*********PLEASE READ************
Primary Board  (See "New Users Start Here: BOARD RULES" for complete rules)

This is an excerpt from the BOARD RULES:

- No personal attacks of ANY kind
- No 'calling out' individual cappers based on their picks or anything else.
-- It's your decision to use the information or not.
-- Respect everyone's opinions.
- No calling games EARLY (before they are OVER). This is bad karma.
- Go easy on the foul language; a little is OK, just don't over do it.
- Keep a "positive" attitude: as we like to say: win or lose it's all about being with the "family".
- No intentional over-the-top ribbing of another capper, with the intent to get their "ire" up.
-- This is ALL meant to keep with the positive, up-beat, encouraging atmosphere of our home
-- "Good-natured" banter on team matchups, etc., are acceptable so long as they stay positive, are "in fun" and are not excessive.
- No multiple IDs to 'build yourself up'. That's just wrong. When detected, all such IDs will be immediately banned.
- It is "assumed" that all plays you post, have your hard-earned $$ on them! No need to post how much, but understand that this assumption is important to the integrity of the board!
- No LATE posts... please get your plays in BEFORE the action begins. (Late picks benefit no one but YOU, and that's not what this board is about).

Check the EGOs at the DOOR! There's no need to be "better" than everyone else. We're all here to collaborate, share insights, have FUN, and make $$ where possible!

Try to keep the language consistent with a positive atmosphere; limit the profanity please. Please do not violate these rules. Violations can result in a ban from this board.
*************

Because of the VERY diverse group of personalities and such here, there is a mechanism built into the board called "FRIENDS & FOES":

User Control Panel (upper left corner) -> Friends & Foe Tab.

Here you can list FRIENDS, and their posts will be HIGHLIGHTED. And FOES: and their posts will be invisible.

This is a feature you are all welcome to use in whatever manner you like! (I think you get my drift!!)

NCAA Sweet 16 Returnees: Swimming With The Sharks

With the 2017 NCAA Tournament entering the SWEET 16 round, let's take a different perspective in analyzing the teams that have arrived.

This one pertains specifically to teams that are returning to the SWEET 16 for the 2nd straight year.

Do these experienced teams perform with aplomb or do they bomb? It all depends on the situation.

Let's take a peek.

ALL HANDS ON DECK

Unlike the last two years when half a dozen teams each returned to round of 32 this season, only five make a return visit this season. They include Gonzaga, Kansas, North Carolina, Oregon and Wisconsin.

According to our database, since 1992, teams making a right-back appearance in the SWEET 16 are 80-51 SU but only 58-70-3 ATS in this round of the tourney.

The cut-line, however, is often times the situation surrounding the game.

Check out the examples below.

NOT QUITE A 10

Looking at it from a varied perspective, SWEET 16 returnees seem to struggle when arriving off a win of less than 10 points, going just 33-27 SU and 23-35-2 ATS.

This year finds four of the five returnees, Gonzaga, North Carolina, Oregon and Wisconsin coming up short in the gene pool.

And making matters worse, if any of these sweet tomatoes sport a high profile public-loving win percentage of .790 or greater on the season they fall to 11-22-1 ATS.

Not particularly good news for the Zags, the Tar Heels, or the Ducks.

HOT DIGGETY DOG

One of the major roles Sweet 16 Returnees will respond to, however, is when they are cast into an underdog position.

Simply put, Sweet 16 Returnees cast into a Rodney Dangerfield lack of respect role of an underdog of 8 or less points are 16-11-1 ATS. That alone pulls Oregon and Wisconsin off the hook outlined above when they take on Michigan and Florida, respectively.

Better yet, if they are taking facing a sub .830 opponent in this role they win 62% of the time on the scoreboard, going 8-5 SU and 9-3-1 ATS.

Go Ducks!

SEEDY DEVELOPMENT

As expected, #1 and #2 seeds fare the best in Sweet 16 games as returnees, going 58-17 SU combined. To the spread, however, they are just 37-37-1 ATS, including 12-16-1 ATS as favorites of 6 or fewer points (read: Gonzaga and Kansas).

Meanwhile, the same Sweet 16 Returnee No. 1 and No. 2 seeds that are favored by 6 or fewer points are just 2-8-1 ATS in these games when taking on .800 or greater foes. Once again, this is not good news for the Zags or the Jayhawks.

Make no mistake, when it comes to handicapping teams in the SWEET 16, the winners will likely be the better-qualified teams that have 'been there-and-done that.'

Or those who know how to keep a ship afloat, if you know what I mean...

There was one year when Tyler (cornhusker) and I went for the first rounds and the Hilton did it up HUGE in their events venue. VIP passes for free beer, free food, and about 20 big-screens all over the venue!!!! One of the best 4 days of my life!!!
