GRB Bracket Challenge 2014

It's fun. The brackets, the Cinderellas, the buzzer beaters. But, man, the actual quality of basketball being played this year is bad. Teams are struggling to score 50 points. When Wisconsin is the high-flying team you know things are off.

Can someone please make a gif of the insane looking Kansas cheerleader?

They should change it to "Not Chalk Jayhawk".

Really. Syracuse-Dayton was brutal too. 38 points total in the first half. Syracuse missed all their 3's and missed a lot of gimmee's up close too. Ennis taking the shot when they were down 1 with 6 seconds left from outside the foul line was a horrible choice too.

Lots of bad basketball.

Part of it is the way games are being reffed now. They've practically eliminated charging calls and also allow NBA style continuation shots after the whistle, so a lot of the offense is just jacking up 3s and wild drives to the basket hoping for fouls.

The CBS play by play announcers were rooting for Kansas, I thought.

Athleticism means "belief in athletics," not "agility" which is what they intend.

Wichita State-Kentucky on the other hand, has been a fantastic so far. Both teams are bringing their A game.
