lol @ my dad. he’s in the top 5, he nailed the title game participants, and even if he picks the winner he’s already eliminated from cashing out. that’s march madness.
it’s kind of astounding how many good programs/tournament teams seem to default to “give our best player the ball and get out of the way” down the stretch of big games. i really think that’s where the great coaches make hay. they have plans and strategies beyond, “let him cook!” and that’s why they win titles and the guys just beneath them don’t.
