Discuss the tournament brackets, matchups, and games here…
-
So we get the winner of Texas/Xavier and then a potential shot at Kentucky next round to finally avenge 1984...or lose by 30 while shooting 6/40 from three or some thing.
-
Could be worse, could have been better.
-
I look forward to the point in the tournament when we go on a 6 minute scoring draught and keep chucking up threes
-
Never any easy draws in the middle of the pack of the tournament. Would be cool to get a rematch against Tennessee though
-
UNC gets in because their AD has a seat on the committee. Nothing fishy going on there...

Oh but he wasn't in the room....gimme a fuggin break.
-
We win 2 games, we lose the third. We "should" beat Texas/Kentucky. We "could" lose either one as well, we "would" be well served to take the basketball to the rim in either one to win them as well. Tennessee rematch is what I see.
-
A 6 in Milwaukee is great.

the king of hot takes with a hot take
I can't envision a better result for this team. We weren't gonna be a 5. We get a team that has to do a play in game, and we get to play our first two games with a home crowd. No other team is gonna travel to this game like the Illini.
Then we get Kentucky - a program as completely schizo historically as our current team. Hell, I would not be shocked to see that second round be Troy vs Texas/Xavier. Maybe we suck out and get Troy - granted we probably lose that game, but I'd like our chances.
If somehow we manage to get through all that, the next round is in Indianapolis. We'd probably either get a team we beat in UCLA or a team we almost beat in Tennessee.
I'm not saying we're even going to win our first game - we probably won't - but if you were going to pick a bracket setup - this is pretty much top of the list.

We're probably as likely to beat Tennessee in Indy as Kentucky in Milwaukee.
I guess it's just the monster conferences causing all these conference games in the sweet 16. If our bracket goes to form, both R32 games are SEC vs Big 10
-

I was hoping for Denver or Seattle and would have gone.
If you don't go to the game, delete your account

I don’t like having to play a brand name program in the first round as a 6 seed. Other than that, pretty happy. Just have zero confidence in this team or which one is going to show up. Will not be shocked if we made it to the second weekend, would not be shocked if Texas mopped the floor with us either.

Agreed with all that, but I think that the committee would more fairly matched us up in the first round with 10 seed Arkansas. Somehow that job fell to Bill Self. Knowing the committee they had us on the 7 line and just couldn't resist "Kansas/Arkansas" in the first round, and we got a break.
Also, after this thread, 5 bucks says we lose to Xavier.
-
A 6 in Milwaukee is great.
How did we get Milwaukee and Purdue gets shipped to Rhode Island as a 4? Probably something to do with the timing of playing the TX/Xavier winner and that needing to be a Friday game
-
UNC getting in is criminal…
-
wouldn't surprise me to see Purdue lose in the first round this year once again
-
The top 4 seeds in the West are
Florida, St Johns, Texas Tech, Maryland. LOL
-
Pitino all the way

A low key result of conference alignment. UCLA, Oregon, Arizona one of them probably wins the Pac-12, and has a solid enough record beating up on the conference to at least get a 3 seed, probably a 2. Throw in a down year from the Zags, and Colorado State winning the MWC, Arizona not having a BIG year (still - how are they the 4 out East?)
-
Pitino all the way
I'll probably go if St John's makes it that far.

All about ratings with equals money.....

Goes without saying but go aztecs
-
SDSU not exactly putting up a fight this evening. Horseshit UNC was in but hard to argue with at least this result.
-
Texas and Xavier starting. Xavier has been hot, Texas has not. Different quality of leagues of course. Who ya want?
-
Xavier went in as the favorite. We need to beat whoever wins to keep playing.

Texas has been able to stay out of foul trouble, but they do not share the ball (6 asst) first half, and they have (16 boards). Neither team is playing stringent defense with over 50% shooting.
Creighton was supposed to be the 3% team, so far Texas is better.
We get Texas, we have to clamp down on 3 defense, and out rebound. If we do that we are winning going away, if not and we shoot 30-40 3's with our normal % then we won't. I will go with the former option!! Bring on them Hookers...I mean Horn's, Hook them Horns.

If it's Texas, they aren't that big and Boswell is going to have to take care of Mark.

Miller looks like a young Jackie Gleason.
-
Texas on their heels now. I kinda thought Texas would be a better matchup for us but who knows which of our teams will even show up.
-
Xavier it is. Woof.
-
Sean Miller regarding Illinois, “I don’t care.”
Bulletin board material, Brad…
-
Would be funny to get bounced from the tourney by Brad Underwood's eventual replacement. 8)
-
Xavier it is. They may still be tired on Friday with how they played in the 2nd half but they also played with their best players in foul trouble in the first half and they're better coached. We have a size/rebounding advantage. Hopefully we don't shoot 15% from 3.

