First ever tournament win for the Mean Green of North Texas

I don’t like Clemson but honestly how do you decide to play the last 30 seconds out instead of fouling?

First tournament win for New Jersey U. aka Rutgers since 1983.

Looking like a rough tournament for the local teams thus far, Villanova pulling away from Winthrop.

And, come on West Virginia I'm pretty sure I have you in the Final Four, do better.

The ACC off to a blazing 0-3 start to this tournament.

And only UNC IIRC was favored.. but Loyola was such an underseed. They are top 25 this year and a #$% #%$% 8th seed. Stupid Committee.

so Syracuse the only ACC winner?

Yep, was a pretty stressful game, surprised that Culver appeared to be that off yesterday. But probably not a bad sign if they can win by nearly 20 with Culver not having his A game.

I think whoever wins Houston-WVU when that happens makes the Final Four, since I get the feeling Illinois gets upset by the Fightin Sister Jeans

Hate Creighton..

VCU forfeited due to COVID, Oregon wins.

For however long I can remember, I've always made two brackets every year, one try hard and one bs. My BS bracket has been better 8 out 9 years... I think I need to rename my brackets.

I know the feeling.

Sucks for VCU they had to forfeit. Hopefully we don't get more of that deeper into the tournament.

Hoos in a dogfight with a team that looks like a middle school team.

THE Ohio University bumps off UVa

 

[HisIceness]

Would be hilarious if Abilene Christian (another that I had no clue was D-1, Grand Canyon was another) upset Texas, they trail at halftime by 5. That would probably be the biggest thing to ever happen to the city of Abilene.

No no, around here no thread is the wrong thread.

I don't have interest in Basketball, so I guess I must of put the basketball forum on ignore, and I can't figure out how to bring it back to react to this game. I thought the new post section would help but then it lead me to the Canes forum.

I was watching a little of the Canes today though. I miss John Forslund as announcer, and that's pretty much all I know of the team.

Doesn’t help Shaka stay off the hot seat

Doesn’t help Shaka stay off the hot seat

Getting rid of him would be a huge mistake, which is why that's exactly what I'm expecting Texas to do.

 

[hblueridgegal]

A different environment for Shaka might be just the thing though..what a toxic fanbase. He and his wife were very ill with Covid during the season and he said it has changed his perspective on things.

Illinois in trouble

Illinois in trouble

Who ever could have foreseen this

Refs seem determined to give Illinois a shot at winning

That was a f***ing clinic by Loyola.
