  1. NCAA Tournament

    I'm not nearly as high on Smith as some on this board are. I see an athlete that plays basketball more than a basketball player that is an athlete. If you look at his numbers his first 2 years of college you don't really see any growth as a player yet. His numbers are remarkedly similar on a per...
  2. NCAA Tournament

    TCU got robbed at the end, though that was good for my Bracket. My Bracket is so weird. I have only 9 of the Sweet Sixteen and 5 of my Elite Eight, but all 4 of my Final Four still left.
  3. NCAA Tournament

    FWIW, i'm not sure Texas Tech has enough offensive firepower to stick with Duke. I have them beating Duke in the next round but after watching them play ND i'm alot less confident with that pick. I think you have to be able to score in the 70's to beat Duke.
  4. NCAA Tournament

    ACC and B12 both with 3 teams through to the Sweet Sixteen. No other conference has more than 1. B12 has 2 more teams playing right now, P12 and B10 trying to get a second.
  5. NCAA Tournament

    My home state Badgers are in alot of trouble in their game. They lost their starting PG To injury late in the first half and have only scored like 6 points total since then over 10+ minutes,
  6. NCAA Tournament

    Enjoying the Mich St - Duke game so far. Feels like one that should go down to the end. I have Duke in my bracket but will not cry if Duke loses. Mich St is one of the few teams i've seen that really matches up well against the Williams-Banchero combo size wise.
  7. Can we stay competitive in the NIL era?

    The issue with this is that some of these talents end up at another blue blood type that has more room at their position - not moving down to the GT, Vandy kind of level. Generally the ones moving down to the GT level are ones that simply ended up not being that level of talent.

    I get that BJ McKie is an alum but going from targeting Sean Miller to possibly looking at McKie is an awfully big change. On Miller, I expect he will have to serve some sort of suspension once the official NOA is provided to AZ, but it will be interesting to see how he does in round 2 at...
  9. March Madnesss memories

    I root for ACC teams to win alot more than I used to as I realize the financial advantage to GT of those teams winning. Still almost impossible to root for Duke. After that Baylor game rooting for UNC is easier this year. I also will almost always root for an underdog like St. Peter's unless...
  10. NCAA Tournament

    So 9 teams through to the Sweet Sixteen from 9 different conferences. The last 7 will determine how many each of the power conferences get in the Sweet Sixteen Last 7 games are B10 vs BE B10 vs ACC B12 vs B10 ACC vs B12 ACC vs SEC B12 vs B10 B12 vs P12 The 2nd team is the higher seed in each...
  11. NCAA Tournament

    I'll wait until tomorrow night to see how conferences are performing. Right now you have 5 teams advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. One each from the ACC B10 Big East B12 Pac12 SEC is likely to get their first one through in about an hour.
  12. NCAA Tournament

    TN really faded late in that game. Haven't lost a FF team yet but TN losing is my 2nd Elite Eight team lost.

  14. NCAA Tournament

    That was nearly an epic collapse for the ages. Glad UNC won. I root for ACC teams in the Tourney, the more they win the better it is financially for GT. That all turned on the Flagrant 2. Without that call UNC likely wins by 20+. Manek and Davis are really the heart and soul of that team...
  15. NCAA Tournament

    Well i'm nothing if not consistent so far. I got 6 out of 8 games right in each of the 4 regions. I've lost 1 Elite 8 team, and 4 Sweet Sixteen. My bottom half of my East Bracket is lost (I had VT and KY), but other than that not too bad.
  16. NCAA Tournament

    Well, unfortunately Ill didn't have a lead until the final minute but they had it when it counts most. Can't wait for the late games to start as this LSU - Iowa St game is just ugly. Sometimes games are low scoring because of good defense. This is not one of those games. This is just 2 teams...
  17. NCAA Tournament

    I have Duke making the Sweet Sixteen and then losing to TT. I should have phrased a little better. I thought they had an relatively easy path the opening weekend. Duke is really good offensively, but they have been suspect defensively for weeks now. VT is going to kill my bracket. I had every...
  18. NCAA Tournament

    I'll happily take a Duke loss, even if it further messes with my bracket.
  19. NCAA Tournament

  20. The ACC in the NCAA Brackets

    There are actually alot of bracketing rules that have to be followed and the Region is much less important that what city a school is sent to - For instance Duke is in the West Region but is playing its first weekend games in Greenville, SC. If you want to see how complex here is the NCAA site...
