OT: March Madness

[Kontradiction]

Mods feel free to move this to the college graveyard if you wish. Figured there are probably a few Pats fans watching this as we await the draft and next wave of FA.

Good hoops today though. The Michigan game was entertaining, Wichita State took Kentucky to the absolute wire, Michigan State is hanging in there with Kansas, and Arkansas erased a large deficit against UNC. My bracket was busted right off the bat when Middle Tennessee won.

Not to sound like a homer, but I think the Gators have a good chance in the Sweet 16. I know Wisconsin took out Villanova, but the Gators have both lanky and athletic players on their squad. Their defense has made everyone's life miserable that they've played thus far.

Aaaaaand Kansas is up by 20 now. Nothing but highlight reel dunks and alley oops. They may go all the way. That was pretty impressive.

KAN will fold next weekend. Self can't coach.

Why isn't this thread about Butler?








Another great start to the tourney.

They have a good shot vs either UNC or Ark.

I don't know, man. This is a pretty damn good squad.

No clue. The refereeing has been a drain on what's otherwise been a very good game.

I'm waiting for Kansas to fold.

I'm in three groups. In one of my brackets, I had Minnesota going to the Elite 8...whoops. But in another, I had Middle Tennessee as my 5/12 upset, so it WAS looking up in that one until Villanova lost. Bah well...

I know Michigan is on borrowed time. But seeing Wagner evolve from a confused teenager into a prime time player has been incredible. He could potentially even be a 1st rounder, and is nowhere near what he's going to be.

We'll probably lose next weekend by 20. But it's been a hell of a run for the Wolverines, from bubble to Big 10 Tournament to 2 really impressive wins. Brady has to be happy.

You guys are final 4 bound I think. I was skeptical about purdue coming in, Thought that if they played their best they could make the final 4 but sometimes they make dumb turnovers. I really did not think they would beat iowa state(who I thought would lose to Nevada). I really think Purdue is going to beat Kansas(I think there is a lot not to like about kansas) I think Michigan has a great shot at winning their next two. I thought before the tournament that the winner of Lousiville Michigan was final 4 bound.

That's my Alma Mater. He's done quite a good job this year considering that he's had to completely change their way of playing due to losing his Bigs at the start. They'll have a hell of a time dealing with Purdue's massive front line though. Should be entertaining, few teams can deal with the Jayhawks on the perimeter and they'll have to get to the hole repeatedly to get Swanigen and Haas in foul trouble. Frank Mason III is one of my all-time favourites and is tough as nails and the kind of senior leader that takes teams all the way. Don't count them out.

Let's go Duke!

Neither can ROy Williams. Tom Izzo does not impress me much either. Same with Dean Smith. Coach Cal? please.I like Pitino, COach K is great. Calhoun was great. Jury is still out on Sean Miller

That clip of the north carolina fan jumping up and down was gold

 

[SHOWTIME15]

I hate UF - they best UVA (my alma mater). Not that UVA was good this year or anything...

 

[SEA_Pat]

Referees trying to give Duke a chance, but South Carolina looks tough enough to hold on.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Duke going down destroys my bracket, but it is still wonderful

 

[fightingirish595]

Gurantee coach k complains bout The game being in South carolina
