Had oral roberts upsetting in every bracket except our HOL one. I have Creighton getting upset today along with Bama. Pitino bringing the top sex workers today!

How in the hell does GT beat Creighton by 25 and look like hot dog **** today against Colorado?

Georgetown is a Jekyll and Hyde team that can be pretty good or absolutely horrible. Still think the Hoyas were handed a giant gift in the Big East title game when McDermott brought in the Best Buy Geek Squad just as his team was opening up a nice lead. But hey, if college BB coaches aren't wildly over-managing their teams, they can't live with themselves.

One thing that really helped Colorado today is that Jabari Walker poured in so many points that even Tad Boyle couldn't yank him out of the game after 3 minutes - which is the usual pattern. Walker would get 25 minutes a game for any other team in the conference, but averages about 13 for the Buffs.

Or he could have sent a message to his starting unit about getting ready for the NCAA...

I just enjoy watching every single head coach f*** with their mask every 3 seconds and constantly touch their face and mouth. The NCAA requiring masks just makes...too much sense. Are we really concerned with stopping the virus or just optics?

CU is good and the Pac12 is as underrated as the B1G is overrated

Big East stunk this year top to bottom

Big East is bad this year. Old saying- you’re never as good as your best victory or as bad as your worst defeat. Truth lies in the middle. Creighton laid an egg & Gtown played their best. You saw the real GTown today.

Lotta game left, but UCSB looking too big and too athletic for Creighton. Won’t surprise me if they beat the Jays and take out Virginia.

Pleasantly surprised by the Jays’ comeback. Definitely turned up the defensive effort in the second 10 minutes of the half. Still struggling to hit any perimeter shots, though.

Creighton will lose if they keep letting Mahoney shoot. Dude has been in a massive slump. They’re trying to get me that W in this bracket 💪🏻

Wisely took him out but now getting killed on the boards.

Mahoney had some nice inside buckets early but then decided he was Steph Curry - again.

Lol I can think of about 1000 examples just in Nebraska opponents where that last UCSB shot was a foul. Interesting. Jays get it done none the less

Glad the Jays won, but no idea how the Gauchos’ big man missed that bunny at the end.

Well I was wrong about the Creighton-UCSB winner taking out Virginia. Cavs already ousted by Ohio.

Wisconsin >>>> Purdue
Ohio State >>> Maryland

It’s a fair exchange

Shaka Smart has lost in the first round 5 straight times..

Thought the whorns would win easily in the 2nd half so I went to bed after the UCLA game. Boy was that a mistake all most nothing better than watching texass go down..

I still dont think the big is overrated... 6/9 teams won their 1st round games.. ill iowa and mich have a good chance to go deep.. all 3 losses came in OT...should the 2 seed and 4 seed have won sure but its a tourny where teams that played 15 games are playing teams who have played 30 and exausted themselves in their conf tourny(in osu's case) its the tourny.. upsets happen

Right about now there are about a half dozen guys (or 9) in our bracket wondering about their Illini pick :)

Go Sister Jean!!!!!
