March Madness Discussion Thread

[Bulldog1]

Lots of good games on Today and Tomorrow. What big upsets do you have (5v12, 4v13, etc)? An interesting game to me is Auburn vs. Charleston tomorrow- I picked Auburn, but I’m tempted to change it. What is yall’s bracket looking like?

[Dawg61]

Filling one out right now. First one I filled out has Tennessee winning the title. I think we see a team like that win this year. I don't think it'll be a 1 seed. I think we could see a 16 finally beat a 1 this year and I think it's Texas Southern over Xavier. I watched TSU play last night. They are pretty legit. Their coach is Mike Davis. Y'all remember him? He wanted our job when he got fired at UAB same time Stansbury got fired. He has had TSU in the NCAA tourney 4 of the last 5 years and the other year they weren't they were in the NIT. He's a pretty damn good coach that I didn't give credit as when he wanted our job. He took Indiana to the national championship game in only his 2nd season. UAB should not have fired him.

[msstate7]

SDSU over Houston is my only upset pick today. Going conservative

Virginia is my winner even with losing their 6th man. Love their defense

[Bulldog1]

I’ve got Dirty Duke winning it all over Arizona. Watch Duke lose to the 15 seed today lol

Texas Southern started the year 0-13. They played Kansas, and other powerhouses, so they have definitely been battle tested.

[fishwater99]

Nova, AZ, Duke, Michigan FF, Nova over AZ in final

Upsets to look for
Cuse over TCU, NMST over Clemson, SDSt over OSU, Loyola over Miami, OU over RI,

[Bulldog1]

I have 10) Texas over 7) Nevada. I’ve also got Loyola Chicago over Miami, That’s 11v6.

[Bulldog1]

Nova, AZ, Duke, Michigan FF, Nova over AZ in final
Upsets to look for
Cuse over TCU- that’s a tempting one.
NMST over Clemson- I am contemplating my Clemson pick now.
SDSt over OSU- I like OSU to pull it out.
Loyola over Miami- I have this one down.
OU over RI- Also a tough one, but give me Rhode Island.
I added in my picks to these games.

[Dawg61]

Texas Southern started the year 0-13. They played Kansas, and other powerhouses, so they have definitely been battle tested.

Yea they asked Davis about that and he said if they could of scheduled the Houston Rockets they would have. Said it was the only way for his team to get better was to play the toughest OOC schedule he could come up with. Kinda refreshing to hear that. I like him. I used to not.

[Dawg61]

2nd bracket I have some crazy upsets. Arkansas in elite 8 after beating St. Bonaventure. SDSU over Oh. State. Auburn over Kansas and Michigan over Michigan St. for the title. Maybe it's cause I started watching Flint on Netflix but I have the state of Michigan having both teams in final game.

[Bulldog1]

I’ll tell you what to watch for: Stephen F. Austin over Texas Tech tonight. I didn’t pick it, but it could happen.

[BigEasyDawg]

I think Miami and Ohio st. loses.

I also have Mizz beating Xavier in the second round. They are a decent team and now have Porter Jr. back. Who knows what could happen!

[Dawg61]

I’ll tell you what to watch for: Stephen F. Austin over Texas Tech tonight. I didn’t pick it, but it could happen.

I have SFA winning too. Love how they play.

[Bulldog1]

I have SFA winning too. Love how they play.

I changed mine to SFA winning now (hope I’m right), but losing to UF in next round.

[parabrave]

Screw it. If Kentucky plays like it did in the SEC tourney you ain't stopping them.

[Bulldog1]

Screw it. If Kentucky plays like it did in the SEC tourney you ain't stopping them.

I’ll disagree with you right there. They won’t beat Michigan State, Duke, Nova, Arizona, or Virginia.

[parabrave]

If they play like they did against Tenn I believe they will. Tenn was a good physical team, as we found out, and UK slapped them. Made a decent Bama team look like ole miss and it's big boy time now. Cals bout to go into Coach overdrive.

[Dawg61]

I have Florida getting upset by St. Bonaventure in my 2nd bracket and Bonnies beating SFA in 2nd round to face Arkansas, that part of my bracket is all upsets basically with Arkansas making the elite 8

[Bulldog1]

Arkansas definitely has the talent to make a run.

