Bad day for us both.
Looks like Purdue is trying to lose as well.
On the bright side, now I'm 99% less interested in watching the rest of the tourney. I can work on other things tonight.

Our family still has a bracket. Winner picks dinner. And I'm in two other brackets. I dont think I've lost any final four teams. But man I sucked at calling the upsets yesterday. I did get Cuse, but that was it.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Not fans, assholes and probably gamblers. Fuck them. They should be banned from Twitter and all OSU events/campuses for life.

Well, that was a fun first round. In one of my brackets, I do have UCLA-Abilene Christian, so I should have gone to Vegas. 14/16 Sweet Sixteen teams alive (Thanks OSU + Purdue!)

Illinois looks like they want to join the bracket busting party.
My dad, former official, has had a theory about B1G bball for years and why they have been having bad luck in the tourney. He believes the physical style the B1G officials allow is a huge detriment when they are being officiated by officials from other conferences.

I've also seen many folks saying the seedings were an absolute mess this year.

A #1 seed is beaten in the first round for the first time ever a few years ago. A #15 seed advances to the Sweet Sixteen for only the 2nd time ever, but the 2nd time since 2013. A landslide of double digit seeds are advancing and upsets, which used to be more of a rarity, and now pretty standard. Meanwhile, the blue blood programs are barely getting in or not even making it.
What do you think is the driving force here? More overall talent? One and done players hampering programs? Seeding formulas failing?
March Madness has become more erratic, unpredictable, and fun. However, it has also become sloppy and less fun. Upsets don't really mean as much these days. Are teams really "Cinderellas" (overachieving) when half the field qualifies as such?
Considering the results lately, maybe we should be eliminating all play in games and such? Just let every single college in before the season even starts.

The #1 seed lost because they play a style of game that is susceptible to it. They are their own issue.
I think the pandemic has a decent impact. Young teams (Duke, UNC, Kentucky) didn't have the same time to practice and get together. Wisconsin had 6 seniors against UNC. Schedules were interrupted. Fans were missing, and still are from the NCAA.
The one and done certainly has an impact as well, since players that used to stick around 3 years are only around for 1, so the talent disparity is less.

Yahoo sports says by the committee's own rules, Illinois got fucked over by a seeding mistake.
I think it rolls into my dad's theory. Once Cockburn went out within the first 5 minutes with foul trouble, it was over. In the B1G, he probably would not have been in foul trouble.
Fair and agree.
I would say this has had the biggest impact, and also Steph Curry. He was a big fish in a little pond at Davidson, but pushing his team in the tourney showed you don't need to be a star at UNC to get drafted.
