Any NCAAM BB fans here?

A two seed is so much better than a three. I hope you make it. Notre Dame losing lol. I love it. I missed the game.. who took em out? They were looking pretty hot coming down the stretch.

Louisville took em out :]

by the way, North Carolina is losing bad to Clemson

 

[olbriar]

Looks like they are storming back now. Down by four at the five min mark. I'm no NC fan.. Go Clemson!!!

Seems unfair to knock a team without some lame excuse lol. I don't like NC just because of coach Roy. I didn't like the way he left KU. That's a pretty lame reason to dislike a team I admit.

same here, clemson gonna win anyway

 

[phantom phenom]

so which team will be this year george mason or butler ?

I'll say san diego st

 

[olbriar]

I think you might be spot on there. Their record shows their toughness. Hard to predict until we see the seeds and bracket but they will open some eyes.

Im temptin to pick BYU but after Davis's saga. i dont think BYU will make it past first or second round..

damn NC/Clemson just went to overtime.

Look like kentucky is winning so it'll be tough sec championship game against my gators if they take care of business against vandy

man, I hate ****ing Wildcats!

 

[olbriar]

OT lol. Clemson better buck up or NC will take em. As for Davies, they will likely consider his hand slapped and he'll play in the dance. You don't need that crap going down the stretch though. You never know what it does to a team.

yea but BYU is one man team, if it weren't for jimmer then BYU wouldnt be in the tournament.

That is the way with most all teams.. you have a go to guy and he has to be in the lineup. You dip below the #1-3 seeds you don't find a lot of scoring beyond the MAIN man and you don't see much if any bench points.

Clemson is in serious trouble!

now Im rooting for VT to upset Duke

 

[olbriar]

I thougth Michigan might give Ohio State a better game.

yea me too.. look like Ohio State'll be overall number one seed in the tourey

 

[olbriar]

I suspect they will... yeppers. I'm a huge KU fan but as long as we get a #1 seed.. I don't need the overall. You have to win them all anyway.

GO VT!

yeah, I recalled the last team overall number one team to win the NCAA tourey was back in 2007 Florida Gators!

It rarely buys you anything. In fact.. it often seems the easier quarter goes to the #3 or 4 for some reason. Of course.. that's through my eyes and I rarely pick stellar brackets for my lack of cleverness/luck. I would love to see KU and OSU in the finals.. but hell.. they might neither make it that far. KU has talent talent talent and a bench to die for and yet they play dismal ball often.. and of late. They might not make it into the elite.

I think KU have better chance go to Finals than OSU because OSU's in big 10 and rest of big10 teams are terrible but Wisc.

The big twelve is pretty decent.. especially this year. It's refreshing to see Colorado making it into the tourney. They have been the laugh of the conference for some time. Everyone best take them seiously... they have some talent and are well coached. Texas is a force too. If they could get some offense going they would be unstoppable. They play some fantastic D. I like Texas A&M too. They will make some post season noise. I hope playing against these teams has honed KU into being a predator instead of a participant. I haven't seen them put a sneaker to a throat all season.

 

[olbriar]

Rock Chalk Jayhawks.. woooooooo. A great win for KU. Always nice to get revenge.. especially when it's a win over Texas.

eh Florida lost today but I still believe that both Florida and Kentucky able to grab number 3 seed in NCAA Tournament since NCAA bracket'll come out at 3 pm

yea but we got lucky lol. I think BYU should be number 2 seed instead of Florida which should be number 3 seed.

Florida's road to Final four is much easier.

Big Cincinnati fan here and this is their first tournament appearance in 6 years and first as a member of the Big East. Of course they draw a tough assignment in the 1st round against 11th seeded Missouri, who I think should have been a 9 seed.

I watch a ton of college hoops and while I'm no expert, a few seeds were headscratchers. A 2 seed for Florida is too high as is a 5 seed for Kansas State, which lost 3 times to Colorado, who IMO has the biggest beef about getting left out of the field. How VCU got in as an at-large is beyond comprehension. Ohio State, the no.1 overall seed, also ended up the in the tough bracket when looking at the 2,3 and 4 seeds if you ask me.

I'm excited all 4 games will be televised on separate channels for the first time ever and my Bearcats play at 9:50 PM EST on Thursday night so Friday is not going to be a productive work day, at all...
