Very talented team, they sacrificed u19 to win this at home. Topić in my opinion should have played for u19 team, but it's nice to win something at least. Bošnjaković who is one year younger has playe

It does mean it’s time for me to start watching college basketball though. The “one shining moment” of the season :p

I donʻt trust Baylor (historical statistics thing).

 

I thought about Kentucky, but fell into the Duke trap.

 

Houstonʻs region is where I think the chaos is. Either Kent State or Drake will go on a double-digit seed run. Iowa State is my sleeper pick.

 

The top four seeds in the West all could make it out, but I chose Kansas.:d

 

(I also have some feeling a 14 seed will win. Either UCSB or Montana State is really sticking out.)

7 teams remain after 9 seed Florida Atlantic University eliminates Kansas State in the East Region final.

 

The Owls can thank Fairleigh Dickinson (who were given "no chance" in the tournament by certain user on the forum) for knocking off Purdue, the second ever 1 seed to lose to a 16.

 

There are also no 1 seeds in the Elite Eight for the first time in the 64-team era.

      Finals are set    An all-Canadian final on the women’s side, as Team Homan looks to win their third title of the season (and improve to 18-1) against a hungry Team Einarson who have had a less than ideal start to the season, they were also the last Canadian team to beat Homan over a year ago (same event coincidentally), while on the men’s side it’ll be a battle between Olympic medalists as Team Mouat goes against Team Gushue!

      yeah I know    I mean it wasn't a different team specific for that sport. it was the same CC team participating in both sports.

      from what I heard , Iran has registered to participate in Alpine, CC skiing, SkiMo, Skating (they didn't mention which discipline ) and ... (this one will be surprising ) ... Curling    Curling is not a sure thing yet, the NOC has to approve it. the team is very new. I mean very very new, only few months ago they gathered few people to start the sport  you can't lose 100-0 in Curling, right ?    anyway it will be first time ever Iran participating outside of FIS disciplines. ( I didn't count Ski orienteering in 2011 which was the same as CC)   nobody cares about winter sports here. therefore finishing last won't have consequences. they can afford sending very weak teams. (which is not the case for the main Asian Games)

      11 medals out of 15 athletes. for whatever reason  we sent an incomplete team of 16 athletes (only 1 left for tomorrow) I wish I knew why  I can guess though   the result is indeed very good in such a competitive sport but lack of talent was never our problem in taekwondo. it was always there probably much more than any other country.    but the problem is the transition to the senior team. most of previous junior world champions never even made the senior team. (the new federation is doing better in this regard though)
