Why do we have to mess with a good thing? Announce the brackets and then analyze the games.

One of these coaches of the bubble teams is going to have a stroke before they finish.

Oregon St. as a 7 seed? They suck.

Monmouth won't be in

West is weak compared to the South.

 

 

Picking the games is awful. Just reveal them.

Duke ALWAYS gets in the weakest region. Every. Single. Year.

Full bracket released. Show turned off

Awesome. Notre Dame gets to play a s***ty team on short rest. I thought Michigan getting in was a joke but then Tulsa? How the hell do you justify Tulsa?

Big Ten seeds all seem low. Indiana a 5?

 

ACC got very overseeded and the BIG underseeded, except for Michigan who really should be a #3 seed in the NIT.

I am confused how Cal is a 4 seed while Maryland is a 5 and Arizona is a 6?

 

Can't believe Oregon St is a 7

Just accept the second round win and prepare for WVU

I was so relieved that happened. I didn't want to watch 2 hours of this.

Carolina, Indiana and Kentucky all in the same half of one bracket.

I didn't even have them on the bubble. Cuse too.

Indiana was just the #10 team before losing to Michigan. People are pissed they're a 5 but it seems reasonable.

You can't. Same with Syracuse. Pitt being out of the play in game is baffling too. Feel bad for Monmouth and St. Bonaventure

Jay Bilas had a great idea this morning. Have the committee's deadline be Monday of Championship week. That is when the field is set, and after that point the only changes that get made are when a team not in the field wins a conference tournament. Minimizes the impact of a 4-day tournament on a 4 month season.

NEW: Attorney for #Illini Jaylon Tate tells @schenk that woman recants accusation. http://bit.ly/1QVnqlD

 

Wow. Attorney for Tate received 2 emails saying that Tate was not present when this happened, and that the girl did it to herself.

 

If true, this is why women who do get abused are so afraid to come public because these kind of lies seem to be trending.

 

Hopefully she's not covering up for Tate or another athlete, but if she really did this to herself, just dumb.

 

Another thing, Tate got arrested, right? How can he be arrested if they had no real evidence other than the woman's statement?

Odd that this comes out right after the Duke Lacrosse documentary airs.

That's what I was thinking.

 

Question, does anyone else think that whoever claims something of abuse has happened to them and it turns out to be false (whether it's a man or woman), do you think that person should person should be charged/fined for filing a false report?

 

A lot of the time, if a person is proven innocent, they do not go after the person that accused them whether it's filing charges or suing for defamation.

 

What do you guys/ladies think of this?

Here is the problem. No court proves anyone "innocent". They find them not guilty. This does not mean that they were innocent, necessarily. It may well mean in a case that is a very, very gray area of law, the jury didn't believe without a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty.

 

That being said, if there is actually evidence of someone actually filing a false police report, and not just not being able to prove someone was guilty, then yes, throw the book at them. That is perjury if done under oath, and probably a whole host of other crimes too if they get to the point of a trial.

Kendrick Nunn arrested. Holy crap.

Groce shouldn't see another day at coach of U of I.