[bobtail bob]

Watching Tennessee against Wright, is there any team that throws the opposing teams players to the floors as much as the Volunteers? It's uncanny how many players wind up down on the court against them.

[Dawg61]

Watching Tennessee against Wright, is there any team that throws the opposing teams players to the floors as much as the Volunteers? It's uncanny how many players wind up down on the court against them.

Very physical team. Tennessee has eleven 3* players and one 4* player. Pons the French guy with dreads is the only 4* on that entire roster. That's amazing. Barnes filled his team with dirtbag tough guys.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I?ll tell you what to watch for: Stephen F. Austin over Texas Tech tonight. I didn?t pick it, but it could happen.

I have SF Austin, Rhode Island, S Dakota State, and TX as upsets.

[Bulldog1]

I have SF Austin, Rhode Island, S Dakota State, and TX as upsets.

Isn’t Rhode Island a 7 and Oklahoma a 10.

[Dawg61]

Isn’t Rhode Island a 7 and Oklahoma a 10.

Yes, feels like an upset though

[Bulldog1]

Yes, feels like an upset though

Gotcha. They could possibly take Duke down next, but that’s a long shot.

[Bulldog1]

Man, I wish that shot would’ve gone in for Rhode Island.

[Dawg61]

Gotcha. They could possibly take Duke down next, but that?s a long shot.

RIU is running outta gas, think Trae Young U is gonna upset them

[Bulldog1]

RIU won, as did Tennessee.

[Bulldog1]

Loyola Chicago stuns Miami 64-62 on a last second 3 pointer! That was a great game.

[Lord McBuckethead]

man that one messed up my bracket. hate everything miami.

[MetEdDawg]

SDSU about to lose to Ohio State. So unless NC State can make a comeback I will go 4-0 in the first four games and 1-3 in the second 4 games.

[RocketDawg]

Loyola Chicago stuns Miami 64-62 on a last second 3 pointer! That was a great game.

The Uban Dictionary terms such a sudden loss as having been "Valpoed", much like we were against Vanderbilt. But the Bears hold the honor of naming last second losses.

[Bulldog1]

I’ll tell you what to watch for: Stephen F. Austin over Texas Tech tonight. I didn’t pick it, but it could happen.

SFA up by 5 with 13 minutes left in 2nd half. This is a good game.

[Dawg61]

SFA up by 5 with 13 minutes left in 2nd half. This is a good game.

I watched it in the first half with the insane TTech dunk but am watching Kentucky right now cause it's so close. I have SFA winning. Bracket is still perfect.

[Bulldog1]

My main bracket’s still perfect, but I have TTU winning. But I have a 2nd bracket, still perfect, with SFA winning.
Win, Win for me I guess.

You have two perfect brackets for a couple more minutes. Enjoy your perfection.

[Bulldog1]

Houston with a layup to go up by 2 with a second left. Wow!

[RocketDawg]

I see many of the Bama players failed to see their hair stylists in the off period. As someone said, I think on SPS ... they have the "nouveau homeless" look.

Close game going on there.

[RocketDawg]

Houston with a layup to go up by 2 with a second left. Wow!


What channel is that game on? I tried CBS, TNT, TBS, and True.

[RocketDawg]

OK, I see. It was on TNT. The guide had already switched to the Montana/Michigan game when I looked.

[whosyourdawgy]

Houston with a layup to go up by 2 with a second left. Wow!

How does the SDSU coach not double team the man bun kid and make him give it up early. They just let him dribble the clock out and played the best player on the court head up. Way too easy. He made a dipsy doo layup but easy for him. I almost woulda doubled him early, and when he passed it off fouled whoever caught it and made them shoot free throws to give me the last shot.

[starkvegasdawg]

Buffalo just bent #4 seed Arizona over and had their way with them on center court.

Yep, never again will I pick them.

SEC could set or tie the record for most teams in round 32 (7) today

[Bulldog1]

SEC a perfect 5-0 so far.

[RocketDawg]

SEC a perfect 5-0 so far.

Is that counting A&M over Providence? A&M won by 3. Arkansas playing Butler in about 5 minutes.

