I think that can be the bracket with 12 playing 13. Kansas is banged up, they’ve looked terrible lately. I actually can’t believe they are a 4 seed.
Anyone but UConn.

🙏🏻
I still can't believe all the scrub schools in the tournament  
GiantBlue : 3/21/2024 8:35 am : link
and St. Johns and/or Seton Hall are not there. The whole Big East conference was dissed with only three schools chosen.

So I hope one of the three wins this thing to stick it to the NCAA selection committee.
Love opening weekend of the tournament

I took these two days off to watch with some friends. Gonna be taking advantage of my 3 TV setup in the basement as well.

Let’s go UConn!

I put Samford in the Sweet 16. They will run 11 guys in their rotation.

We all took tomorrow off, heading to the bar before noon, stay until we can’t anymore, haha. All CT buddies, most went to UConn with me.
Hopefully there's no Virginia level debacles left

Nice, enjoy! That’s my plan for today. Start at the bar for lunch then will head to the social club my brother in law and I belong to.

Tomorrow will likely be my recovery day. I’ll watch UConn at home with my wife and kids when they get home from school.

Got a buddy who lives and dies Jayhawks, hangs at Cole FH when he can...not a happy camper, but they won't go easily. HC is street fighter (on and off court) from way back.

UConn, who do you like in the brackets?
My final four is  
UConn4523 : 3/21/2024 2:05 pm : link
UConn/Baylor/Kentucky/Creighton. Not confident but that’s what I got.

Yeah, bad turnovers. Otherwise they are playing well.

I knew I shouldn’t have gone against Izzo. Dammit.

My Final Four is UConn, Houston, Tennessee, & St. Mary’s.
First Tourney win since 1969!! Congrats Duquesne

Good luck busting more brackets
Hit my first parlay  
UConn4523 : 3/21/2024 3:28 pm : link
Michigan St moneyline, Duquesne +11 and Creighton -7.5. Hope that’s a sign of good things to come!
AZ and UNC rolling

Jack Gohlke for the record. I think he’s now 1 away. 4 minutes lefty
This guy Gohlke's looking like Larry Bird  
Eightshamrocks : 3/21/2024 9:17 pm : link
On Fire. Kentucky may blow this.
One on the best tournament games in years

Loving it
Callipari is still a clown  
JT039 : 3/21/2024 9:32 pm : link
All he does is argue with the officials. They go down 1 with three timeouts left and he’s complaining about something instead of using a timeout because the ball rolled away and he didn’t even get his defense set up.

He’s the anti-Izzo
Well, my bracket is busted

Kentucky didn’t play badly, they just got beat by a team that came to play and Gohlke had an all time shooting night.

Fun game

that Oak-Ky game immensely. Great outcome too.

Brutal, pissed me off as I had Samford in the Sweet 16.

Cal losing in the first round. Delish.
So much for the SEC  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 3/22/2024 8:03 am : link
Great league to watch during the regular season, but feels like each team had a fatal flaw this year that could get exposed in the tournament. Let's see Auburn & Florida today and how far Tennessee gets -- does Knecht counterbalance Barnes as coach.
No point in starting another thread

Northwestern and FAU  
JT039 : 3/22/2024 12:43 pm : link
Combing to shoot 20% through the first 13 minutes of the game.

Brutal.
Awful game

Consider it the JV game before the real teams play lol
I’ve been here since 1130  
UConn4523 : 3/22/2024 1:19 pm : link
it’s going to be a sloppy afternoon.
Baylor  
JT039 : 3/22/2024 1:22 pm : link
Looks very very good.
Yeah I like baylor  
UConn4523 : 3/22/2024 1:44 pm : link
I think they have 6 players in double figures for the season. Very deep team.
Yves Missi  
Really : 3/22/2024 1:54 pm : link
on Baylor would look real nice in Orange and Blue.
Northwestern is tough to play  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 3/22/2024 1:56 pm : link
As physical on D as the officials will allow them to be, great PG in buie, and then have a knack for running their O and getting good shots low on the clock. Collins has done a really good job there.
This whole stop the game anytime someone gets hit in the face  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 3/22/2024 2:12 pm : link
and calling flagrant fouls is ridiculous. You're legislating intent and ruining the flow of the game.
