Ouch, SMU losing hurts me. Had them winning two games.

Ouch, SMU losing hurts me. Had them winning two games.

Me too. But it was a hell of a game.

 

[PDXFonz]

Damn USC won by 1 point? I saw SMU was up by double digits and thought that pick was safe. I have Baylor winning that one anyways. I think I only took usc on 2/10 brackets!

So far my best bracket is 19/22. It has Zags, Nova, Michigan, UNC in final four. Zags over UNC 76-68 in the final

 

[BonesJones]

Really surprised that USC is playing SMU so tough. They've come back from double-digit deficits multiple times in this game, and it looks like they're about to tie it up again.

They say that a play-in game winner wins another game each tourney; I picked Kansas St over Cincy, but it might be USC this year.

I'm not too surprised. They have 3 future NBA draft picks in Metu, Melton, and Boatwright.

This Marquette/ South Carolina game is pretty good.

This Marquette/ South Carolina game is pretty good.

I've been switching between UCLA and Kentucky.

UCLA looks great
Kentucky looks so-so

Lonzo Ball might be the best passer going into the draft in the past 10 years.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Kentucky's problem is how young they are. That's why I feel pretty confident of Wichita State beating them on Sunday.

 

[PDXFonz]

Marquette up 6 shooting 15% above their 3 pt average. I bet they come back down to earth and S Carolina steps up the defense in the second half.

 

[PDXFonz]

Fox looking great tonight

Marquette up 6 shooting 15% above their 3 pt average. I bet they come back down to earth and S Carolina steps up the defense in the second half.

I don't think so. Howard has only made 1 three and he is Marquette's and the country's best three point shooter. He's going to get more than 1 three pointer in the 2nd half.

They are so talented though. I'm worried about UCLA because UCLA is talented as well, but that's why I took UK to win it all. If they get past UCLA and UNC then I think the win it all. Based off how the 1-3 has looked the winner of that region will be my favorite to win it all.

They're talented, yes but they also have an immaturity about them too. When things are not going how they like they respond poorly.

Bam looks like a taller Biyombo

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

I love the pace of this game. Really enjoyable to listen to on the radio and moreso on tv.

 

[MickZagger]

UCLA will be lucky to make it past this game even. They play no defense and can't rebound for shit. TJ Leaf should be a SF in the NBA.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I want UCLA to lose just to see what LaVar has to say lol

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

C'mon Marquette! Need this win!!!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Ball's jumper is like if Marion and Camby combined forms lol

 

[MickZagger]

South Carolina's coach Frank Martin is a nutcase in the Bobby Knight mold, but gets results and kids always seem to like him. It takes a special person to go play for a coach that berates you. I had a high school baseball coach that berated me for petty shit and I wanted to kick his ass.

I remember talking to teammates that would say, "well at least he yells at you" that means he expects better from you.

Some people thrive off that shit.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

Hall on Kent State is a guy who will be getting some workouts because of this game, good for him.

 

[PDXFonz]

C'mon Marquette! Need this win!!!

Looks like you've got a thornwell in your side.

Looks like you've got a thornwell in your side.

Yep. I am officially all about chaos. Rhode Island beat Oregon, Villanova lose to Wisconsin. Duke lose to South Carolina. The more craziness the better!

I'm making a game thread for each round.

WHERES OUR THREAD DOG!?!?!?
