2015 NCAA Tournament

So in the golden era of the NCAA Tourney (say 80s to mid 90s) were the rules different than today - specifically the number of time outs, clock stoppage after made baskets, shot clock? It seems these games all come down to the final minute and all these clock stoppages allow teams more opportunities to come back. The final minute plus of these games are brutal with all the stoppages they end up taking about 15 minutes in real time. Is the NCAA trying to orchestrate these exciting finishes by all the stoppages since I assume viewership is down in the era of the one and dones?

All these games are the same. If you're the underdog, just stay close enough that you can play the foul hope for missed free-throws, quick basket, time out game.

 
I would love for them to take out one of the TV timeouts. Instead of at 16, 12, 8, and 4 minutes of each half, just do 15, 10, and 5 minutes.

Nice! Three of the top ten in the Yahoo pool didn't fill out their entire brackets. Only submitted a partial sheet. Eileen is one of the three.

My theory is that the only people stupid enough to pick UAB over Iowa State were also the ones most likely to not get their brackets fully completed.

After some early craziness yesterday, the chalk has taken over. Only 4 "upsets" through 24 games.

 
Kentucky has no shot at winning the title if they play anything like they have against Cincinnati and Hampton going forward.

 
Got 15 out of the Sweet 16 right in my ESPN bracket. I'll take that.

Dang Villanova. I didn't like them going in but got suckered in.
