How many brackets do you guys fill out? ..and who's in your final 4?

Yeah, an impressive win over a mid-major team in a game they had no business qualifying for. The ACC still sucks. Already down to 2 teams after half a day.

So if UNC would have beaten a powerhouse like, say, High Point - that would be worth blowharding about?

Poor Bill Self. Now that it’s legal to pay your players he’s not quite as good as when he used to be. Love watching him and Kansas lose.

Kansas loses in first round! 😮

Jayhawks being out in the 1st round is really all I need.

If anyone remembers the movie The Cooler with William H. Macy, I’m starting to think that character might have been based on the life of Doc Sadler. It seems like teams get worse when Doc is taking naps at the end of their bench, then get better when he moves on. He’s kind of like a reverse mascot.

The ACC used to be the premier basketball league. Now outside of Duke that league kinda sucks. Not impressed with their teams at all. Makes me wonder how good Duke actually is.

Duke has an NBA squad.....

Do you work for the ACC or something? It's okay to admit the conference was awful this year. The Big Ten will probably have 6-8 teams make the Round of 32.

No, I’m no fan of the ACC. I always find it embarrassing when fans of bad teams get a woody because someone from their conference does something unremarkable - like the goofs who chant SEC! SEC! at the freaking Music City Bowl.

This may in fact be a year when the Big Ten doesn’t crap all over itself on the first weekend of the tournament. But forgive me if wins over High Point and Montana don’t make me go weak in the knees.

Hey, Tennessee beat Wofford and Texas A&M beat Yale! SEC takin’ care of business, baby!!!!

I mean no one did it better than Calapari at Kentucky if we’re going to be honest.

Misery losing to Drake😅

 

[Harry Caray]

Looks like UCLA has the most impressive win now, destroying Utah State. Michigan looking good as well.

Oh I don’t disagree with that all either. To me Kansas and Arkansas was a battle of two dirtbag coaches.

I believe the B1G has looked like the best conf so far. ACC looks terrible. Big East and sec look good as well.

The seeding is the worst I’ve ever seen since paying attention

 

[schuele]

I was happy to see Colorado State take down Memphis. Rams were awful early in the year but just kept improving. I don’t think they’ll beat Maryland but it could be a tight game.

 

[Harry Caray]

Big Ten goes 8-0 in the first round!

 

[kruller]

Big Ten goes 8-0 in the first round!

The al mighty SEC is 8-6!

ACC has become Duke and everyone else. Was hoping Xavier would win. I can’t stand Illinois. And Underwood kinda gets under my skin a bit. Kinda sad no real big Cinderella emerged. Maybe McNeese and Drake. But Clemson is another overrated bad ACC team that made the field and Missouri isn’t great. So beating them wasn’t a big deal. Been pretty much all chalk outside of them.
