What-if-sports NCAA Tournament

With the 02-03 basketball season winding down, and the recent release of TDCB, I have decided to do a little 64 team tournament featuring the Final Four teams from the past 16 years (4 teams * 16 seasons = 64 teams)

I did a couple of these What-if Dynasties before, and I know Grid Iron had some good ones as well.

Anyway, the initial brackets will be up soon, and I encourage you to get your bracket entries in. Maybe somebody can make up a trophy, or something, for the winner. At the very least, you have bragging rights and it should be pretty fun.

Michigan forfeited its 1993 Final Four appearance, but you'll include them, right?

Great idea for a dynasty!

Oh by the way, I am looking for suggestions on how to best run this tournament.

I can probably put the full brackets up on a website with my email address on there and people can just email me their submission......

Or maybe I can just have people who want an entry to email me and I can email them back with an attachment that they can fill out and return to me.

Thoughts on this?

Seeds 1-4 are national champions
Seeds 5-8 are national runner-ups
Seed 9-16 are the losers of the national Semi-Final games.

Specific seeding was partially random, and partially based on my thoughts of how good a team was.

for example, the 00-99 Wisconsin and UNC teams were barely Final 4 caliber, IMO, so they are 16 seeds (this is the my thoughts part), but the 98-99 MSU team was pretty good, and they only got a 15 seed (this is the random part). Using my thoughts and a randomness factor, these brackets are scientifically perfect. don't argue with them.

I vote for putting the bracket on a website! But that could be time intensive. Either way is great.

Super idea for a dynasty!

East plays West

and

Southeast plays Midwest

in the Final Four


Start sending in your entries via PM. I think the easiest way to do this is just round by round. I would like to have you guys project the entire bracket but that is pretty tough to do and monitor on the forum here.

So, just list the 32 teams you think you will win in the first round games. Each correct pick is worth 1 point.

I will accept entries until 6pm EST Friday for Round 1!

All games will be at a neutral site msugreen. Good question!

The nice thing about "What-If-Sports" is that you get a box score after the game. So instead of just listing the scores, I can type up newspaper report like reports that tell you who led the scoring, rebounding, etc...

UNC's championship team a 4 seed!? Oh well UNC will be pulling tons of upsets along the way here. Wonder how many times UNC/Duke teams will play with all the final fours they've been to combined in the last 16 years?

Welcome to Marmel’s What-If-Sports NCAA Tournament.

The action is starting early out in the East bracket, in Boston, Mass with a mismatch in the 8-9 game. The 90-91 Runnin’ Rebels of UNLV are the 9 seed and they are taking on the 97-98 Utah Utes. Many still believe this UNLV squad was the best team ever, yet they failed to win a game in the Final Four.

As expected, UNLV just ran away with this game, putting up 100 points to Utah’s 82. Anderson Hunt played all 40 minutes for UNLV and put up 31 points and had 5 assists. Larry Johnson added 21 points and 10 rebounds. Andre Miller and Michael Doleac each had 20 for the Utes.

Also, in the East, the 4 Seed, 92-93 UNC held on to beat the 88-89 Illinois team, a 13 seed. The final score was 96-88. Eric Montross led the way for the Heels with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Nick Anderson led the Illini with 18 points and 9 rebounds.


Next, we will head to the Southeast.

The 2 seed, 86-87 Indiana Hoosiers got 23 points, 3 assists and 2 steals from team leader Steve Alford en route to a 85-78 victory over the 15th seeded 94-95 Oklahoma St. Cowboys. Bryant Reeves, for OK St. led the game with 26 points, and Randy Rutherford chipped in 20, but it was not enough to pull the upset. Dean Garrett had 11 rebounds and 14 points for the Hoosiers.

Staying in the Southeast, we see the 92-93 Kansas Jayhawks, a 10 seed, fall against the Fab 5 of the 92-93 Michigan Wolverines, a 7 seed. Kansas had 6 players score in double digits, led by Rex Walters with 16. Michigan was led by Chris Webber and his 18 points and 12 rebounds. Jalen Rose had 16, and both Jimmy King and Ray Jackson scored a dozen.

We go back to the East, where the #1 seed, the Duke Blue Devils of 91-92 take on the 16th seeded Wisconsin Badgers from 99-00.

The Devils handle this game with ease, cruising to a 79-65 victory. Christian Laettner led the Dukies with 23 points. Hurley, Davis and the two Hills each scored in double figures. For Wisconsin, Mark Vershaw had 15 and Andy Kowske had a dozen.

To close out the top half of the bracket in the East, #5 91-92 Michigan takes on #12 89-90 Arkansas.

The Razorbacks pull off the first upset of the tournament by knocking off the 5 seed, 82-77. Todd Day led the way for Arkansas with 17 points, while Lenzie Howell had 14 and Lee Mayberry had 12. Michigan was led by Jalen Rose and his 19 points. Weber was in foul trouble all day which may have hurt this squad. He finished with 16 points and 6 boards.


We head back to the Southeast to finish up the bottom half of that bracket.

Our second straight upset, as the 14th seeded Stanford Cardinals from 97-98 upend the 3 seed, 90-91 Duke Blue Devils, 85-81! Arthur Lee led the Cardinal with 13 points. Mad Mark Madsen and Kris Weems each had a dozen. Laettner led the Devils with 18, and Bobby Hurley chipped in 12 in the losing effort.