ACC powerhouse UNC is down 5 to (of all schools) Lipscomb.

[Dawg61]

Good games right now. Marshall bout to knock of Wichita St.

[tcdog70]

Naw, Hogs stunk it up. Wasn't even 40 minutes of heck

Leave it to Mediocre Mike to screw things up

[RocketDawg]

Nevada just tied Texas with 3.8 seconds left on a free throw (he missed the first of two). Then Texas had a turnover on the inbounds giving Nevada a chance to win with 1.8 seconds left. No dice ... going to OT.

Texas had just missed the front end of a 1 and 1 to put the game pretty much out of reach.

[dawgman42]

Ole Shaka Smart proving UT is anything but. Overpaid and underwhelming . . . perfect fit for the T-sips.

4Auburn no looking so hot. Down 2 to 13College of Charleston with 5 minutes left in the game.

Auburn won, but barely. 62-58.

[Bulldog1]

Virginia and UMBC tied at half. Pulling for the 16 seed!

[Dawg61]

UMBC is raping Virginia right now. We have a real shot at a 16 beating a 1. They're about to be up 37-22.

[BuckyIsAB****]

UMBC winning the natty

[Bulldog1]

UMBC is raping Virginia right now. We have a real shot at a 16 beating a 1. They're about to be up 37-22.

Yep. I’m loving every second of it. They are shooting good right now

[RocketDawg]

UMBC is raping Virginia right now. We have a real shot at a 16 beating a 1. They're about to be up 37-22.

Even if Virginia comes back and wins, which they probably will, this huge lead is pretty incredible.

[RocketDawg]

16 point lead. If this were to hold, it would be the bracket-buster to beat all bracket-busters.

[Bulldog1]

UMBC up by 16 now. Just scoring at will, driving to the hole. Virginia cannot stop them right now.

[RocketDawg]

UMBC up by 16 now. Just scoring at will, driving to the hole. Virginia cannot stop them right now.

Except they're not calling fouls on Virginia. UVA just picked up two 3-pointers. Lead down to 12 now. Hopefully UMBC doesn't get too excited and blow it. It's actually a hard game to watch ... kinda like watching us.

[Dawg61]

#64 is about to knock off #1. Talk about giant killers! That's what they should call themselves now on.

#63 vs #2 but point taken

Spot on, 7. On him.

Somebody needs to go give Danny Kannell some shit on Twitter. An ACC guy that trolls the SEC in every sport.

UNC might win it all, but the ACC overall has shit the bed.

[msstate7]

Martin (mizzou) is a good coach, but his decision to bring porter back was awful. 2 straight losses to prove it

[BeardoMSU]

Welp, 61 you were right...just had the wrong team doing it.

Wow. This. Is. Insane.

[Dawg61]

U Must Be Cinderella

[msstate7]

I am dumbfounded by Virginia game. I have watched them all year and they were terrific. Bennett deserves to be ripped big time over this. It is like they simply just did not respect their opponent at all to come out like this. I have been a huge Bennett fan, but I lost a bunch of respect for him from this piss poor effort

I like Bennett, but their slow pace, 50 point games wrecked my nerves on so many levels. They usually played fundamental basketball, but tonight looked like a steaming pile of crap.

You could see he knew they were gonna lose with ten minutes left. He was almost smirking about it.

[Quaoarsking]

Bennett = biggest NCAA Tournament choker ever? In 8 total appearances over Wazzu and UVA, 5 early exits:

--As a 3 seed, lost to a 6
--As a 1 seed, lost to a 4
--As a 2 seed, lost to a 7
--As a 1 seed, lost to a 10
--As a 1 seed, lost to a 16

Maybe but he's so highly seeded it's almost always gonna be considered a choke unless he makes it to Final Four. Tonight was the monster choke of all chokes though.

[MetEdDawg]

Porter Jr. clearly has some skill, but dang he’s done some dumb stuff. Bad shots, bad defense, turnovers, fouls. Not good basketball from him. Might be the worst 2 minutes sequence I’ve ever seen from a player of his caliber just now. I get he’s just now coming back, but dang. He’s a big liability to his team at the moment.

