    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.

    My Final 4 teams.  Well I did 2 entries.  Main one i had Duke, Michigan, Virginia and Iowa St. Duke over Virginia

    Second one I had Michigan St. Michigan, Virginia and Kentucky with Mich. St. beating Virginia.
    probably shouldn't have had Iowa St. in the final 4 :lol:

    Second one i'm actually doing pretty decent at 96% tile.

    Kind of? They had s three point lead with less than 20 seconds left and lost in regulation. That’s almost impossible to do. That being said I have no idea how Dawkins tip didn’t go in.  Johnny Dawkins had a great plan on d. Deserved better

    The guy should have just caught the alley oop bad pass and reset up 4 points with 2:30 to go. That was amateur.