We wouldn't meet Grand Canyon until the National Title game.
-
Miller seems like that little kid that you want to beat up.
Xavier better shoot again like they did tonight, they do not have the depth at the positions they need to handle our "best" team, that said our team doesn't seem to be able to handle our "best" team very well either.

Let's go

I like when the tourney starts with an 8/9 game, so I very quickly lose my illusion of having a semi accurate bracket.
-
I joined the Draft King to lose money quicker

It's a great 4 days. The sooner my brackets get shattered lets me enjoy the rest of March Madness.

Damn 'bama St. Had a chance to go up 1. Missed 2 freebies, then give up 7 unanswered.

Indeed - they get to once again blow a Sweet 16 shot by losing to a double digit seed in the round of 32
-
Lol @ Clemson and Louisville repping the ACC strong today.
-
McNeese was the easy upset pick.
-
Adios, Hunter Dickhead. Nice disappearing act tonight, buddy. His turnovers late led to Arkansas to taking over the game.
-
Kansas played as they had all year. Not a clutch team, and Hunter is the type of player who gets big numbers but can't win for shit.
Mizzou got a terrible Loyola-like draw.
-
Let’s go Drake!
-
And out goes Mizzou
-
Iowa needs to go after McCollum.
He was born in Iowa City and from Storm Lake and is a winner.
-
Yep, McCollum seems like a really obvious call for them. From what I've seen he's a better coaching prospect than Devries. Guy brought in D2 recruits and won 30 games in the MVC. It'll be like Bo Ryan is back but if you're Iowa you can't exactly bank on getting 5-star guys like Bruce Pearl is still stalking the Chicago Public League anymore.
-
Got a good one now with UC San Diego and Michigan
-
Wolverine fan sphincters must be feeling pretty tight right now
-
Would have loved to see Michigan choke that away. Other night games have mostly been duds.
-
Thank you McNeese and Drake.
A good day for the Big10. Let's keep it that way.
-
LOL Mizzery and KU.
That Kansas team was a terrible display of NiL gone wrong. Self threw the team under the bus after saying they have to do a better job evaluating the portal. Lolol.
I picked scUM to lose would have liked to see it but then one of my kids has them losing to Duke at the end. Maybe they make a deep run now after that game last night.
-
AJ Storr is trash…
-
So is Sean Miller but his teams always play hard.
He's much smarter than his brother. If we don't bring A game, it's not going to be good.
-
The mighty SEC.
Including the play-in they're 4-3.
In bowl games they finished 8-7.
Go Baylor !!!

RMU’s coach is such a Toole.

10 over a 2 is a pretty big upset

Blackwell is driving, loses his footing and the ball. Should have been a turnover and BYU ball. BYU somehow gets called for a shooting foul. A BYU player points up to the scoreboard for the replay and gets called for a T.
Wisco gets 2 shots for the T, 2 shots for the foul and the ball off of what should have been a Wisco turnover. Lol
BYU ends up 11 at the half, 47-36.

UCLA getting ran off the court.

Mick Cronin coached UCLA is just wrong. UCLA should be fun basketball, not ugly and grindy with Bill Burr’s long lost leprechaun brother on the sideline blowing up the whole game.

UCLA with a John Groce fake rally to make it "close" in the end.
-
Still in in my survivor pool.
Purdue, then Oregon, then Tennessee.
Taking Maryland tomorrow. Obvious chalk that hopefully gets me through a round, means I won't have them for the elite 8 if they get that far, but the 2nd day of the sweet 16 is rough, it's all chalk so far. Makes it hard because you don't have any easy outs unless you take a top #1 seed, but if you do, you might run out of teams later on. So I'm bypassing ISU/MSU which seem like better choices, hoping that one of them gets upset and I can take the other one for Mar 28.
This is a lot harder than it would seem. We started with 700 entries, and already we are down to 350. Because you can't just take 1/2 seeds early, you have to pick some lower seeded teams and dodge the upsets. Even in a chalky year, half have washed out in 3 days.
-
Sounds like a hell of a concept.
-
Florida needs to be careful, a decision may not win this game...better figure how to get that knockout.
-
If only the Gators could make some free shots
-
Please finish this, Florida
-
Nothing like some freebies missed to make things harder than they need to be.

A decision is plenty good enough.

