Who you got?

#1 seeds Alabama, Kansas, Houston and Purdue

I was surprised to see Kansas get a #1 after getting shellacked by Texas, but the committee must think Self is worth 20 points.

Texas is going to be dangerous IMO.

Didn’t Kansas have the most Q1 wins in the country, or close to it?

If Marcus Sasser is out, I don’t think Houston stands a chance. Purdue’s freshmen guards will lose them a game.

I like Kansas, Texas, and UCLA. Duke is getting hot at the right time, too.

I think Kansas did. I'm not sold on UCLA yet.

IE bracket pool anybody?

IE bracket pool anybody?

This year was the least amount of college basketball I've watched in a long while, mainly because it was so depressing watching ND, but I'd be in for a pool. I can set it up unless you would like to.

I can set it up. I'm in the same boat as you. This is by a wide margin the least amount of CBB I've watched in years.

ND GOT ROBBED!

 

[rtrn2glory]

Has Jay Bilas given his take yet? He's usually pretty good at picking those early round upset picks.

I'm happy to see my guys get their first ever #1 seed and I'm cautiously optimistic, but I've seen them collapse and get upset too often to get my hopes up too much. I'll be thrilled if they just make it to the Final Four.

Nothing personal Bishop, but given the handling of Miller supplying the gun, I would love to see them get bounced asap.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Agreed. Sooner the better. I'd rather not hear the "us against the world" garbage coming from that coach and those players that would be the direct result of them winning anything.

I used to hate Pitt in the Big East days, but they've been so bad for so long that I am pulling for them a bit this tourney

I wanted them to win last night like I had a mortgage payment riding on it. LOL. Irrational.

I'm still laughing at how deep that shot was. And with a lot of time left on the shot clock.

 

[NorthDakota]

I feel bad for Oral Roberts. They've had an awesome season, secured a great seed and......get stuck with a surging Duke.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Still hilarious. 14 on the shot clock. Look where he was when he shot this.

I can’t tell if Duke is surging or they just played in a very shitty ACC. I hope they stay hot though because I have them in the final 4.

I put them in the final 4 as well.

 

[MKEagle]

For reference when making your brackets... although Purdue seems to be a popular choice for an early exit

 

[Irish#1]

If there was a year for Purdue to advance deep this is it. Not having an opportunity to play against Edey previously is going to cause problems for some teams.

 

[Irish#1]

Give the coach credit for trying to get his team ready. FDU is the shortest team in the tournament. lol

Fairleigh Dickinson coach: 'The more I watch Purdue, the more I think we can beat them.'

Fairleigh Dickinson's basketball team was feeling pretty good about itself after Wednesday's 84-61 First Four win over Texas Southern.

Purdue tends to struggle against the quick teams right?

Whoever decides to press Purdue from the start will be the team that beats Purdue. Those young guards don’t handle the press well.

Purdue won’t get past FAU or Memphis. Both are going to pressure the hell out of Smith/Loyer.

They tend to bring the ball back and to a side instead of getting in the middle of the court and pushing the ball.

 

[Irish#1]

Furman giving UVA all it wants.

Maryland has dug out of a hole to lead by two at the half.

 

[Irish#1]

Furman with the first upset of the tournament.
