March Madness/NCAA Tournament Thread

[Thunder]

Well, I just watched VCU sneak by Drexel for the CAA Championship. Quite entertaining. Big East tourney starts tomorrow, my UConn Huskies trying to start the magic from last season all over again. Also, Syracuse reported that 10 players failed drug tests and played in a game soon thereafter since 2001. Welcome to the best month of the year except for October.

I've got 2 brackets (that I still need to fill out) one with a group of friends, the other a work group. I don't normally do well but it is fun!

[BSN07]

This year is so wide open, I don't like anyone way more then others. The first round is a mine field lol

[Laser Show]

The WSJ brought back its "blindfold brackets" for 2013. They don't tell you the name of the teams, and give a general idea of their seed/rpi, along with team ratings. It's pretty fun, and I ended up with a St Louis, Gonzaga, Florida, Indiana Final 4, with Gonzaga winning it all over Florida.

Yeah, my brackets tend to get screwed in the first round

In my $20 bracket I have Louisville, Georgetown, Kansas St & Miami. I have Georgetown winning it all. I'm sure I'm screwed! It is fun.

 

Good luck to you!

[Jasonbay44]

I'm in a small pool at work, only $10 entry.. I'm going with Miami winning it all

[BSN07]

I've got Ohio st beating Michigan. It was just too good to pass up

[italstallianion]

I haven't filled any out since Uconn has the tournament suspension. I just don't seem to care about college sports this year.

[jacksonianmarch]

Ital, I hear ya. Definitely didn't follow college ball at all this yr due to UConn's suspension. But the dance is still fun to watch

[Northern Star]

LOL at GONE-zaga.

[Thunder]

This really has to be one of the weirdest tournaments ever. Upsets, bad calls, good and crazy shots. I'm really entertained.

[redsoxfan3]

Big game today for my college as we take on UF. A lot of UF fans are talking s***. I would love nothing more than to make it to the Elite 8 by beating our "in-state big brother." I know that some of you do not probably care about the game, but cheer on FGCU as they try to keep making history.

[rjortiz]

Definitely rooting for you guys. Probably going to be a blowout though.

[italstallianion]

I don't care about FGCU, I just hate UF. Then again I haven't watched a single game of the tournament to date, and I don't plan on starting now.

Will do. With UConn not in, I was rooting for them since I saw they were beating Georgetown. :thumbsup:

[italstallianion]

Looks like we have a bunch of Uconn fans here. It's weird seeing some of Jacko's posts and being like "I agree"

Well, we have a lot of guys from Connecticut. Also, UConn is the best college team in New England since BC has gone off the map.

Wichita State to the final four

[Thunder]

Even when Ohio State went on that run, you knew that Wichita State would pull through. You could just sense it.

[Jasonbay44]

Did anybody see Kevin Ware's broken leg today? That had to be of been the most disturbing images I've ever seen. They showed a few angles where he was on the ground and the bone was literally sticking out of his body.

 

If anybody wants to see, here is video

But like I said, it is very disturbing.

Tough injury. He must have gone into shock pretty quickly with such a catastrophic injury.

[Youk Of The Nation]

That's like a 9.5 on the Theismann scale.

[DocHolliday]

Louisville looks like the team to beat, even with Ware out.

 

They completely shut down Duke for the better part of the game and should have similar results against Wichita State.

[italstallianion]

Now that the teams I hate are out of the tournament I have no idea who to root for or against at this point.

[Thunder]

Wichita State is the last Cinderella left, and I hate Louisville, so I'll root for them. I want a Michigan-Wichita State Championship game. After watching the Michigan games this weekend, I can't get Hail to the Victors out of my head.

[Jasonbay44]

Apparently someone made a fake twitter pretending to be that Kevin Ware kid to get retweets and be able to contact famous people... Some people are so pathetic.

Hey, give me a break, I've wanted to meet Brent Spiner for a long time.

I feel like some of those scenarios can be funny when done right but yeah this one was just stupid and pathetic. There are some people in the world I wish never procreate and pass their genes on.

[rjortiz]

Rudy, or whoever the f*** he is, is costing Michigan the game in the second half.
