Official NCAA Basketball Tournament Thread

I'm still alive with Florida going all the way.  I've got Wisconsin in my final four and my two opponents have Arizona.  Lots of guys were good on Thursday and Friday but not so hot on the weekend.

I went from 6th to 31st in the last hour...whahappen?

Looks like the rapist protector can coach.  Great run by UCLA to finish the season.  Florida is UCLA's nemesis, I don't hold much hope.

 

3 PAC 12 teams left in the tournament.  Very nice showing by the PAC.

Anyone left who isn't hosed by all of these upsets?

I still have at least one team in every sweet 16 matchup (favorites)...7 of the elite 8, 3 of the final four, and both finals teams (Louisville and Mich St)

Even if most of them win, I doubt I could finish first.

Respectable maybe, which would be OK as I'm usually toast by this point.

[Homebrewer]

I'm having withdrawals.

My final 4 is still alive. I think.

Bracket, yes. All I care about at this point is that alma mater is still alive as the national #1 seed.

 

I just hope that the Gators don't get into a game that comes down to free throws, because they suck at it.

That's the problem once you get to the round of 16. Things really slow down after a fast and furious four days.

Florida by 15 tomorrow

Anyone going to the Madness at the Honda Center today?  LETS GO AZTECS!  Time to D up the Wildcats and send them back to Arizona for the weekend!  Hopefully I get a nice surprise tonight with UCLA upsetting Florida and SDSU upsetting Arizona.

Before reading that, I guessed 15 mins or more, if the game was close (under 10 points)

[Angel Oracle]

Creighton must have been pretty bad this past weekend.    Halftime score:  Wisconsin  29   Baylor  16

 

Dayton leads by 10 at halftime. 

[Homebrewer]

Dayton and Wisconsin moving on

I thought it was pertinent to post and not trolling, but this is why I don't like basketball anymore. The fouls changed and with college ball it's systematic and gets scores of 57-49.

It's almost midnight here in Greensboro. Too late for a game.

You left-coasters are screwing things up.

Florida is too athletic for UCLA.  They make too many mistakes on defense and the offense is out of control when Anderson doesn't have the ball in his hands.

 

Still a nice run for the Bruins.  They still have a shot at this game but I don't think they pull it out.  Will be interesting to see what they can do next season without KA.

[nate]

This is not a UCLA excuse cause it is bad on all sides... these refs are shockingly bad.  I haven't done the math but I think about 250,000 fouls have been called in this game.

[m0nkey]

Does lavine stay or go?

[nate]

I don't know.  I don't see him as being ready for the NBA but you never know what they want.

[Tank]

Field goal percentage killed UCLA last night. Florida wasn't as impressive as I thought they'd be.

Seemed like every bruin was at least 6'8". That's a tall group of kids.

[nando714]

There goes one of my final four teams. Baylor

My champion Florida is alive and well

Sounds like LaVine might be gone.  He was a zero impact recruit.  Another one of Howland's one and dones.
 

Also, lil Alford playing so many minutes was a joke.  I really hope UCLA finds some way to can Alford, good coach or not his past and his insistence to play his kid are enough for me to get rid of him.
