Lmao

People from WV are pissed because the state's fresh off the teachers strike and that asshole is traveling to San Diego to watch basketball looking like this.... lol.....

 

[HAWTakayama]

The city of Cincinnati should just swallow itself into a black hole and cease to exist after tonight.

At least they have their famous Skyline Chili, which they turned green for St. Paddys Day. Yummy

Kentucky's road to the Final Four.

Davidson
Buffalo
K-State
Loyola-Chicago or Nevada

But seriously, not their fault and as shown, being the higher seed means basically nothing.

Here are the easiest roads since the 1985 tournament expansion, by total seed numbers (eventual champions in red):

1991 #1 UNC - 47 (16, 9, 12, 10)

1990 #1 UNLV - 47 (16, 8, 12, 11)

2008 #1 Kansas - 46 (16, 8, 12, 10)

1993 #1 Michigan - 44 (16, 9, 12, 7)

1999 #1 Duke - 43 (16, 9, 12, 6)

1990 #4 Arkansas - 43 (13, 12, 8, 10)

1986 #1 Duke - 43 (16, 8, 12, 7)

1999 #1 Michigan State - 41 (16, 9, 13, 3)

2014 #1 Florida - 40 (16, 9, 4, 11)

2008 #1 UCLA - 40 (16, 9, 12, 3)

2005 #1 Illinois - 40 (16, 9, 12, 3)

1999 #1 UConn - 40 (16, 9, 5, 10)

1994 #1 Arkansas - 40 (16, 9, 12, 3)

If UK makes it, their total will either be 45 (playing Loyola) or 41 (playing Nevada). So yes, they'll make the list.

Look at how chalk-lined UK's road to EVERY Final Four since 1985 has been:

1993 #1 UK = 32 (lowest possible for a 1 seed = 30)

1996 #1 UK = 31 (lowest possible = 30)

1997 #1 UK = 30 (lowest possible = 30)

1998 #2 UK = 32 (lowest possible for a 2 seed = 26)

2011 #4 UK = 21 (lowest possible for a 4 seed = 21)

2012 #1 UK = 31 (lowest possible = 30)

2014 #8 UK = 16 (lowest possible for an 8 seed = 16)

2015 #1 UK = 32 (lowest possible = 30)

Even in 1998, UK just faced a 10 (instead of a 7) and a 6 (instead of a 3) to account for the difference.


Bout time the cats catch a break, i hope they take advantage

That chili is repulsive.

 

[Easy The Great]

That is some nasty ass looking chili

[Sharon Peters]

It's pretty obvious this year's tourney is fixed. Not sure why anyone would watch it.

Crazy first week.

 

[Losfer Words]

Nuts

That Skyline crap is more spaghetti sauce than actual chili.

Thought it was just spaghetti noodles topped with chilli, Cincy's most famous food. I saw they were selling frozen entree versions of this Skyline shit recently at my local grocery store.

I figured some sick asshole straight out of prison could make their own with a dollar pack of spaghetti noodles and a can of hormel chilli, and it would taste better than some frozen version.

I imagine the entire city of Cincy drowning their sorrows of Xavier and UC getting eliminated the same day in a plate of that sadness.

Raman, a pack of Kool-Aid and chopped up slim jims makes a great sweet n sour dish.....

I can't wait until this gets to page 35 so I don't have to scroll past that chili anymore

 

[Andersons Foot]

That'll be nice

 

[Andersons Foot]

Hopefully it happens soon
