    March Sadness for me. Once again, my Gamecocks nowhere close to being in the tournament. 

    I hate to say it, but with Zion back, I think Duke is the favorite to win it all. I hope that somebody puts it together and knocks them out early. Other than pulling against Duke and Tennessee, I just want to see a lot of upsets the first weekend.

    That kid at MSU is going to be ok I thought?  Not even season ending?

    I got Zaga losing in the elite 8.

    Duke running the table this year.

    My team sucks so I didn't pay much attention or know much of anything this year.  All I know is ESPN posts about Zion 37 times an hour so I guess I'm going with PukeIMeanDuke.

    what Zion did in the ACC Tournament after missing a few weeks was pretty damn impressive.  I think Duke and North Carolina are the two best teams in the country.  Carolina's bracket is brutal though.  Can't decide on which of those as my champion.  I just can't trust Virginia.  I think the committee pretty much got it right with the teams this year.  looking at the teams that didn't make it i don't think any of those really have an argument to be in.

    hell of a play in game. I’ll regret this statement, but I could see FDU taking out the Zags.

    You trust Virginia?
  • WobbieWobbie Posts: 29,862
    I think I have this right.....Duke is the worst three point shooting team in the tourney.

    plus, they’re not particularly good at the foul line.

    Not really, but don't really trust anyone else in that region.

    Its over so quick.  Before you know it, its at 16.

    I wish they would somehow devise a way to better wire-in the conference tournaments, so march madness could really start with everyone and 2 weeks ago.  The conference tournament brackets could feed directly into the NCAA tournament brackets somehow, and spots are there, pre-determined for at-large teams, who get put into a pool and start to be evaluated and ranked right when the lose in their tournament. Like a running ranking to enter into corresponding seeds in the tournament

    They can't do that.  They hand pick the teams to go in certain places to make the tourney interesting and somewhat fair.

    It would be a cool idea though.
