***Official NCAA Tournament Thread***

[KC_Connection]

Seeing as Bearcat banned me from the KU basketball thread for daring to use statistics to dispel the constant trashing of the team’s best player this year by far, I’ll need somewhere to put my thoughts for this year’s tournament.

In sum, the committee screwed KU again. Their resume (and wins) should have had them at at least a 6 seed and maybe even a 5. Arkansas is also the toughest matchup they could have had among possible opponents and KU matches up horribly against them (stay tuned as to why).

As far as the rest of the tournament goes, I’m picking Houston to win it all and Kentucky (fraud) to lose in the first or second round.

Nope. Its like the MLB without a salary cap.

For football yes.

Basketball no.

Houston and Duke—the two highest-rated teams in T-Rank history—will play each other in the Final Four

Hahaha, so I filled out 11 brackets for the ESPN challenge. And I’ll be damned if my 11th bracket isn’t killing it. I’m currently ranked 110th out of something like 25 million. Looking at the leaderboard, I can’t win, but I could finish top 10. I’m guessing that might get me a coffee mug or maybe a free month of ESPN/Disney+. Hahaha…

Cool Mich State. Let's just make sure both of these games aren't worth watching in the second half

Just when you think nobody could shoot worse than Tenn in the 1st half, here we are....

It’s fun to watch the Cinderella’s up to the Sweet 16. After that, I want to see the ‘real’ teams compete for the Title.

Glad to see we’ve got that this year.

Whoever wins the Title this year will have most definitely earned it!

Quite frankly the SEC being so good at basketball is bad for NCAA bball. They are already too good in football. NCAA Bball meeds the Big 12, ACC to be good.

I've always said the same... Cinderella is fun until they turn into a pumpkin and lose by 20 in the Elite Eight.

And then the chalky tourney...
Duke by 20
Houston by 20
Auburn could win this by 20
The close game was against Texas Tech, a team that beat like 1 ranked team all season and got double digit seeds all the way to Florida.

[Pepe Silvia]

Well Auburn will survive today but any chance they had to win the whole enchilada just went out the window.

All four one seeds advance. The greatest final four of all time awaits.

Remember, sport is dead because college players are getting paid now and can openly leave for new opportunities like their coaches.
