I watched some ESPN bracketology special...Rece Davis, Jay Bilas, Greenberg, Jay Will, DICKIE V, etc...nearly all of them had only 1&2 seeds in the Elite 8...I think Rece had Buffalo in his Elite 8, but he was the only one to break chalk. Glad I tuned in.

They do that every year.

I like it when the majority of the people pick 12/5 upsets, so that you can get value by picking a team like Wisconsin or Auburn getting to the Sweet 16. People have Maryland losing to Belmont, and Belmont hasn't even won their play-in game yet.

I'm likely to pick Oregon and if Belmont wins the play in game, them too.

If Belmont loses, I'm picking Maryland.

 

[SilenceS]

My bracket is wild! Im either winning it all or coming in last.

 

[Rory Sparrow]

If Belmont loses, I'm picking Maryland.

Whenever I watched Maryland play, it looked like they had three guys who were superior to anyone on the other team...then Maryland would proceed to lose the game by 10. It made no sense.

This year might be the one to actually go chalk to the Elite 8. I think 6 or 7 of the 1/2 seeds will be in Elite 8.

One 1 seed won their conference tournament.

One 2 seed won their conference tournament.

Belmot looks good. But now Temple on a 8-0 run.

 

[zack54attack]

Belmont wins!

 

[zack54attack]

Well, the NC Central coach got his wish! He wont be facing Zion!

One 1 seed won their conference tournament.

One 2 seed won their conference tournament.

That never matters a bit.

Minnesota, while up big, adopted the "shoot threes early in the shot clock, and don't defend Louisville's threes" strategy, but they failed to grab the loss they were after.

With under a minute to go, up 11, Minnesota was fouling. Intentionally. And taking the ball into the corner, and getting trapped. And fouling on made layups!

Nice work, Pitino Jr. Your # 10 seeded team upset a #7, and you looked like to be over your head while doing so.

 

[zack54attack]

Liberty!

Iowa State coach is trash. One guy has killed you the whole game and you keep running the same defense at him.

 

[zack54attack]

Good game here between LSU-Maryland.

Awful Saturday. Average margin of victory was 15+pts. Only 2 single digit games. LSU game winner was a 4 step travel that wasn't called. 3 final four teams are eliminated from 2018

Wow. Iowa came back.. and then lost.

Glad I wasn't the only one that saw that travel.

Hard for a ref to call that. He toe touched.
