Maybe Houston can break the streak of losing in the Sweet 16 as a #1 this year.

I like Houston's chances to reach the Final Four. History is just that - heck UVA won the whole thing the year after losing to a 16. Basketball, especially in today's landscape, is vastly different year to year.

I really like the draw that Houston got. We'll see what happens. There isn't 1 team that is immune from an upset this year.

Florida looks like an unstoppable force right now. If my Huskies can get past OU, might get real ugly playing Florida in the 2nd round.

Karaban sure has been disappointing this year , thought for sure him and Mcneely (even tho injured mostly) was going to be a nice one 2 punch ..even with the injuries mcneely still had a higher scoring avg than karaban

Karaban's looked a lot better lately (let's ignore his last game against Creighton). McNeely's shooting numbers have been looking more like Bronny's than a potential lottery pick the last few games....he needs to pick it up for UConn to have any chance to play past this weekend!

I’m a huge UNC guy but I’ve always liked UConn as my #2 fave ..
I always followed UNC since late 80’s and I been liking UCONN since Shuttlesworth’s college days (except when they played Iverson)

Yea thanks ..man..it was sad to see them cheer like crazy that they got in the “first four” game

escapegoat · 03-18-2025, 07:39 PM

the “First Four” is dumb and just a money grab. but at least its a good first game.

Fenway55 · 03-18-2025, 10:42 PM

At least we had one good game tonight, even though the winner is going to get debacled by Auburn.

Maybe the ACC is stronger than everyone thought?

Dutcher needs to spend some NIL on scorers for once in his life...

The offense is so embarassing. Last year they lucked out with LeDee carrying the load but most of the time it's ugly.

I see what Harden just did for ASU and I want Kawhi to do that for SDSU.

That's the problem....I doubt SDSU has a huge NIL wallet. He gets guys he can afford to get (i.e. forget Burger boys or top portal transfers).

Anyone doing a Blowout March Madness bracket?

You like playing top 10 KenPom Gonzaga potentially in the 2nd round? Ok.

It has been the last 3 years in the tourney, so....yes?

Let’s give them 2 games in KY.

Just gets better.
#18 Wisconsin is a 3-seed.

Make it make sense, please.

As a huge Louisville fan, it’s rather infuriating. I hope the team plays with an even bigger chip on their shoulder and wins a couple of games. I don’t expect it, but I want it!

Man ..then they are playing against a very very tough under seeded creighton team right off the bat ,

Yeah, they got doubly screwed. Severely underseeded IMO, then having to play another probably underseeded team (Creighton), then having the overall #1 seed waiting if they beat Creighton. But at least you'll have home court advantage? Lol
