Board 8 > March Madness topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

I took alabama even though it sucks picking the popular team

Didn't do a bracket but I am heading to the Amway right now for the games there today

Go Boilers

ya go my Vols

Couldn't pick Alabama to win it all for multiple reasons so I somehow ended up with Gonzaga

well looks like my bracket is gonna be starting off 0-1

Maryland can't buy anything rn lol

A tradition unlike any other: Losing my perfect bracket on the first game

Or maybe not! Maryland closes the first half strong.

I always believed in you Terps

Furboy? No, that's a Furman!

First 2-0 start for me since...I have no idea last time I did that.

Aw yeah Furman

Now I need Charleston to win to create the 12 vs. 13 second round matchup

Watched that Furman finish....holy cow.

perfect bracket so far! Probably won't last the day schedule but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Maryland bought the refs at the end of the game. Should have been WVU ball. Every angle showed it was WVU Ball

R.I.P. perfect bracket

Lol Virginia again

LOL Arizona

Well, a billion brackets just died.

0 points in the last 4 1/2 minutes huh

Never trust Arizona.

I tell my self that every year but every time I have them going a lot further than they should.

Play by play shows Arizona went 0/6 on their last 6 shots of the game with two turnovers. Impressive.

Just got back to check the early results. lmao Arizona. Had them in the Elite 8 rip. Thought about having them upset in the Sweet 16 whoops .4-3 with Arkansas too so unless a miracle happens 5-3.

Ivy league is always capable of putting up a fight too it seems. Surprised to see them a 15 seed this time around.

My wife (who didn't even realize Kansas was a good basketball program before filling out a bracket last year) has Mizzou beating Arizona next round

Guess I'll be losing to her again this year

only 10 minutes but not looking great for my tournament winner houston lol

I know they have an injury but I was - without looking at any injury reports - hoping they could escape the first weekend and hopefully be at full strength after? Which is an immensely dumb thing to do with no research but I also don't take brackets super seriously.

*turns on Tennessee game with the Vols up 18*

*Louisiana promptly goes on a 13-0 run*

welp

Yeah, I just noticed that (I have Houston's game on even as they've gotten some breathing room) and noticed the score closed real quick.

also dang i originally had PSU but switched to A&M late

edit: and now north kentucky on a 5-0 run to cut it back to 5 lol

survive and advance

that was more stressful than it needed to be

not feeling good about our chances against Duke

aww yeah Penn State looked dominate tonight.
pretty cool.

Feel free to join the game, Iowa State

Isn't this kinda just what Iowa State does in the tournament?

My bracket is currently in the 99th percentile on ESPN

Better enjoy it while it lasts

Perdue's center is like the living embodiment of the Futurama why doesn't Joey just eat the friends meme

He is like 1.5X the size of everyone on FDU

Oh nice YouTube TV is allowing multiview for March Madness games so I can see all four on the same screen without having to flip back and forth

I've got Purdue going out next round so I can root for the 16 > 1 without worry

Two of my friends are Purdue alumni and they're very depressed rn

Like, FDU isn't even playing good basketball

Yeah, this isn't like UMBC, who just caught fire and blew UVA out of the water. This is Purdue just being sloppy with the ball.

UMBC was magical. Their... point guard, I think it was, went into god mode.

LOL of the tournament incoming though.

Imagine having a player a foot taller than anyone else and not being able to score at will in the paint.

Edey setting a screen at the top of the key down 5 with 1 minute left is all that you need to know about coaching this game

LOL Purdue

oof

Absolutely disastrous play by Purdue.

Had Purdue losing to Duke in the Sweet 16 because I didn't have the guts to take Memphis but I had zero faith in Purdue doing anything significant. Still just my second Sweet 16 loss along with Arizona.

man Duke just got a clear path to the Elite Eight now

Obviously hindsight, but I don't think this is too surprising?

I don't think any Big ten team looked especially impressive this year.

Come home from Synagogue

A 1 is dead

..Huh

coach did say he thought they could beat purdue

FDU's conference had literally never had a team advance past the round of 64. There's no way to spin this as not shocking.
