Announcing the NCAA College Basketball Battle of the Losers

Haha, you thought this would be an actual event held by FOX or something? Nah….instead, this will be a fun little tournament I’ve created which pits the losers of this year’s NCAA March Madness against each other. The process for this was quite simple, take all of the teams that lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and there is your field of 32. Here’s what I’m talking about:

East Region

(16) Mt. St Marys vs. (8) Indiana

(12) George Mason vs. (13) Winthrop

(11) St. Josephs vs. (14) Boise State

(10) South Alabama vs. (15) American

Midwest Region

(16) Portland State vs. (9) Kent State

(5) Clemson vs. (4) Vanderbilt

(6) USC vs. (14) Cal-State Fullerton

(7) Gonzaga vs. (15) UMBC

South Region

(16) UT-Arlington vs. (9) Oregon

(12) Temple vs. (13) Oral Roberts

(11) Kentucky vs. (14) Cornell

(10) St. Mary’s vs. (15) Austin Peay

West Region

(16) Mississippi Valley State vs. (8) BYU

(5) Drake vs. (4) UConn

(11) Baylor vs. (14) Georgia

(10) Arizona vs. (15) Belmont

So using Whatifsports.com I’ll simulate all of these games and see who is the best loser of this tournament. I’ll post the results of the East region a little bit later. Ladies and gentlemen, this is April…something or the other.
