The West projection that includes UT, OU, and A&M has potential for high shit talk entertainment.

Seeing Tech on the board for the first time since the Bobby Knight era is refreshing.

[Juan]

We suck.

[DesignatedT]

We have a pretty good schedule to close. If we can win the next four MSU,Mizzou,Aub,Vandy I think we could end up a 3 or 4 with a decent conf tourney showing. Hoping that's the case. Hate those 5/12 match ups.

[DMX7]

We suck.

amazingly tcu beat texas though

[Blake]

Somehow CBS still projecting OU as a 1 seed

Is Baylor going to be the 5v12 upset this year?

Most likely. They're so hit & miss, they have no momentum.

Best guess is they get by Yale and fall to Duke. If they get past the Dukies, they will beat Oreg:loln but have no chance against OU

[Silver&Black]

I hate going with the top overall seed to win the Tournament, but I can't see ANYBODY beating Kansas. Plus, I look at their side of the bracket and I've got to pencil them in the Final Four.

Villanova really going to beat them? Miami?

[benefactor]

Taking out Aggy in the second round would be as good as a final 4 appearance tbh

[DesignatedT]

Taking out Aggy in the second round would be as good as a final 4 appearance tbh

Gosh that's embarrassing.

[DMX7]

Taking out Aggy in the second round would be as good as a final 4 appearance tbh

No way. That's Aggy thinking.

[Blake]

I like how UT, Aggy, OU and Baylor are in the West bracket while Tech, which is geographically further west than those schools, is in the Midwest.

[Blake]

Gosh that's embarrassing.

Agsessed!!!

[benefactor]

No way. That's Aggy thinking.
Texas is not very good and Aggy could easily wind up in the Elite 8. It would be a pretty big upset and even if they went out in the next round it would make for a nice finish to Smart's first season.

[Spurtacular]

The tourney is starting already? Seems like it's a week ahead of schedule (normal).

Sad to say that Texas is a prime upset candidate for tomorrow though. Hopefully we can pull through though.

Did you pick Baylor in your bracket?

Pretty obvious that was going to be the 12v5 upset this year.

Yes.

But also :lol Purdue

[Silver&Black]

Yes.

But also :lol Purdue

Yeah, that's a lol too. But, I think most people in the country got that one wrong. A lot more people were buying Yale than Little Rock.


It's been a while since I could do it, but I used to always pick Miss. St for 2 extra rounds. I couldn't help it.

[Silver&Black]

And :lmao at that "How did you get out rebounded" by Yale answer. I like that guy already....somewhere Pop is smiling.

[JMarkJohns]

Arizona was a mess in its transition year. Lost three pros and PAC-12 Tourney MVP from last year, brought in a few transfer seniors, and from opening tip the chemistry, the focus, the drive wasn't there with these fill ins.

Wichita shouldn't have been an 11, though. Severely under seeded.

[Mal]

Fucking Purdue choked. There played like idiots last 15 minutes of the game.

[Blake]

Lol damn how do you not wear an under shirt with sweat glands like that

[JMarkJohns]

That's literally the only time I've ever seen that happen.

Yeah. Bad shirt/sweat combo.

Not sure why he was sweating the team. He knew and admitted in coach speak that this team didn't care enough to beat a team that did like Wichita State.

[leemajors]

Lol damn how do you not wear an under shirt with sweat glands like that

I don't think any undershirt could stop that tbh.

[Holden_Caulfield]

Lol Cal

[Mal]

Big 10 fucking joke. Pac 12 also

[Mal]

Lol 1st seed MSU, lol brackets

[Robz4000]

:lmao Michigan State

:lmao State

:lmao Draymond Green

[Mal]

So Wichita is 11, Pitt is 10, Dayton is 7, Wisconsin is 7 as well :lmao

[playblair]

a&m = legit shot of making elite 8................

WVU down 7 as well

ATM is a very well coached team.

Cant hate em.

Well, I can, but I prefer not to.

Now down 13:lol

their best player house was blocked from transferring to texas............ a&m was the only texas school he could transfer to .................

[pgardn]

They played a team very much like them.

[pgardn]

Interesting.

What I see is guards who play good D and stick to what they are good at. Their Bigs rebound well and get lots of put backs. They are just solid. The SEC had two very strong teams.

[DMX7]

Big XII overrated big time

[benefactor]

smh longhorns

[pgardn]

Our bigs and our D off screens have been horrid.


Ridley and Shaq are Sumo fat. They really don't need to be on the floor.

[pgardn]

Just listened to halftime analysis.

One idiot think we beat teams by pounding the ball inside? WTF? Just because we have fat guys does not mean that's how we played. That's really bad research. We won by playing stout D and having Taylor penetrate and getting offensive rebounds from a number of guard types and bigs principally Ibeh. Ibeh did help on other bigs but he was by no means an intricate part of our offense.

Really bad stuff. If you are going to pull "basketball guys" from a trash heap, at least watch some game film.

[Mal]

Complete Annhilation.

