NCCA Tournament Open Thread

Its been that way for a few years now in CBB IMO

For the most part you are right but there’s not Baylor/Gonzaga of last year. Or Nova/Carolina of recent memory, obvious teams this year. All the top 4 seeds, especially the 1’s are more beatable than in most years. Kansas should have a cake walk now though.

Only 9 15 seeds have ever won in the history of the NCAA tournament I just looked it up. I have no idea how long the NCAA tournament has been around, probably at least 40 or 50 years, that’s a tiny percentage of games played

It's actually 10 times now with Saint Peter...happened last year to the suckeyes

 

[Heart of The Playmaker]

I had to the sweet 16 and getting bounced. But yeah

I had them in the Final 4 losing to Gonzaga.

Go J'ville State...

Thank goodness for Chuck, calls it out for what it is. That 1st half of OSU game was dreadful.

Best Auburn has looked in a month. I know comp wasn’t good, but 23 assists is nothing to dismiss.

I was one of them, but I think Kentucky loss is going to cost me dearly. I had them getting to the Elite 8.

I made like 4 different brackets and had UK advancing in all of them. Even my backet full of upsets

ACC undefeated so far in postseason. VT in trouble though, ND looks to have game clearly in hand. Perhaps I underestimated the league.

 

[RBradleigh]

ACC 4-1 and two of those wins as the lower seed, not too shabby.
Go Canes!

 

[nobeastofburden]

Stupid to have starters in that late in the game up 20.

No question most ACC teams were playing MUCH better in Feb than they were last December (when Conference reputations were formed).

And now UNC up 13 at half over Baylor

 

[motorcitycane]

Im not surprised to see UNC do this tbh.

North Carolina looking pretty solid vs the defending champs! Gonna have to weather the storm it will be an intense 2nd half