The 6 seed, 99-00 Florida manhandled a very good 00-01 Maryland squad, 94-80. Mike Miller led the Gators with 15 points and 8 boards, while Udonis Haslem had 14 points and Teddy Dupay and Donnell Harvey each had 13. Juan Dixon put up 19 points for the Terps.

Opening up in the Midwest is the #2 seed, 93-94 Arkansas. They will take on the 15 seed, the 98-99 Michigan State team.

It turned out to be 40 minutes of hell for the Razorbacks as the #2 seed goes down, 84-81, to a very talented Michigan St. squad, who came back to win the title the next year. The Spartans were led by Mateen Cleaves and Morris Peterson, who each scored 16 points. Jason Klein added 13. For the Razorbacks, Corliss Williamson had 16 points and 5 boards.

Staying in the Midwest, we see the #3 seed, the 88-89 Michigan Wolverines make easy work of the 96-97 Minnesota Golden Gophers, 92-79. Glen Rice led the way with 23 points for the Wolverines, while Rumeal Robinson and Loy Vaught each had 16. For the Gophers, Bobby Jackson led the team with 16 points.


We head out west…

The 96-97 Arizona Wildcat team had a great run back in the day, but they cannot win a game as the 4 seed in this tournament, as the 01-02 Oklahoma Sooners down them, 88-80. Hollis Price scored 19 for the Sooners and Ebi Ere and Aaron McGhee each had 16. For the Wildcats, Miles Simon had 18 and Michael Dickerson had 16.

The 5 seed, 96-97 Kentucky had an easy time with the 12 seed, 96-97 UNC. Kentucky won 91-77 behind 21 points and 7 rebounds from Ron Mercer. Derek Anderson had 17 points and Anthony Epps had 10 for the Wildcats. Antawn Jamison had 20 points and 11 rebounds for the Heels.

Half the brackets are almost filled in, just four more games, and we stay in the West…..

The #1 seed, 89-90 UNLV had to put everything on the floor to get past the #16 seeded 99-00 UNC Tarheels. The Rebels pulled this one out, 80-79 behind 17 points and 11 rebounds from Larry Johnson. David Butler added 14 and Anderson Hunt had 13 for the Rebels. UNC was led by Joseph Forte and his 21 point performance. Jason Capel had 13 for the Heels.

Closing out the top half of the West bracket, the 9 seed, 95-96 Umass takes the win over the 8 seeded Indiana Hoosiers from 01-02 by a final of 88-72. That Umass team lost to a juggernaut of a Kentucky team in the Final Four, but is talented enough to go far in this one. Marcus Camby was unstoppable with 23 points and 17 rebounds. Donta Bright had 22 for the Minutemen. The Hoosiers got 15 points from Jared Jeffries and 12 from Tom Coverdale.



Finally, we go back to the Midwest….

The 6 seed, 00-01 Arizona Wildcats beat the 11 seed, 97-98 UNC Tarheels, 84-81. Michael Wright led the Cats with 19 points, while Richard Jefferson and Gilbert Arenas each had 14. For the Heels, Antawn Jamison led the way with 21 points and 17 rebounds, while Vince Carter and Shammond Williams each had 16.

We wrap it up with the 7 seed, the 88-89 Seton Hall Pirates beating the 10 seed, the 87-88 Duke Blue Devils, 87-84. The Pirates were led by John Morton and his 19 points. Andrew Gaze had 15, while Ramon Ramos had 14 points and 13 boards. Danny Ferry had 18 for the Devils, while Kevin Strickland had 16.

Great thread, Marmel. I wish I had seen it sooner so I could have sent in a bracket.

Wow, what many people consider to be one of the best teams of all time, the 1991 UNLV team goes down in a near rout 100-82 in the first round.

Umm, no. I think you misread the post. It goes as follows:

"As expected, UNLV just ran away with this game, putting up 100 points to Utah’s 82. Anderson Hunt played all 40 minutes for UNLV and put up 31 points and had 5 assists. Larry Johnson added 21 points and 10 rebounds. Andre Miller and Michael Doleac each had 20 for the Utes."

OK, I'm confused now Marmel. In the game write-up you say:

"The 90-91 Runnin’ Rebels of UNLV are the 9 seed and they are taking on the 97-98 Utah Utes. Many still believe this UNLV squad was the best team ever, yet they failed to win a game in the Final Four.

As expected, UNLV just ran away with this game, putting up 100 points to Utah’s 82. Anderson Hunt played all 40 minutes for UNLV and put up 31 points and had 5 assists. Larry Johnson added 21 points and 10 rebounds. Andre Miller and Michael Doleac each had 20 for the Utes."

Now, when you listed just the score, you put:

8 97-98 Utah 100
9 90-91 UNLV 82

And for the Round Two games you have listed:

1 91-92 Duke
8 97-98 Utah

Is the write-up right or is the score right? I would hate to see that great UNLV team go out inadvertantly...

Rock chalk! The first one is a classic rematch while the second has one of our best teams and the second was a good team that got screwed by the refs.

Thanks for catching that. I will have to check my log this evening and make the appropriate correction(s). Thanks!

Yeah, I missed the write-up, as JeeberD pointed out, and just noticed the score on the list, with Utah as the winner.