I have UNC vs Oregon in final, so I am good as long those two produce

[Mal]

Texas - UNI down to the wire. I`ve bad feeling about refs playing importatnt role in that

[leemajors]

same result

[Mal]

OMG, half court shot

[Big Dog]

:lmao UT
:lmao

[TFloss32]

Good Lord.

[ColinB]

Felix was terrible down the stretch. What the hell was he doing out there.

[Mal]

Lol Cincy dunked after time.

:lmao First UConn game
:lmao now this

[Mal]

That was the last career play of that Cincy kid, oh shit

[pgardn]

Well...

ATM would have cleaned our clocks so...

Really played poorly the last bit of the season. That's the 4 th loss in what? 5 games?
Cant get too upset with no depth at C and a PG without his quickness.

Very good season on the whole considering the injury to possibly our best player early on.
We shall return.

[playblair]

Well...

ATM would have cleaned our clocks so...

.

[pgardn]

time for homers to admit a&m sec move has made them big brother.............. a&ms bb/fb/baseball have all recently been ranked inside the top 10 with wins over texas ............ a&m has a very legit shot at a final 4 run..........

In FB they are in the same position. Not gonna win anything.

Pretty accurate representation of my bracket right now...

:lmao Sparty fucked me with no vaseline. Had them in the Final Four.

[Robz4000]

Figures UT would get Curry'd

Shit, I had them winning it all in one of my brackets. The other has UNC but that bracket's been blown to hell now.

Ouch...

How's the NBA fantasy team looking?

Playoffs going now. I'm the second seed but it looks like the first seed is about to get 8'd

[TheCultOfPersonality]

3 Duke players outscoring the entire Yale team by 19 points. Embarrassing.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Duke choking big time.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Yale and Duke trying to outchoke each other now.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

:lol Plumlee scores the basket for Yale.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

3 Duke players outscores Yale by only 3 points.

[Mal]

That feeling when you have no problem properly pronounce Andrew Chrabąszcz last name.

[hehateme]

Kansas is the only team that actually looks dominant so far. What a crap shoot bracket this year.

[Spurtacular]

Haven't watched 5 minutes of the tourney. I used to watch all the games. I just got tired of all the bracket rigging by the elites. It's the same sh** every year.

[Mal]

ACC is storming through

[benefactor]

Northern Iowa doing Aggy just like they did Texas

[benefactor]

This is some bullshit. Aggy will win on a phantom foul call.

[Robz4000]

This shit is rigged as fuck. Unbelievable.

[unleashbaynes]

SFA lost on some rigged ass bullshit too.

[Mal]

SFA lost on some rigged ass bullshit too.

True that. Total random foul on that ND drive

[DMX7]

I've only watched one game so far. I can't remember a time when I was more disinterested in the tournament.

[elbamba]

The refs make college basketball unwatachable. Too many reviews and foul calls make the games last forever.

[Jimmiemac]

TCU hires Jamie Dixon

[Mal]

There is chance for all ACC final four

[pgardn]

Big XII overrated big time

Guess it depends on when you want to glance at the tournament bracket.

Tonight's Indiana vs. UNC game starts at 10pm on the East Coast. That's very late.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Gonzaga choking big in crunch time.

[Mal]

ACC with team in final already

[cjw]

Wow, just cancel the women's tournament already and move UConn to the WNBA. Up 61-12 at halftime in the Sweet 16.

No wonder these games are on before noon ET on a Saturday. Going head to head with college lacrosse, U-23 soccer and equestrian.

[Mal]

So Kentucky Scal Labisiere or whatever, who can`t reall catch the ball is as good draft prospect as fucking Buddy Hield, who`s going 40 pts on biggest college hoops stage. Hood luck with team, who draft some stiff over this guy.

[benefactor]

Cuse...:wow

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Another team choking to Syracuse.

[benefactor]

He sinks the second and it's over.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Syracuse = the George Mason of the tournament. A good Cinderella story nothing more.

[Robz4000]

Syracuse = the George Mason of the tournament. A good Cinderella story nothing more.

They got to the Final Four tbh. Nothing Cinderella about that. Mind, they're gonna get their shit pushed in by North Carolina.

[Silver&Black]

Cuse...:wow

I was lucky enough to catch that game last night. The choke was real.

Just didn't like how everybody gave Boeheim the credit. :cry Dat 2-3 zone got them back in the game :cry

That's bullshit. Did it help? Probably. But, don't tell me Virginia (one of the best teams in the ACC) doesn't know how to handle the zone.

They would beat every WNBA team, and would probably do it convincingly. Nobody's beating them.

Last 121 games:

120-1 (all wins by double digits) :wow

[Vito Corleone]

I made two brackets on espn, one had Michigan State winning it all the other had Villanova winning it all. My MSU bracket was shot to shit almost at once. However, my Villanova bracket had a final 4 of Oklahoma, MSU, UNC and Villanova. Of course I had MSU and Villanova in the finals, but hell I still picked 3 of the top 4.

[SAGirl]

Watching the game at home....
