I have Alabama winning it all. I am hoping like hell that none of the Texas teams make it to the Final Four. They threw the top 3 in one region though, Texas, aTm and Houston. So I am a Xavier, Iowa, Penn St, Indiana or whoever fan in that regional. Tickets for the final 4 will be out of my price range if one of those teams makes it in.
I am with you on Alabama. I like the fact that they don't piss away the first 2/3 of the shot clock doing nothing - which is still a widespread plague in college basketball.

Officials in the MD-WVU miss an obviously illegal screen on the Terps, so now they hold the game up for 10 minutes in search of a makeup call.

For betting purposes, the under in the Iowa game is very tempting. Iowa players mentioned yesterday they can’t get used to the Wilson balls and the rims are extremely tight. Mix that with Auburn being 5th in 3-Pt defense, under 151.5 looks solid. Same rims as the Maryland game. Nantz just commented about it.

West Virginia was playing great with this Stevenson dork on the bench and Johnson scoring at will. So naturally Huggy Bear puts Stevenson back in and lets him chuck a bunch of terrible shots.

Huggins must have wanted to go on vacation. He did absolutely everything possible to piss away that game.

I’ve made money on Furman since January. That’s a good team. I think they advance one more time. I felt they’d beat Virginia.

Still up 2 with 9 seconds left, when the Cavs' point guard decided it would be a great idea to heave the ball downcourt and hope the clock would run out. Furman intercepts, finds a guy open, and he hits a three.

Smart play with 1 or 2 seconds left, but incredibly stupid in that situation.

2025 (post dead fish Fred's firing) is our earliest chance to participate in this great American pastime, sadly

our AD believes saving a few shekels is more important than on-court performance

I hope there isn't a single seat filled in PBA next year. it's what coach and AD deserve considering their treatment of their most precious resource - us fans

especially when the arena is packed.

Took a flyer on Furman after the youngest had their conference title game on last week. Haven’t missed a game yet

Someone should add these to the official "Why the B1G can't win in the tournament" talking points.
In their defense, Wilson basketballs do suck. I still hope they lose by 50

I think Illinois still has a chance, if Underwood would just tell Billy Ray Cyrus Meyer to stop shooting. They said he's 1 for his last 20 from the arc.

Pac 12 champs go down

that's going to bust a lot of brackets
Yeah, just have to hope you had them not advancing too far. Hardly anybody will have this, so it matters how far you picked them.

Love seeing Arizona lose. Don’t mind their team, but their fans are awful. No more “Universe of ********” chant for the rest of the tournament!

Princeton still dancing one more day

Simply amazing! I can’t imagine an athletic department making a conscious decision that they aren’t interested in their student athletes having an opportunity to play in the ncaa tournament next year

It’s criminal

I want to punch Arizona in the nose. A high seed, historically good program not even able to get shots off. I don't know who the overall worst team in the tourney is but Arizona took the cake in the last five minutes.