Bennett getting a DUI 6 days ago and being suspended didn't help

[Bulldog1]

More good games today. Bama and Nova play at 11. Duke and Rhode Island play at 1:40. Then the rest of the games start at 4 and go through the night. Couple that with SEC baseball, and we’ve got a fun day.

[RougeDawg]

The tournament is playing out like most logical persons would?ve initially believed after selection Sunday. The field was selected with bias and as they say ?the ball don?t lie?.

We were good enough to win most of those 1st round games that the other P5 Teams lost. OK is one. Put us in that spot and we have as equal a chance to win as OK, especially if you look at each team and the play the last 6 weeks of the season.

[Bulldog1]

I think Bama is gonna win this game.

[Bulldog1]

I take that back... They’re getting crushed lol!

Hope you didn't bet big $ on it. No way Sexton is not involved in the FBI probe. Roll Tide, Right Off a Cliff. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch. Hope Auburn with their dirty Coach and program are next. BTW, whatever happened to the internal investigation at AU that Pearle had refused to cooperate with? Strange.

No, I didn’t put any money on it. I thought Nova would win, but I was pulling for Bama.
Auburn will probably get busted after their season is over, at least I hope.

[RocketDawg]

Every time they showed him on camera, seems like he did have a smirk on his face.

Mullen would have a similar look when he lost a supposedly easy game, and caught a lot of grief over it on the boards. Whether it ever got to him, I have no idea. Personally, I thought it was just a look of amazed resignation. At least Bennett wasn't wearing shorts.

My favorite teams are MSU and whoever is playing UNM. Hail State! From the pitiful showing by bama, Mo, Arky, and this close loss by Tn, we should have been in the dance despite the strength of our OOC schedule.

All boils down to how someone deals with pressure and adversity. Newman isn't seen as the savior in Kansas. He's just another good college player. I've seen it a million times across all sports.

Thank Horatio for that. He thought he knew more than Howland, that’s why Malik went to Kansas- Bill Self did the same thing. Who knows more: 2 HOF coaches or Horatio; I say the HOF coaches.

[Percho]

Reckon he and daddy are still mad that he isn't playing pg or have they finely accepted it? That's what I am trying to say. It took all year this year for him to really get it. Do what the coach wants.

Michigan State v. Syracuse is a good game on CBS. Michigan State up by 3

Random but I love Syracuse uniforms, wish we did something similar. Just put State and wear all maroon. Also a big fan of Boeheim. I know he'd dirty but I love his zone. Wish we'd use it some.

I did too but it was getting ridiculous when 11 of the 16 teams were getting into the tourney. Issue I think was that the football schools had to share football money with everyone and some teams don't have D1 football.

Hope howland is watching this game. Zone defense is a good thing... it would really be effective as a change of pace for us

Aggies have 5 very nice players. Only five though.

[Bulldog1]

They only have, what, 7 scholarship players?

8 I think. One of the suspended guys is back now. Kennedy misses Stansbury.

Sure does. That was his recruiter

This Pearl's last game as Auburn coach?

Nevada ends game on 32-8 run. WOW!

If it really is, I wonder if brown will graduate this year. I would love to get him. Not gonna happen, but might as well dream

[tcdog70]

Howland could learn some things from Boeheim. Notice he always fouls when up 3 at the end.

Agree with Him.. also Ben should use a little Zone.. Can't figure out why not

[Bulldog1]

UMBC hanging with K-State. Pulling for the Ramblers.

Talking about transfers, I think I read that the NCAA is considering changing the transfer sitting out a year rule.

[Goldendawg]

Except for aTm, it has turned into KY and the SEC weak sisters again. I hope Ky gets stomped next game. Auburn turned into the "warchickens" I thought they were. Our men would have been much more competitive than most of these cheaters/losers. Hail State!

Brown can ball but he was pouting tonight and hasn't been the same since hurting his shoulder. Definitely would take him but he's lost some luster. He looked like an NBA all-star before the shoulder injury tho.

UMBC game has the shitty bald headed ref that cost us the Mizzou game

So they let him work it and not TV Teddy? They are both bad, but really? Those 2 and Karl Hess are the worst.

