    Who is in your Final Four?

    It seems like I know almost nobody doing a bracket challenge this year. Even my work hasn't announced one yet. I did get in one very small one through my wife's office.

    I went pretty much with the top seeds. My goal in filling out brackets isn't to choose by preference or which teams I like or don't. It's to try and win the contest..

    My Final Four is:
    Duke
    Houston
    Arizona
    Michigan

    I have Duke and Michigan in the finals. It pains me too much to say who I have winning.

    Bonus question - how are you all watching the tournament this year? I had ESPN Unlimited during the season for $30/month, but the NCAA tourney is CBS/TBS/TNT/TRU. I ditched ESPN and I picked up HBO Max for a month at $17 which shows all the non-CBS games. I can get CBS no problem with an antenna.

    This will be the cheapest I've paid to watch the tournament since I ditched cable and went to streaming about 10 years ago.

    I would have picked Duke had their starting PG not gone down. I have Houston, UCONN, Arizona, and Iowa State. Arizona wins it over Houston in the finals.

          Don't get me wrong, I still hate Duke but not as bad as did when K was there.

            I am still debating if I'll do a full bracket this year, and I usually wait for the play in games to see who the 11 seeds will be; I think BYU will struggle with either Texas or NC St first rd. First glance, I think Zona would be my pick to win it all.

            Just paused my ESPN subscription for now, and might just watch the CBS games on rabbit ears. Not sure if I will add another service to watch the non-CBS games yet.

                Last year, I watched CBS, then used laptop to watch the other games. I had 2 pc and tv going. Pc connected to smart tv 32 inch screens, had 3 screens going. CBS did not charge last year to watch or stream.

                  I thought in past years you could only stream a limited amount of minutes of the games from the CBS site.

                    Not sure i have run into any restrictions. But I will say today just started watching and it has a timer of 1 hour. But I will see what I have to do.

                      Watched till the hour time limit was up. Then hit get access. Since I have spectrum, it went to my spectrum login and put the game right back on. I guess since I have Spectrum streaming service I get the game. Wife is watching TV in Den and I am watching off my Samsung flip phone..

                        Ah. That's what it was. I didn't have Spectrum access or any other subscription that includes TBS, TNT, etc. So it's not really free. That's what my $17 HBO subscription for a month covers.
