    March Madness coming up tommorow!

    Printable brackets here or ESPN bracket here if anyone is interested at taking a shot at that 1 billion $ prize.

    Who are your favourites?

    Entertaining video coming at the amateur part of the NCAA that got me laughed, eventhough there are some good points about the NCAA absurdity there

    I don't remember myself watching NCAA without having some bets on it, but this year it'll be different Obviously cause of Domantas Sabonis. Goin' to cheer for him and Gonzaga. Not sure how good their chances are, not following NCAA too closely to know all the contender teams good enough, but as I see bookies rates them mostly as Elite 8 team, some experts even sees them in final, so I hope Domantas and Gonzaga will do good

      (quietly checking my bracket hoping I haven't screwed up now that I know Domantas is there )

      Gonzaga is ranked 2nd in the south, right after Duke. Should be interesting to see Sabonis there after watching him in euroleague last year.

      Kentucky seems as a big favorite to win it all, It'll be interesting if they'll actually manage to do that considering the unpredictability of the tournament.

        I feel for Murray State, they had an impressive season but just fell short of the OVC championship. They should have been selected. Same goes for Iona State and Temple U. UCLA hasn't done well but got selected. Even with the 64 team bracket big dance, there will be controversies down the line.

          For the big dance first win, Hampton University nailed it. Now they will hope to keep the run alive against SEC champs Kentucky.

            2 major upsets already and only 1% of the filled brackets still in game

            Coach fall of the chair after his son decided the game with a 3pointer Georgia tech (14) upseted Baylor (3) and UAB (14) over Iowa state. My bracket wasn't even half serious, so I haven't bothered to check it, pretty sure I failed big already.

              Good that we've got a March Madness thread. I was wondering if there would be one.

              I wasn't sold on either Iowa State or Baylor, so I'm not surprised they lost. I'm surprised Notre Dame won, because I wasn't sold on them either.

              And yeah, Temple got SCREWED.

                That would be Georgia State. Georgia Tech didn't even make it to the NIT.

                In other news, it sucks to be a West Virginia fan right now. I can't recall WVU being relevant in the tournament after Joe Alexander and that Pittsnoggle dude graduated.
                Keep running, big boy.

                  Winsconsin Badgers are headed to the F4! Sam Dekker was clutch when they needed it.

                    Gonzaga with Sabonis are out Watched the game at night, it was a tough one for Gonzaga, Karnowski made 2 early fouls, then Sabas received 3rd foul at the end of 1st half, 2 of these were really unnecessary ones, received at offensive end. Overall Gonzaga were chasing Duke almost all game long, had 4pts lead once, but then Duke made a big run. Gonzaga managed to bounce back, but with couple of minutes left and bein 51-53 behind, their key player Wiltjer missed free throw and in next possesion in some way managed to miss easiest lay-up... That was breaking point, Duke made another run and never looked back... Btw, that Okafor from Duke, who is supposed to be 1st draft pick, looked really poor, even managed to throw an airball from free throw line Of course it's not fair to make any conclusion from 1 game, I didn't see him before, but I was not impressed at all

                      hehe, that was one of the rare instances where I got it right in the bracket, Duke beating Gonzaga. If Karnowski stays for one more year, Gonzaga will be the team to watch the next season. Other than that i'm just proud of guessing about Michigan State going as far as the did

                        I definitely did not predict the majority of surprising games like Nova losing to NC State and Wisconsin beating Arizona. Stanley Johnson has really been a disappointment in the tournament in my opinion. He's supposed to be a franchise changer and he really didn't play like it when Zona needed him most.

                        I'm not surprised MSU beat Virginia or Louisville. They flat out know how to win and they have some pretty solid players. Trice and Valentine almost cost them the game against Louisville though. I was very impressed with Blackshear. He plays so much bigger than 6'5. Hard to see him being either a true guard or forward though. Still, I hope he catches on somewhere at the next level, even in the D-League.

                          Wisconsin ended Kentucky's unbeaten streak. I'm Impressed by Kaminsky and Dekker, great game.

                            My money is on the team with the seven-foot James Deen.

                              I have to say I'm really impressed that Winslow played the four for Duke. I saw him as more of a guard/forward before but playing the four despite being 6'6" and a freshmen is impressive. I'm not sure I'd want him on the Sixers but I think he'll be a very good NBA player someday if he gets into the right situation.
