*****OFFICIAL NCAA TOURNEY THREAD*****

Still cant believe uga took ufs coach. Like wtf has dude done to make u even want him. Saved florida from paying a big buyout i have to imagine.
 
Seemed like both teams were giving up offensive boards left and right, but Rutgers had 13 and ND had 9. ND killed the points in the paint though, which isn't usually that typical for them.
And ND won the Battle of the Benches 18-0 ... and only 5 turnovers!
 
May as well discuss all the madness in one thread. Let's start off with a little tourney history. I am sure @jhmossy can appreciate this.

2 things stick out:
- That 1 at the top.
- k has a chance to coach the 10th 2 seed loss.
 
Knew I shouldn't have trusted the hype for the Jackrabbits (or disrespect for Providence). This is a mismatch.

Granted, I only picked em on a few brackets.

So glad I didn’t do a bracket. Id be on track for 0-3 based on first three games.

Richmond over iowa. Spiders baby. Believe it!!!
I am rooting for all Big Ten teams, but … I wouldn’t shed a tear over this one! Still pretty bitter that 5-seed Iowa would get to play a Sweet Sixteen in our home away from home (and where we have a .750 record all-time) while 4-seed Illinois would play in San Antonio…

Don’t want to jinx it, but looks like Michigan is going to pull it off.

Colorado St was terrible in the second half.
 
Pretty ho-hum game from Isaiah Stevens. He felt largely absent. Wonder if Roddy comes back for his senior year. Could be a pretty special year if they bring back those two. Think they really need a quality big, though, if they're going to beat a P6 school in the tournament. Transfer market will be a necessity for CSU.

Dickinson was a monster. And how about Frankie Collins? Collins stole the show in the second half.

The “popular” upset picks are the ones that never hit. Its always someone unexpected like richmond 😉
From what I’d read, I was expecting the Jackrabbits to roll out 5 Steph Currys and drop 100 on a suspect Providence D.

Not sure they’re going to crack 50.🤣
 
South Dakota State has cut the lead to 3 points. Final 2:30 could be interesting.
 
I knew next to nothing about Longwood so I checked them out.

Good % outside the line and they want to turn you over. Predictions are that we are too much for them. I think so too.
 
Looked like a bogus foul call on the Providence three, but what a terrible decision to leap at the shooter so aggressively in that situation. He was already late on the closeout.

why does that Baylor guy have pink hair? Is he a gay?
 
Tennessee hanging tough with Longwood
Historically Tennessee was never a good March madness team, they don’t usually advance up to their seeding. I have Michigan in sweet 16 over them, and I feel Longwood will be able to hang with them until late 2nd half.
 
2-0 so far, also picked Memphis, Baylor and Tennessee to win which should make it 5-0 soon. The first challenge will be the Iowa game, I picked Richmond in sweet 16 defeating both Iowa and Providence. I am not so confident about them in the Iowa game, but I am sure they will beat Providence if they actually get past Iowa.
