No disguising Avery Johnson’s voice calling the Purdue vs N Tx game.

Well at least they found a good spot for him. Won’t be watching any of that game and suspect not many others will either.

Just like my wife said the other night, “nobody cares if Kentucky isn’t in it.” Of course she was talking about us, but it really is hard to get into these games without UK being a part of it.

I didn’t even fill out a bracket this year for the first time in probably ten years. The bracket pool I entered at work in 2019 I won the pot. Hell, I haven’t even looked at a bracket.

FWIW, though, I probably will watch some of it and definitely will watch from EE onward. Hoping for a non blueblood nor Gonzaga to win it. Non blueblood for obvious reasons and Gonzaga because I don’t wanna see them go undefeated. I think Illinois has a great shot to win the whole damn thing.

I know man, I wanted to fill out a bracket and just couldn’t do it. I hope north Texas wins it all lol.

As overrated as I think the Big 10 is, I was giving UNCheat too much credit. Wisconsin is embarrassing them. I forgot this is the UNC team that got swamped by Marquette at home.

The only team we played that's about to be alive that wasn't in the SEC is Kansas. That's some strong strength of schedule right there. The 96 team played every team in the final four.
I absolutely suck at filling out brackets. But in 96 I picked all 4 final 4 teams and the final game.
Picked UMASS and State because I thought if they were good enough to beat the Cats then they must be good. Syracuse was just a lucky random pick.

Saw CBS I think only has 1 percent of its contestants still perfect, this early!

Is there any way both teams can lose? How in the world am I supposed to root for one of these teams?

At least Wisconsin wasn't taking part in arguably the biggest sham in college basketball history.
Yeah... 2015 still hurts, and obviously Wisconsin is why, but there's at least a certain level of respect for them that's hard to have for their opponent on this day.
