80s Dua Lipa = Pat Benetar - hollywood big shot Mar 17, 07:57 11

  - No, that is Taylor Swift. -- nm - Spawn Mar 17, 11:34 9
    - No, Taylor Swift is Stevie Nicks. - pmb Mar 17, 11:47 8
      - This is a solid analogy. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 15:15
      - Possibly, but the first thing I think of when I hear "Stevie Nicks" is Buckingham or Fleetwood Mac. So that kind of detracts from the comparison. -- nm - Spawn Mar 17, 13:29 1
        
        Particularly 80's Stevie Nicks had lots of hits outside of Fleetwood Mac. - pmb Mar 17, 14:44
      - I think Swift might have much more musical profinciency /songwriting power than Nicks or ONJ or just about anyone around today. I'm thinking she might - mud Mar 17, 11:53 4
        
        Stevie Nicks is one of the great songwriters of all time. It's a compliment to compare Taylor Swift to Stevie Nicks. - pmb Mar 17, 12:14 2

  - Enjoy your day and I appreciate this post every year. -- nm - Krusty Mar 17, 10:13
- I still don’t understand how you can have play-in games for anything but a 16-seed spot. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 17, 08:35 4
  - I am of the opposite mind. Those 16 seeds earned their bids. Put them in the round of 64 and make the at-larges duke it out. - na-Baron Mar 17, 09:14 2
    - I’m the opposite now. Drop the play-ins totally. An 11seed vs a 6seed isn’t that huge a spread. An extra game to grease the wheels is showing an - Will Hunting Mar 17, 10:37
    - Agreed. If the field dropped to 64 it’s the last four at large bids that would be dropped, not the last four automatic bids. -- nm - Dano Mar 17, 09:46
  - Some of the automatic bids are considered less-competitive than those on the bubble -- nm - budice Mar 17, 08:37
- No bids stolen by today's results, basically in rn or out -- nm - budice Mar 17, 08:19 1
  - Bubble: Mi St, Okla, Tex A&M, St Johns, Seton Hall, Va., Ind St, Pitt -- nm* - budice Mar 17, 08:30
- #9 is the best possible seed those games could be if every conference tourney was won by a team that would not have gotten an at large bid. -- nm - Dano Mar 17, 07:48 1
  - Only 5 of the top 32 seeds (based on Lunardi) will have won their conference tourney: UConn, Iowa St, St Mary's, Auburn/Florida, Illinois/Wisconsin. -- nm - Dano Mar 17, 07:55
