    You're doing well Eric. My bracket is like watching a gif of a dumpster fire on repeat for an entire week. In the background, Tommy Wiseau is reciting his new one man play and you have no way to make him stop.

    Yeah, he will get hurt by his Homer pick, but for now is doing great.

    Practically everybody I know told me Oregon was fucked when Boucher went down in the Pac-12 tournament. Literally every game is, "Oh they lucked out but now they are going to lose." If Altman done this at Gonzaga, everybody would be on their knees kissing his nuts right now. It boggles the mind! Did he win almost 600 Division One games through good intentions?

    Yeah, if he did what he's doing at a mid-major instead of at a Pac-12 school then yeah, he would get more props. Duh. It's a lot harder to do at a mid-major.

    The program at Oregon was in tatters when Kent left. They almost went on probation and there weren't even enough players on the team for an intersquad scrimmage. And they still won 20 games and won a post season tournament. Gonzaga was hardly a crappy team when Few inherited it. So please don't give me that.

    Turning a mid-major into a national powerhouse with 18 straight tournament appearances is a lot more difficult than taking a Pac-12 school with recruiting power and taking a few years to turn it around. That happens all the time. How many mid-major powerhouses do you see other than Wichita State and Gonzaga?

    Exactly.

    You certainly beat me. I was trying to go with anti Homer picks because I know from history that my rooting interests never come through. You still might lose this based on the championship game, but your bracket is looking tight currently. Cheers, good sir.

    Since I started this competition, I'll try to come up with a reward. I don't have much money, so that is not going to happen. But, I could create a customized art piece for the winner. I could paint something personal for the winner, if that is acceptable.
