I follow this link for bracket projections:

As of this writing, fourteen "bracketologists" give Long Beach State an average seeding of 14.93.
UC Davis was at 14.88 seeding from 78 "bracketologists" before they got eliminated.

I don't know. I presume their bigs are just dominant against any mid-major team. They weren't first or second teams for no reason.

Most "bracketologists" project Long Beach State to be a #15 seed. There are a lot of bad teams that have qualified into March Madness.

That Kane Milling sequence was so beautiful.

Better. UCI 18-17 with 3:04 left in the second quarter.

Ugh. UCD down 12-2 with 4:47 to go in the first quarter.

I should probably say, "First Four" for the first four #16 seeds in the March Madness bracketology. It's unlikely UCD will be in the First Four since five teams clearly have significantly worse NET ratings than UCD's NET ratings.

I looked at several dozen bracketologies, and UC Davis is generally chosen as the #15 seed. It looks like UCD is clearly better than five teams who have a NET rating worse than 200.

We're #16 seed here.

I felt like we didn't win.

Heh. UCD is the #16 seed playing #1 Houston in ESPN's bracketology.

Okay. We'll see that highlight.

Ugh.

And the nice start keeps on going! WOOHOO!

Nice start! WOOHOO!

A good scenario for Pepper to beat the record is to get in the March Madness and win the #16 vs. #16 play-in game.

It feels like it takes twenty minutes to play the last fifteen seconds

It looks like UC Davis will be the highest remaining seed soon unless if UCI can pull a miracle.

Long Beach State up 47-38 at halftime. I'm rooting for the Beach, but they're playing pretty good.

So who should we root for in the women's game between Long Beach and UC Irvine? We are 1-1 against both teams. I'm currently rooting for Long Beach State unless someone has a good argument. UCI is up 27-25 with 4:54 left in the second period.
