What we're about
CougCenter is a website dedicated to covering all things Washington State University (although we'll throw in some national stuff as well). This won't be your typical fan site, flush with rip jobs; rather, we aim to bring – and encourage – the kind of smart, thoughtful analysis about Cougar athletics you won't find anywhere else.

Who likes double-digit seeds?
On the surface it looks like we may not get any close games out of the morning/early afternoon games. But if you check the kenpom projections, things are closer than they seem. The only one that really should be a comfortable win is Tennessee over Ohio; but then again we all thought Georgetown was going to wipe the floor with the green and white. The fun thing is there's a very realistic chance one or two of these low seeds makes it to the Sweet Sixteen. My money would be on Saint Mary's, if I had to choose one.
This morning is really just to get you primed and ready to go for the Huskies cakewalk to the Sweet Sixteen this evening. Wooo! Gooooo Dawgs!*

BRACKET CHALLENGE: Round 1 Standings
by Jeff Nusser on Mar 20, 2010 9:25 AM PDT
in Miscellaneous Blog Stuff
6 comments
I won't dive too much into analysis here, since there's still so much basketball to be played. But I will point out a few things before posting the top 10:
- So far, we authors don't look stupid. Craig is in that big tie for sixth, while Grady and I are just behind in a tie for 15th.
- How are we in a tie for 15th when the site says it's a tie for 16th? Because WSUScottie didn't adhere to the one bracket per person rule. I'm only going to count his first bracket.
- Defending champ Pman is showing that perhaps bracket skill is not repeatable, hanging out in a tie for 58th.
Here are the top 10 (and ties). PPR is potential points.
| RNK | ENTRY, OWNER | R64 | CHAMP | PPR | TOTAL | PCT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bucherbp, B. Bucher | 280 | Kansas | 1520 | 280 | 100 |

NCAA Tourney Day Three Preview

EDIT NUSS: Seriously, I think Grady, Craig and I are wondering if we're ever going to have to write anything again, you guys are doing such a good job. Sheesh. Way to go.
via limeshot.com
Welcome to the second round! I don't have much to say, other than there will be 8 games on Saturday. After the jump comes the matchups, sites, times, and to appease cougfan, the announcer pairings. Also, what games we will see on the west coast. We all know who Nuss will be watching. In the CougCenter bracket challenge, BucherBP comes into the day with the outright lead, 10 points ahead of second.

NCAA Day Two Recap

First things first: go here and read about the SBN survey. Then take the 10 minutes or less to do the survey. It's for a good cause.
If you missed out on today's "action", you should be proud of yourself. The weather was nice and the tournament was the complete opposite of yesterday.
After the jump, you'll get a bullet point rundown of the day. Don't expect much analysis this time, because it really wasn't needed today. Instead, you'll find some fun observations from the day that kept me entertained.

EDIT NUSS: Take or don't take. Up to you. But it'd be cool to give $500 to the rebuild effort in Haiti or something ...
>> Take SB Nation Survey
Hello sports fans! We're always striving to provide you with the best experience possible and it's been quite some time since we checked in with you.
So we're rolling out this survey to learn more about you and your sports world. It should only take about 10 minutes to complete.
We really appreciate your time and this is also going to help make a donation to a good cause.
By next Thursday (3/25) at 11:59pm PST the site that has the highest percentage of their community filling out the attached survey about their sports interests and consumption will win $500 to donate to a charity of their choice. We will leave it up to the discretion of the community manager(s) of the winning blog to decide how to choose the particular charity.
You can take the survey HERE
