NCAA BB Tourney, 3/16 Games Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
(9) Maryland-(8) West Virginia is first up, on CBS. I think this will be a good gauge of how well the B1G will do.
I purchased two grids. I have Gonzaga going all the way in one and Baylor in the other. Good luck everyone!!
Watching college basketball, you can count on getting the runs.
Should have hung in for 15 more seconds. VA had the game won and pretty much blew it with a terrible inbounds pass.
I saw it… who taught the UVA inbounder to dribble to the trap! Rule 1… if you get the return pass against the press, dribble AWAY from the teammate who threw you the ball! That was an eighth grade mistake!

Yeah, thrilling. Two reasons I don’t fill out brackets: One, I really suck at it. I’m the Hugh Mulcahy of NCAA tournament pools. Two: it takes away from my enjoyment of the tournament, such as this game.
I fill one out every year, and every year by the end of Sunday I say….”I’m out! Yeah I am out of the contest!”
I filled 2 out this year. I know I'll bomb out, but its still fun. And I actually picked Princeton. Why? I just remember them beating UCLA many years ago ... so figured the NERDs could do it again.
Princeton wins! They are papering the trees at Palmer Square! Which they will clean up later of course.
Probably will finish dead last in one poll. Have a final match up between Purdue and Northwestern.
