I'm glad the LSU-NC State game is in the night slot. I can't wait
Yeah good luck vs NC State...
But, I've been hearing all year that you guys are going to be "scary good" next year. I mean I've probably heard 10x this year that LSU will be the "most talented" team in the country next year. Guess you guys got a great recruiting class coming in....
Yeah we landed the #1 overall ranked recruit and 2015 Naismith winner (HS national player of year) Ben Simmons. If Mickey and Martin (both NBA draft prospects and 1st team All SEC) come back next year, we should be a top 5 team.
Terrible X's & O's coach, but we haven't had good recruits like this since Marcus Thorton, Big Baby Davis, & Tyrus Thomas tbh.
Similar thing with what A&M is going through right now. Recruiting class is unbelievable for next season but Kennedy is an awful basketball coach.
Well my school has terrible recruits and a terrible coach.....
Be thankful you guys only have one of those.
But to stay on topic....
It's gonna be tough to beat Kentucky this year...as everybody knows. But I like Notre Dame's chances to come out of that bracket....those guys showed me a lot during the ACC tournament. But ....they've got to get past Kansas first. That's a uva bracket....
I think Notre Dame will make it to play Kentucky but I don't see them having enough. I think Wisconsin and Arizona are the two teams that could give Kentucky a run. It's a shame that they are in the same bracket.
Yeah Wisconsin looked good against Michigan St. yesterday....got to give them a shot. Still can't believe they won overtime 11-0. Michigan St. totally ting the bed in OT.
I must admit though....Villanova is a #1 seed and 32-2....and I don't think I've seen one minute of them play this year. Are they legit? Anybody watch them a lot?
I have only seen them a couple times. A lot of "experts" are picking them to go down in the round of 32 or round of 16.
Am I the only one believing in Bobby Hurley's Buffalo squad? I think that is going to be my 12-5 upset this year...
West Virginia will probably blow those ers out though
I'm going with Wyoming for the 12-5 upset. The MWC is a pretty underrated basketball conference and they just won that tournament. Larry Nance Jr is legit. That's the alma mater of my girl and her dad so that's who I'm pulling for even though their ceiling isn't very high tbh.
I think all 5 seeds actually advance this year. Too much talk around SFA. Wofford is the one nobody is talking about.

I only have crazy going down in the East bracket.
I'm only drawn btwn Butler/UT and G'town/EWU in the first round. Everyone else I've fairly decided.
Ole Piss picked a uva time to have a 62 point 2nd half.
