The final 2-3 minutes of every tournament game becomes so extended, I truly don't understand why so many teams kill their own momentum by trying to slow it down at the 5 minute mark with just a 5-8 point lead.
All things considered, it could be worse, but the 3 games I've missed today were the ones I took risks on: Vermont, Belmont, Nevada. Had the first two as my de facto mid-majors who make a run to the Sweet 16, and I actually really thought Nevada was in a great position to make a run in the West bracket. Honestly, the only game I thought would be tough for them in the run to the Elite 8 was this opening round against Florida, but still thought they'd take it.
I also don't understand why more teams with 5-8 point leads in the final 2 minutes don't switch their defense up every possession or so, just to throw the team on offense off rhythm. Loved that Florida was switching form man-to-man to a 2-3 to a a 1-3-1 during the last few minutes.
We're doing a scoring system where points are multiplied by seed. So if you pick the right upsets, you get a nice reward. I've picked all the wrong ones.