Eventually you basically have to pick a correct bracket, and hope you actually can and that nobody you picked early made a run.
If you get to the final four, you have to pick a team to win the semifinal that you believe will lose in the final, to a team on the other side that you didn't pick. So you need a team alive on both sides of the final four or you're dead. That means you have to start thinking way ahead of time, and pretty much not use the one seeds the first weekend.
Right now I'm hoping for MSU to get beat and knock out a big chunk of the field. Oregon winning also knocks out a big chunk but I have already used Oregon. Not really a big deal as I expect them to lose to Duke, and I am not gonna pick Duke in that game. If Oregon beats Duke I'd be in trouble. If Purdue beats Houston I'm in very big trouble.

Get used to this type of tourney, NIL has effectively killed the mid majors and it’s only going to get worse until someone develops some kind of framework for college sports.
-
Painter schooled by Sampson on that inbounds play. Hate to see it.
-
That play was a thing of beauty. Why did Smith leave the inbounder?
-
Was a little surprising but must have been thinking cutter who got ball was going to be the the only shooter option with 2 seconds left.
Smith did shred Houston when they kept blitzing him and wouldn't take that off. Smith is kind of a dick but very good PG.
-
Frustrating night of hoops apart from Izzo advancing. All the people bragging about their brackets when they simply picked the top 8 to make the EE is laughable.
Michigan was looking good and then they got a taste of what we got last year. Though our 30-0 deficit was more like 20-2 or 30-5 or something.
Wasn't impressed with May and lack of adjustments. Goldin was terrible all game as was the point guard, so many turnovers. The two 7' worked until it didn't, they weren't defending as a unit and getting back. And with ball control issues May should have brought in another ball handler. Still, impressive season for Michigan and Auburn looked really freaking good the last 10+ minutes of action.
Purdue over achieved and I'm surprised they kept it close but really wanted either one or both of Auburn and Houston to lose. Damn that inbound play, I see that stuff in middle school and AAU but not at that level.
We'll see if MSU can knock off Auburn. Going to be tough.
Duke looks really good and love their pick and roll and alley oop plays to Maluach (sp). Flagg is so good. Rooting for a Duke v MSU title game.
Florida's coach is a creeper hope they lose.
-
C'mon Red Raiders! Be nice to see #1 knocked off! Gator coach is a weenie!
-
The game had the smell of a bracket buster, but Florida had other ideas.
-
So Tech choked. I could feel that one coming in my bones.

Duke has lost 1 game since November and they look like it.
-
To make us feel better, Tn and Houston are a combined 4-31 from 3 with Tn getting 2 of those out of 19 shots from 3.
-
Sparty over halfway to a 0-30 run....
-
Msu not shooting that great either lol, but hey they are getting lots of offensive boards
-
A horrible start for Sparty but it's nice to see other teams brick it from 3.
-
Sparty over halfway to a 0-30 run....
Of course free shots break it after a play call following a timeout. Wish Illinois had a staff that could do that.
-
MSU guards are like 5 of 50.
And Big Ten is so over rated, again, every year. We would have lost by 30 vs any of these 1 seeds good thing we sucked and got bounced early.

Brings back memories of the bad old days of Weber recruiting. It seems like Bruce would lose out on a guy like Jon Scheyer, or Eric Gordon and he'd be devastated.

Yep. We've gotten to the point were losing a kid like Fears last year is no longer considered a death sentence to our chances of winning. Underwood knows how to put together a team that at least qualifies for the TOTTM. I know, not good enough in the eyes of PAMan. :D

That was a glorious gag job by the golden boy Flagg and Duke.
Unfortunately, Sampscum advances though.

Pretty boring game until the end. Then it got real damn exciting

Both games today were fantastic

Have Florida in a Calcutta so happy Duke is out

Wasn’t quite 2005 Illinois comeback level, but it wasn’t terribly far off.

The Houston-Duke game was pretty much 30 minutes of meh after the Fla-Auburn game. But then .....
Great finishes in both games.

LFG Gators !!!

Hey fellas. Who we got?
I'm sure CBS needed Duke to win Saturday, and that might cost them. I kinda hope Houston goes ahead and gets the job done.
Anyway, enjoy the video in my sig. Go Cougars!!!
-
Holy fuck I just watched that video again. That's so god damn good.
PRIORITIES???!!!!!
-
Wow they're really letting them play physical tonight, big advantage for Houston
-
Good thing free shooting and defense doesn't matter anymore.
-
And now the refs need to make their presence known
-
Fla didnt look like they had a chance vs Auburn.
Houston didnt look like they had a chance vs Duke.

It's a 40 minute ballgame.

Just great defense by Florida down the stretch.
Suck it, Sampscum.

Jewish coach with the win. Sorry QAnon97!

Would be nice to have a coach who can make effective 2d half adjustments

Grange, sounds like Denver getting its ass kicked by Western Michigan.

I too thought it was over. We'll see what happens in OT. Carle is a very good coach!