This game is 38-37 with 5 minutes left in the game!

If the Golden Retrievers make a couple of shots they'll win.

There’s your key. They better just make 1 shot first though lol

[maroonmania]

Yep, that one hurt me. I had Cincy into the Final Four though after watching them I think KY would have beaten them.

Now KY has no excuse not to get to the final 4.

[Dawg61]

FSU taking down #1 Xavier. Hamilton is a good coach. Always has tough physical teams.

[msstate7]

This is one crazy tournament

[Bulldog1]

This is awesome. Also, there is two 11 seeds in the sweet sixteen.

[LC Dawg]

Xavier really tightened up and let FSU win that game.
Only 2 #1?s in Sweet 16. I really wish we had made this tourney.

We are a better team than Oklahoma. The only reason they got in is because of the Trey Young publicity he would bring to the tournament.

[Dawg61]

Think I am rooting for Texas A&M now just cause of familiarity

[Bulldog1]

Look who’s reffing Loyola’s game. The bald headed guy from Missouri game. What a joke!

[RocketDawg]

Wonder who he's for? I guess we'll find out before the game's over.

[RocketDawg]

Could be they screwed up the seeding this time around. Don't think I've ever seen it this bad.

What was our seed in '96? Seems like it was 5?

[RocketDawg]

They need to get busy tonight if they're going to beat Michigan. Losing 14-6 early on.

I believe you’re right, a 5 seed.

Michigan embarrassing A&M so far. They can?t miss a 3

33-12

[Goldendawg]

I still think we could have represented the SEC better than some of SEC's teams (bama, AU, Mo, and maybe aTm).

[Bulldog1]

Loyola-Chicago and Nevada ties at 59 with 3 minutes to go. Good game

[RocketDawg]

Loyola wins by 1, but Webber was right ... the guy traveled. Probably wouldn't make a difference with basically no time left though. An 11 team in the Elite 8. Cool. Sister Jean must be doing something right.

[Bulldog1]

Only thing to make this slate of games better- UK to get steamrolled

[RocketDawg]

Was beginning to think that Kentucky wasn't going to score. Would be a shutout without that foul shot.

[Bulldog1]

13-1, 3 minutes into the game. I’m loving it. Que Cal start to ride the refs.

13-10 now. KSU stopped scoring.

[Commercecomet24]

I hope Loyola-Chicago wins the whole thing!

[Goldendawg]

Well, no mighty SEC teams left but Ky ( who I hope loses). The SEC's "weak sisters" are again losers.

[msstate7]

Gonzaga player takes 3 steps without dribbling to get layup... no traveling and even gets a foul

Or Ky as 16 of their 30 points against KState are free throws at the half.

Then too. But don’t ask them right now. They’re complaining about being cheated! Seriously.

Why is a girl commenting on the men’s tourney halftime show?

[Bulldog1]

Close game. Michigan up by 3 with 20 seconds left

[parabrave]

Gonna be an all catholic championship. Jesuits win

[Maroonthirteen]

Dead horse....yesterday?s news.... I know. But I?m getting a chance to watch duke and Kansas. Malik Newman is nothing more than a role Player on this Kansas team. Relatively speaking he is an average
Athlete that isn?t a superb shooter. I can?t believe Kansas doesn?t have a more dynamic player on the bench.

[RocketDawg]

Duke/Kansas is a really tight game. Closer than I thought it would be.

[RocketDawg]

OT for Kansas/Duke. I can't believe the Duke shot at the buzzer didn't go in. Looked like it was halfway down and then jumped out. He almost lost the ball right before the shot though.

Should’ve gotten the ball to Bagley

That roll player has all the OT points for Kansas. Wish we had a roll player like that!

Exactly!

It's probably about time that we admit that the roll [sic] player is pretty good, even though he left us.

[RocketDawg]

Why'd it take so long to decide? Looked to me like it was obvious the Duke guy was the last to touch the ball.

[Bulldog1]

Grayson Allen lost this game

[ShotgunDawg]

Malik at MSU was just poor timing. On a more competitive team at MSU, he probably accepts his role.

Just bad timing. Nothing more, nothing less

That's probably true. Too bad he couldn't have toughed it out.
