I would like to see a shocker, ( especially Wichita State), win the tournament, just like when Coastal Carolina won the CWS last year. So, I think that Gonzaga has a chance, they only lost one game, and beat St. Mary's, which has a very good team, in their conference tournament finals. I just don't want to see another friggin' Power Five conference team win, that has gotten so boring over the years.

^Nice picks...

But, If you're like me and do these brackets every year...you know how merciless March really is.

The fact that today was really "below average" when it comes to the Madness makes me believe tomorrow....we're about to see some REAL shit!

Fuck, I hope so...I'm in last place, lol!

I got 15 out of 16 in another bracket though...

Vanderbilt game was the only one that really had much madness. All timeouts blown by Vanderbilt in second half with 8 minutes left in a close game, Vanderbilt intentionally fouls Northwestern's best free throw shooter even though Vandy was leading by 1 with 15 seconds left to go.

Literally threw that game away. Other than that not really any surprises. A few games closer than they arguably should have been, (almost Princeton) but no 'real' upsets.

But you know how this works. Final four will very likely determine the winner. Possibly the championship if there's a close race, between a couple people. In that regard you have solid picks and I think all four of them are legitimate contenders for those spots. I hope UNC crashes and burns though. Nothing personal. =P

There we go. They were just saving the upsets for the second round. Goodbye Nova, goodbye FSU, Will we see anymore? Arizona down by 1 at the half.



*edit*

God damn Virginia got absolutely stomped. They've never really been a good offensive team, but 39 points....

Florida got that ridiculous 3 to go which is so far the only buzzer beater so far in this Tourney...

We're down to 8....i still got North Carolina winning this thing....but who knows!

Oh and how great would it be if #11 Xavier makes it to the Final Four?

I'm just happy UCLA got knocked out. I feel bad for the players, but god damn I felt good to see people rip Lavar Ball apart. Man is getting so cocky. His sons are good but lol.

^Agreed.

LaVar is the worst type of trash talking loudmouth.

The bad thing is that his son now has this huge pressure to live up to the expectations of his idiot father!

For God sakes how retarded do you have to be to say a College player is better than Steph?

He hasn't played a goddamn minute in the NBA!!!

At least wait until he makes his debut....

Oh and don't even get me started about the comments that LaVar could beat MJ....Jesus Christ...

How 'bout them Gamecocks!

So....South Carolina is in the Final Four for the first time EVER!

Oregon is in for the first time since 1939 (Jesus!)

Gonzaga (Despite their #1 seed) is ALSO in the Final Four for the first time EVER!

Wow, great stuff by these schools...congrats to them all.


Lol...but now the top two dogs take center stage and whoever Wins will easily be the favorite for the title!

It's amazing how fast my bracket went from solid before the 16 round to disaster tier after the 8 round.
First round got 28/32, second round got 14/16 with only Nova and FSU letting me down but not major losses.
Third round got 3/8 with half of the bracket completely wiped and then only UNC survived to the Final Four.
Poor bracket, the Madness was too much. I do have UNC taking the title but it feels bad seeing that bracket explosion after the good start.

Redemption for North Carolina after last year's utterly agonizing defeat.

Just goes to show you No Jordan, No problem!

....and so it ends....North Carolina wins it's 6th National Title and caps off another great season in it's very amazing history.

Congrats to them.
