Used to be like a kid on Christmas morning about now. Now I watch with my eyes diverted.
NCAA Bracket Thread
- Thread starter TortElvisII
- Start date
I'll look it up later. Don't really care anymore and I don't have the patience for how long they drag it out.
Now I just watch to see which night Im having pizza for dinner.
Feel like we are always in last bracket announced as well.
I'm on a cruise so idk if the warden will still allow me internet access by then anyways.
I think they stopped doing that absurd drag out a while ago and just get right to it, unless they're back at it again.
And I'm pretty excited about this one, finally. I know we've had a rough up and down this year, but thanks to everyone else having similar ups and downs, that we have 9 losses and are likely a mid-to-high 4 seed makes it bearable.
In years past (pre-NIL and trade portal), a 9-loss team would be lucky to get an 8 or 9 seed.
Maybe we wait until after the announcements to start bitching and moaning? Amazing fans are complaining about what-ifs before any what-ifs have even happened!
Complain when/if it happens, not speculatively. How miserable.
Just watch. Our 13 seed will have seven physical 5th year players with lightning quick guards.
Looking forward to the Vegas spreads ... that usually tells you where the Committee screwed up. For example, we will typically see at least one 10 seed favored over their 7-seed opponent.
Plus, we'll probably see a very unbalanced crop of teams in one region, in terms of NET rankings or title odds.

I think every 15 minutes is devoted to a region. That's the drag out he's talking about.
No doubt! Fully expect some little guard that was a 2-star or 0-star out of HS ready to light UK's NBA prospects up, paired with some muscular 22-23 yr old frontcourt players who would never get scholarship offers from UK.
Illinois with a Big 10 tournament championship. Must be nice to even get a tournament victory and build momentum but I've seen a many conference tournament champions fissle out.
How accurate has Palm been with seed predictions in years past? I ask because that goon has us as the top 3 seed, still.
I don't expect this at all as I'm of the belief we end up the 2nd or 3rd four seed. Just curious and wilder things have happened (just never to us - usually we get mis-seeded in the wrong direction!).

I hate when. Chuck comes on and it's obvious that he knows less about college basketball than everyone in this thread.
I don't really even care about the announcement of the bracket anymore. I just like watching the "Bracketology" shows after the selection show(s). I like the in-depth analysis stuff.
I'm as cool as can be. Seems maybe you aren't. Sadly, I've accepted our fate for a long time now. I have no emotions about it whatsoever. Which is sad.
Ahh got it.
Remember a few years ago when they tired that huge show and announced just a few seeds and then rambled on or ran commercials for what seemed like 30 minutes before going to the next one? Man that was painful.
Three Titleist since 2012 have won both conference and the NCAA. Vacated, Villanova 18, and KU.
This group of kids cares, they want to win. Of course they will watch with excitement and anticipation. No reason to **** on the team because you are unhappy with life.
And Kenny smiths dumbass who just sucks off unc the whole time
It won't let me load the link. Then it will just a 14 seed with 8 physical 5th year players with lightning quick guards
Not thin skin. There is so much negativity on this board lately that I just assume everyone that makes a statement like yours is simply wanting to find anything to complain about before it even happens. As in: "of course Cal doesn't even have the players over to watch...more signs he doesn't care..." and blah blah blah.
I wonder if cal and Ellen are having the players over for cookies and milk hey CAL "can the beaver come out and play "
I love the players on the team. I guess what I meant was would Cal get them together.
Pre-show entertainment has been watching episodes of LHOTHP and politely playing with Cal's dogs.
Don't be asking what time we play 5 minutes after the bracket comes out? Nobody that posted in this thread would do that but there will be lurkers at 7:05, wondering what time Kentucky plays.
One thread? We know there will soon be 10 threads saying UK got a easy draw and 10 threads saying they got the toughest draw ever.
He knows less about college ball than the nun from Loyola Chicago.
They usually do at his house every year. Most likely no different this year.
NC state will likely be the first to fizzle. Can't imagine even being 18-23 their legs will recover. Especially if they send them to dayton. Shorter rest
