Ho-Hum

By Yoni Cohen on Sun Mar 20, 2005 at 02:12:13 PM EST

Michigan State, Oklahoma State, and North Carolina move on.

Tom Brennan moves on (to ESPN).

Darren Brooks moves on (to the NBA, I hope).

Curtis Stinson doesn't move on (and returns to Iowa State for his junior year, I hope).

Villanova defeats Florida, affirming the Gators' inability to win in March.

Four Great Games

By Yoni Cohen on Sun Mar 20, 2005 at 12:32:30 PM EST

Iowa State is (just barely) in the hunt against North Carolina. Villanova leads, but only by a few points, against Florida. Ditto for Southern Illinois over Oklahoma State. And Vermont and Michigan State are locked in a back and forth affair.

Loving. March. Madness.

Mike Davis -> Tulane?

By Yoni Cohen on Sat Mar 19, 2005 at 11:59:09 PM EST

Has Mike Davis read the writing on the wall? Will he soon depart Bloomington for New Orleans?

Indiana University men's basketball players have told confidants that coach Mike Davis is set to take the vacant head coaching job at Tulane, RTV6 has learned.

Sources also said that IU Athletic Director Rick Greenspan is set to meet with the IU board of trustees at the beginning of this week, and that Tulane Athletic Director Rick Dickson wants to know at about the same time whether Davis will accept the Tulane opening, RTV6 Sports Director Dave Furst reported Saturday.

A reader emails...

to remind me that I accurately called Saturday's games in my preview for Fox Sports.

The Three Best: Cincinnati vs. Kentucky, Wake Forest vs. West Virginia, and Boston College vs. Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Check.

The Three Worst: Pacific vs. Washington, Oklahoma vs. Utah, and Arizona vs. UAB. Check.

P.S. Gonzaga-Texas Tech was, in my opinion, the fourth best game. And Nevada-Illinois the fourth-worst game.

% Win Scenarios

By Yoni Cohen on Sat Mar 19, 2005 at 05:41:56 PM EST

The most interesting feature of the Bloggers Bracket?

The % Win Scenarios feature gives you an idea of how likely you are to win your pool. Of all the ways the tournament might end, the % win scenarios for each bracket is the percentage of those scenarios in which that bracket wins your league. In other words, if your "% Win Scenarios" is 37.7, then you win your league (or tie for a win) in 37.7% of the possible tournament outcomes.

The % win scenarios isn't exactly the same as your percentage chance of winning your league, since the win scenarios aren't necessarily equally likely to occur. If, on the other hand, each remaining game is essentially a coin flip, then the % win scenarios does represent your approximate probability of winning.


Considering % win scenarios, who is most likely to win the Bloggers Bracket?

The Irish Trojan, followed by readers Terry Wood, Craig Cowell, Don Thorsen and Franz Hartl.

what is it about miami?

By Yoni Cohen on Sat Mar 19, 2005 at 05:31:33 PM EST

Bad news for Frank Haith?

According to sources in Miami, Hurricanes’ sophomore guard Guillermo Diaz may test the NBA Draft waters, which allow collegians to work out for GMs on the condition that if there’s no guarantee of a first round selection, the player may return to school without penalty.

Wisconsin-Milwaukee

By Yoni Cohen on Sat Mar 19, 2005 at 02:52:49 PM EST

impressed by coming back from an early deficit to tie the score at 14-14.

That being said, I'm still confident Boston College will find a way to break down the Panthers' press.

Update: Guess not. So much for hometown Homerism.
