I think one of the non-16 play-in game winners has won at least one more game every season since its inception, feels like the KSU/WF winner has a real chance against Cincy

Yup, every season so far, and three of six have won twice after their Dayton game

2011: #11 VCU, F4
2012: #12 South Florida, R32
2013: #13 La Salle, S16
2014: #11 Tennessee, S16
2015: #12 Dayton, R32
2016: #11 Wichita St, R32

can Iowa State press at all? Because the key to beating Purdue is applying literally any scant amount of press

The only time ISU has ever pressed is when they're down late in a game, so desperation time. They do not play great defense, and they suck at rebounding.

Well, that makes me feel good even if I'm still pessimistic about our matchup in the first round.

pretty sure Chicago's big ten team is somehow Notre Dame

My proudest moment in a bracket ever is still getting Lehigh > Duke

I picked the final four and subsequent games in 2004 and am pretty sure I've lost a final four team on day 1 every year since then

indiana's haughty refusal to host an NIT game because it would tarnish the arena is still incredibly funny to me

they did it for the CBI in 2014 too, though in that one they just declined the tournament altogether for bitchy reasons

The NBA has been pretty good with having different champions in recent history. I'm guessing your bored with LeBron getting to the Finals every year since 2011, but what he is doing is historically great. (and it's not like he wins every time anyway but point taken.) Too lazy to check but I think the last time the NBA had so many different teams win titles in a similar timeframe was the 70s. It's a bit different than the women's college game where a team can go undefeated for multiple years in a row.

NBA titles since 2010
2010: LA Lakers
2011: Dallas Mavericks
2012: Miami Heat
2013: Miami Heat
2014: San Antonio Spurs
2015: Golden State Warriors
2016: Cleveland Cavaliers

western conference titles since 1999:
Lakers 7
Spurs 6
Every other team 4

Do they have a shorter short clock refresh after an offensive rebound on a shot that hit the rim, or is that only the WNBA?