Next Blackhawks coach allegedly!
Double OT!

And just like that the dream is over, Grange
Buim with the turnover.
-
He did his part and has had a great career.
I'll be rooting for WMU in the finals. Sure glad I didn't travel to St Louis.
-
WMU looked good. And a 2 programs getting to the Frozen Four for the 1st time is good for the sport.

The state of hockey can get over some things quick when hard water season turns to fresh water season.
Lfg Broncos !!!

Curtis Strange aced #12 at Augusta in 1988. Over 10,500 tee shots later on #12, Augusta is still waiting for the next ace.
!!!!!!
-
Just when you think Winnipeg and Hellebuyck remain choking dogs they not only tie St. Louis in the third period but win it with a goal with 1:30 left and add an empty netter.
Plus we got some good old hate brewing between these teams!
-
Yep. The game changed quite a bit when the Jets got it to 3-3.
-
Grange's squad looked good demolishing Robertsonless Dallas.
-
Mn, that Vegas goal with 0.1 had to blow your Minny +1.5 goals and under bets!

I ain't saying

A couple of good early games last night but no fisticuffs in the Blues vs Jets. We may have to wait for game 3.
My bets are in for tonight's Wild game.

Late games were fantastic too. Edmonton and Dallas will not go away quietly
-
NBA games were good too.
Watching Shaq have to go take a piss while Charles was talking was funny. They do a great job on that show. Far more interesting than the NBA itself.

Yeah, that TNT set is pretty fucking awesome

The White Sox should get the Korean ladies from the Korean retirement retirement center harmonica class that have done the anthem before the LA King games to do the anthem here. Worked for the King so far.
-
A retirement retirement center ?
Is that where people go when the car keys get taken away and you have to sell the house ?

You're never too young to learn new things.

I wish the TBS technical difficulties required TBS to show the French feed of the Habs Caps game.
-
Prevent defense prevents the King from winning. Though Fiala hitting the post didn't help.
The retired Korean ladies from the harmonica class better bring their A Game Tuesday for the anthem.
-
I'm sorry but James Harden bball is so annoying to watch.

Not looking good for Mn's squad as people are leaving the arena!

Hate to say it but Vegas deserved the win.

I was going to ask if the lady soldier feted by The Wild before the game was Mrs. Mn. Oh, and Dino Ciccerelli still sucks!
-
First time in over 20 years a fanbase gets 2 game 7's playing at same time. Nugs and Avs are first since Stars and Mavs in 02 or 03.
Wouldn't happen in LA.
-
They showed the team that scores 1st in game 7 wins 76% of the time one too many times.
The Stars got pissed.
-
Hope Grange put his cup on after the Nuggets won, as that third period was a kick to the nads.
-
Yer fukkin kiddin me. 1.6 seconds to go.

I've been trained, albeit the hard way. Hell, I'm posting here. Most folk around here had the Avs advancing , not the Nugs.
-
A reminder that the team that scores 1st in game 7 wins 76% of the time.

Suck it, Blues!!!

Free shots mattered in OKC. Grange happy the Chet dude focuses more on commercials than on free shots!

Flash Gordon strikes again! Adelman probably earned the promotion.
-
Great game last night. And love to see Chet miss a dunk then a three then two FT and Nugs finish off the great comeback for hard fought and well deserved win.
-
The Leafs are lucky it's still 0-0
-
Leafs a lot like Illinois sports. Just one kick in the nads after another right after you think they figured it out

How does an entire team show up half a step slow for a game 7 ?

panther coach made some great adjustments after period 1

He was promoted just now!

Congrats to Mn on his Minnesota Frost winning their second-straight Walter Cup by beating the Ottawa Charge in Game 4 of the PWHL Finals. Hopefully Mn can resist rioting and looting.

That can be corrected. Gump Worsley at that age still had some Chiclets.

It's only the state tournament but for some it's TOTTM.
"The Champlin Park softball team, perennial bridesmaids for most of the past decade, finally scaled a hump that had grown mountainous, leaning on the right arm of lanky junior pitcher Marissa Rothenberger to defeat Rogers 1-0 in the Class 4A, Section 5 championship Thursday."

Grage with the wrong verbiage in his post about the Rogers girls team seeing their state championship dreams get crushed, using "biological male" rather than "lanky"
-
lol
-
Suck it, Rogers! Champlin Park getting it done anyway possible!
-
Well, that certainly was an exciting professional ice hockey match.

A much needed win for the team from up north after giving up the late goal.

Can't believe I'm cheering for Canada but yep. Great game last night. Florida dominated that OT and still loses. Love a 2-2 game five in any sport.
Hoping SGA goes off tonight and we have that for NBA as well.
