doing? They were down 3 for about 5 or 6 possessions.....and they kept jacking contested 3's! Why were they not just still playing and trying to score easier buckets? |

That's their game. It's why they go long stretches without scoring. They had shots, and King had two straight in-and-out shots in crunch time, plus he also got fouled on a 3 that was missed by the officials. |
