March Madness has begun…..

[gman2304]

Brackets for the 68 teams will be announced at 6:00 pm on CBS. Duke, ( my team since conception ) and currently the number one ranked team in the nation, is probably going to be the number one seed in the East and most likely the overall number one seed for this year’s tournament. Let the madness begin!

If the Tar Heels don't get a bid I may not watch.

The problem for your dukies is that they haven't played a tough schedule at all. The ACC has never been this week in my long life. They have a good team but I'm curious to see how they will do against a SEC team. They will have easy wins the first couple of games but then the test will come.

Heels are in, they play SanDiego State Tuesday in one of the early play in games. With 22 wins, they deserve to be in.

Agree, the ACC overall is awful this year, and the SEC is loaded. Duke lost to Kentucky early but beat Auburn, which is the over all #1 seed.

Wake me up after the first round, when the "we won some conference no one heard of" crowd gets sent home.

Headline on Fox says:

North Carolina's NCAA Tournament bid leads to social media backlash: 'How did this even happen?'​

UNC's AD, who serves as chair of the selection committee, says he was 'not in the room' for the Tar Heels' decision​

They said the UNC AD "stepped out" during the vote. LOL.
UNC is 1-12 vs Q1 opponents.

I've rooted for UK and U OF L being from Kentucky. My moms side of the family are definitely into college basketball.

Agreed, there’s something special there this season.

They are fun to watch. Relentless. The way BB should be played.

Lifelong Auburn fan here. I'm ready to be disappointed!!!

There’s a good chance that Pitino and Calipari could meet in the second game in their regionals. St Johns should easily beat Omaha and if Arkansas beats Kansas that will put them on a collision course to meet in their second regional game. That would be fun as they absolutely despise each other!

 

[gman2304]

Down to the final 4, two games tonight, all the number one seeds advancing which has happened only once before. Florida vs Auburn in the early game, Houston vs Duke in the late game both being played in SanAntonio with the championship game being played Monday night. Houston starts 2 grad students and a 4th year junior, while my Dookies start 3 freshman so it might very well be curtains for the Blue Devils tonight!

I suppose its always been "under the table". But now college sports are merely lower level pro sports.

College basketball is a 1,000 times better than the NBA

I'm bummed UK lost to Tennessee as UK has beat Tennessee this year and has a better track record.

Well being born and raised in Gainesville makes me a life long gator, even though I’m no longer there. We haven’t won a national title since 2007, I’m excited and happy for them regardless of the Title outcome. What a season!

Sad to see my Auburn Tigers lose to Florida. Also surprised to see Duke lose to Houston. I thought Duke would win it all.
