the mascot Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 usually someone is the favorite when they are the higher seedthe numbers next to the teams indicate their rank, and the higher ranks usually indicate the favorite team Quote
Muffin Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 hmm?Joe did you guess three or four right? I missed the last bits of that last game. Quote
babranski Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 Wow I'am for 12 so far. Pitt really busted up my braket tho <_<, now Washington doesn't really have to play anybody. Quote
babranski Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 Muff, their are 16 games today, 16 games tommorow. 8 games Saturday, 8 games Sunday. After that, there will be only 16 teams left, what we like to call the "Sweet Sixteen" Quote
babranski Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 thats why its called March Madness Quote
Muffin Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 so how do I tell the favorite, the people with more points? Quote
babranski Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 not yet, they play tommorow. North Carolina vs Oakland. They play @ Noon I think. Quote
Muffin Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 ??I’m surprised I like basketball, I know I don’t like that other league though. Quote
babranski Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 The favorite is the team with the highest seed, or rank. The teams are seed 1 - 16 in one of the four brakets, so theyre are four number 1 seeds, four number 2 seeds, four number 3 seeds, and so on. The teams are placed in each bracket to spread the best seeds apart. So 1 seed will play 16 seed, 2 seed 15 seed, and so on until the 8 seed plays the 9 seed. You can tell what seed a team from the little number next to the name of the team in the feild of 64. Quote
Muffin Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 oh I just saw it, now I get it thanks Joe West. Quote
Adam Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Gonzaga pulled out a close one... I was worried... Thats my national championship runner up... I can't believe I picked Penn to the elite eight... I am so much of a homer its not even funny... I probably would have picked Villanova to go all the way if they wern't potentially playing Florida in the second round... Go Gators... Tomorrow at 2:55 Quote
babranski Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 My paps has Villinova going to the big eight . I'll root for Florida until they play UNC. Both my parents went to UF. Quote
