NCAA Tourney Thread

You just cannot take any team for granted. There's a reason why they're there. Every team is good.

The B1G is getting bent over dry!

Purdue losing in their backyard... yikes. Not a good start for the Big Ten.

 

[trj]

You gotta root for Rutgers. And you hope Wisky can take out Baylor.

 

[Motigerhawk]

SDSU cannot figure out a 2-3 zone

 

[uihawk82]

hate the bullshit that is going to come with this. the B!G is overrated nonsense.

I think the Big 10 just plays so physical and more in tighter confinement that these lower seeded, looser teams with speed and open, non-banging playing style just can give the top teams problems.

If Davidson was not shooting well that Wisky game could have been a lot closer.

Rutgers beats Clemson in an upset seed wise.

No one will remember these losses when Illinois and Iowa play for the National Championship.

Iowa better show up looking for a 40 minute dogfight. Some good upset examples for the coaches to use - I'm sure they've done just that.

As I watch these games I keep wondering if next year’s tournament will look similar...especially for the mid majors. All of the studs get another year. And they aren’t going to play professionally.

I know all of Drake’s (4 I believe) seniors are returning. What about Ohio State’s seniors? This is going to be a strange offseason.

I always enter one tourney contest with one entry only...the ESPN challenge

I checked today, 88%....not bad I guess.

What I don't get are the dozens upon dozens of "perfect" submissions so far.
They have to be submitting hundreds of different brackets. sheesh.

So I see the money-grabbers are still supporting both the NIT and the dumb-ass-CBI tourney this year.

Anyone notice how Lily from AT&T is becoming about as ubiquitous as Sister Jean in this tournament?

Damn! I thought she was our unofficial mascot, and that we had her all to ourselves!!!

Sorry, I think the opposite. People are human, have social media outlets, and know what is going on around them. They are aware of what happened yesterday.

But I can all but guarantee these players and coaches are honed in on nothing more than their immediate task at hand, and that's GCU.

Her hair looked awful in her latest commercial. C'mon AT&T, spruce it up!

Kansas down 9-0 early.

 

[Seth53]

Ooo-weee
Eastern Washington out to a 9-0 lead on blue blood KS.

They had the EW coach on Full Ride this last week....quite the character.

Good luck to the boys from Cheney. (population 11K (45% grad rate!))

Why did i buy into the Georgetown hype? My bracket is a dumpster fire

I could have told you that. The “do it for John” thing is awesome, but they are not a very good basketball team. Taking Colorado and the points was an easy pick.

Lilly gets around

And she can use a permanent marker all day long

Into the night

Until the break of dawn
