Meet Your Announcers, And Your Historic 1-16 Near Upsets
Awful Announcing has helpfully listed the announcing teams for each NCAA tournament venue, and we were gonna say you gotta feel bad when your game is being broadcast by Craig Bolerjack, but then we see he's doing the Duke game and therefore pass the last-announcing-team award to Ian Eagle and Jim Sp...

At Last, An NCAA Basketball Pool Without Shame
Good news if your NCAA Basketball Tournament pool is in California; no longer must you lurk in the shadows as you make your picks, hiding your brackets from the cops during routine traffic stops and pretending that your sudden interest in Drake is due to their "top-notch pharmacy and health sciences...

Bracket Breakdown: West Region
We wrap up our look at each region (before ceding the floor to Storming The Floor for more in-depth looks. Here's the West region. We're so glad they're calling it "Wet" again, instead of "Phoenix," though "Phoenix" is a beautiful place full of happy people and cacti....
I am still going to provide a region by region breakdown of the NCAA tournament, which will inevitably be wrong and lead to me finishing 26th in a pool with a bunch of people who couldn't separate the Diebler brothers from the Calathes brothers, or plan on picking Kent State to beat Kansas because s...
Bracket Breakdown: Midwest Region
We continue our look at each region. Here's the Midwest region. We're so glad they're calling it "Midwest" again, instead of "Detroit," though "Detroit" would make us think the White Stripes are gonna be there or something....
Bracket Breakdown: South Region
Later today, we'll begin rolling out our Tidbit previews of each team/first-round matchup, but to kick us off, we're looking at each region. Here's the South region. We're so glad they're calling it "South" again, instead of "Houston," because in the rest of the world, it's not pronounced "HOW-ston....
Bracket Breakdown: East Region
Later today, we'll begin rolling out our Tidbit previews of each team/first-round matchup, but to kick us off, we're gonna look at each region. Here's the East region. We're so glad they're calling it "East" again, instead of "Charlotte," though "Charlotte" is a quite lovely word....
Brigham Young Cougars
1. My Left Foot. BYU lost to UNLV for the second straight year in the Mountain West championship game, but one has to wonder if things would have been different had the Cougars' 6-foot-11 Vuk Ivanovic still been on the roster. Ivanovic, a native of Serbia and Montenegro, broke his foot during practi...
UCLA Bruins
1. "Well, Jack Likes It." Remember when Dukie V and the state of Tennessee blew their collective load when "big time celebrities" Peyton Manning and Priscila Presley showed up at the Memphis-Tennessee game? Yawn. As the greatest basketball program in NCAA history, situated in the heart of LA between...
Hank Steinbrenner's Picking Verbal Fights With Everyone Now
It truly is admirable the way that the son of George Steinbrenner is distancing himself from his father in an attempt to look like his own man. After all, Hank Stein's tirades as of late have created an entirely different yet equally powerful fiefdom of crazy. He's railed against Red Sox Nation, the...
Boise State Broncos
1. I Just Flew In From Boise, and Boy Are My Legs Tired. Four days might not be near enough time for the Broncos to rest up for their first round game. They needed three overtimes and 107 points to put away the pesky New Mexico State Aggies and take the WAC's auto-bid. The good news is that it was o...
Belmont Bruins
1. Wait... The Atlantic Sun is Perhaps Not A Powerhouse Conference? Belmont has ranked in the top 10 nationally in three-point field goals per game seven of the last 10 years. The Bruins are fourth this year at 10.6 three-pointers per game. HOWEVUH, when it mattered (in their NCAA appearances the la...
