NCAA Tournament Thread

If someone other than us has to go undefeated, I guess I’m all right with it being Gonzaga.

I can agree with that. Never have heard much garbage about the program, gotta like the style/ efficiency. Some mighty good basketball players that didnt get all the ratings pub we hear. Dont see em showboat much, no celebrating while the other team runs down for a layup, under rated defense because the offense is so good. USC was a really good defensive team.....gave up 80+ to the Zags.

AND....they arent named Duke, North Carolina, UCLA.....or Indiana.

If they go undefeated this year, (especially as insane as this year has been) they've done great work.

Wouldn't bother me if they did.

If somebody has to do it I don't mind if it's Gonzaga.

But I'd rather they get beaten. I don't want somebody out there perfecting the college game unless it's Kentucky.

Even if they go undefeated, it's still not 40-0. (Still impressive).

It’s depressing watching Johnny Juzang test it up and seeing what coulda been at Kentucky.

[JFCats22]

Juzang with 18 in the first half.

UCLA had 4 points 10:00 into the game and is somehow leading at halftime.

For anyone who hasn’t paid attention the NCAA gave the Big10 9 bids—which was 3 more than any other conference. Not only that but 2 of them were 1 seeds and 2 were 2 seeds. One of them made the elite 8. None made the final 4. 1st one seed out...Illinois. 1st two seed out...Ohio State.

Epic failure by the current darlings of the committee. Possibly biggest ever by a conference. Next year they’ll probably get 10 bids.

Congrats to Johnny Juzang who continues to shine.

Guard play and shooting rules the day in this tourney for the most part, Big 10 was deficient in both areas during this tourney

John Juzang is one of those guys Kentucky fans point at and "there , and why, an I wish"

UCLA is on a scary run. the selection committee is saying we TOLD You! Instead of 9 big ten teams?

If UCLA wins a banner with this team some of the fan base will come even further unglued than they are now.

WOW...Still can't believe Michigan lost.....thought they would make the championship game

The selection committee had them in the play-in game. They clearly underseeded the entirety of the Pac 12.

Really don't like UCLA. Michigan played absolutely awful and deserved to lose.

UCLA passed UK in Final Four appearances last night. Don't see how they ultimately win the title but that would give them 12....ugh

[Dwight Schrute]

I think Gonzaga will paste them, but I thought UCLA would've been beaten long before now.

More intrigued by the Baylor/Houston matchup though. I think Baylor wins it but I'm not positive.

[40bill]

couple of interesting games for sure.

[40bill]

and I guess Kelvin Sampson joins Bruce Pearl on the show cause/ final four list now.

Meh. Whatever. Guy’s a hell of a coach and amateurism is dead.

Until a coach starts cheating in a way that gives him carte blanche during every annual recruiting cycle, I’m not getting bent out of shape about over this or that violation. The game has been dirty for decades, yet the best teams still find ways to lose in the tournament year in and year out.
