my take on 1-16 match ups (march madness ‘06)
I fucking hate 1-16 match ups. historically no 16 seed has ever beaten a 1 seed, so the 1 seed coasts and the 16 seed goes balls out. what happens when a superior team coasts and a lesser team goes balls out? you have a sloppy ass game that’s only as close as the top seed will allow it to be. when it comes time to get down to business the 1 seed turns on its ignition and leaves the 16 in its wake.
so it’s basically the 1 seed dangling a carrot in front of the 16 seed (and any fool tuning in to see if there’s an upset) until it decides to win the game.
fuck you, 1 seeds. just do everyone a favor and make it a blow out early in the game.
