I’m a huge fan of the tournament. I haven’t spent a ton of time watching college basketball this year but I’ll catch as much of the tournament as I can.
Seems like the #1 seeds are heavily favored to make it to the final four but Tom Izzo can never be ruled out in the tournament. St John’s is also a 2 seed with some steam.
Who you got making it the final 4 and winning it? Any big upsets? I’m rooting for Creighton to make a bit of a run and I always root for the B10 squads.
Who ya got!?
Like you, I don’t get a chance to watch as much basketball as I wish I could. In college we’d host 4 straight days of “March Madness” parties at our place with Multiple TVs, kegs, and shenanigans to celebrate. Those were the good ole’ days…from what I remember.
I obviously root for the Badgers. Beyond them, I like to root for underdogs and busted brackets for the most part. Drake is a cool story with x4 of their starters being D2 transfers from last season who moved with their coach en route to a 30-3 record. If nothing else, that story shows how small the talent differences are between some of the D1 mid majors and successful D2 programs.
After all the talk of UNC being undeserving of getting any sort of bid, they dominated in that play-in game earlier this week. It’d be fun to see them go on a nice run now proving all the talking heads on ESPN “wrong”
1. Auburn /2. St.John’s // 1.Duke /2.Tennessee with Auburn beating Duke in the final.
I do have North Carolina making a run to the Sweet 16 where they get beat by Izzo.

Seems like a solid group. Florida has a lot of steam, too.
I’m not a big basketball guy by any means but the tournament games are great entertainment. I was fortunate enough to tune in to the end of the Alabama State game. What a way to kick things off. I’m a sucker for a Cinderella team every year. Hopefully they can give Auburn all that they can handle.
Thursday/Friday are two of the best days of the year! I have Auburn, Florida, Houston, and Bama in the final four. Some upsets are UNC in the elite 8 and Marquette over Michigan State. Bama needs Grant Nelson to be healthy starting next weekend. I wish Memphis was fully healthy as they would’ve been a team I had making a run. I think Florida is the best team in the country. Really curious to see Tennessee play Houston if they both get there. Also have Zona beating Duke in Sweet 16. Probably a bad move but makes it fun.
Badgers Win + Cover = $$$

Hope your right. I’m far from a basketball guy either but my boss talked me into joining a group and filling out a bracket and I picked them to go all the way.
Duke beating Maryland in an old ACC matchup in the final. Duke vs Houston and Michigan St. vs Maryland on the other side of the Final 4.
I watched like 3 Gophers games this year, so I’m very well prepared for the tourney. Figured the SEC was setup for disappointment with a ridiculous amount of teams making it. And the Big 10 powers slipped up in the Big 10 tourney, and will have their vengeance now while continuing the Big 10 run started with back to back football Natty’s.

Yes they were! Nothing better than a warm spring day and a beer pong table near a TV.
McNeese State with the first big upset!!

Wild game. Cannot believe they only won by 2. Clemson looked awful in the first half.
Houston and Florida get a tough second round with Zags and UConn. Assuming both of the latter win.
It’s so sad the Gophers never even make the tournament. And every year Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, heck even Montana does. Just blows me away, not even sure how that is possible. Year after year.
