NCAA March Madness

none really. knowing nebraska with almost 100% certainty won't make it next year either. i'd venture to guess near 100% chance we aren't in the tourney in the next three seasons.
Of the Big10 teams, Iowa is probably sitting in the best place for success. Both bracket and personnel wise. Then Wisconsin(???).
Trying to wrap my head around Purdue. They don’t give me warm fuzzies about their team in the tournament.
I use the word synergy to describe Big10 basketball. Lot of good individual players and teams. Not great teams. I feel like the whole (conference) is greater than the sum of the parts (players and individual teams). Works great for conference image, just doesn’t result in National titles.

I’d like to win my Buffett $1mil per year bracket .. any upsets you love? Wisky go down first round?
I despise Wisconsin and would love to pick against them, but they can fall out of bed and land in the Sweet 16. Ridiculously easy draw.
That's my pick. I'm hoping they play zaga in the final. Zaga will be the favorite and I'm going to pile a whole lot of $ on Zona.
I'm going with the NCAA, the referees, the media, etc etc doing everything they can to have Krzyxxvzvghvsdnmbchvdkjbjhvadbvjhkvjdb go out with another championship.
Hope WY beats Ind. Big had no business getting 9 teams in.
Creighton got jobbed both in seed and in placement.

I'm rooting for Wyoming too, but at least Indiana played its way in this time. In the Archie Miller era they cried their way in - or tried to.
Michigan, on the other hand, should have either been left at home or put in the Dayton round.
4 figures at least. Will somewhat depend on how big of a position I take on Zona to win right now.
March Sadness 2.0 - Markowski ending seasons and plows thru to the title.
Watch out Gonzaga for the Big10 Freshman of the Year!!!
Love ya, Lady Huskers!!!

I can never fully accept these play-I’m games. The real tip-off starts soon just in time for some corn beef and cabbage.
I generally agree, but this was a good game. The coaches (especially Mike Bray) sort of sucked the life out of it near the end by calling endless timeouts, but it was still an exciting finish.
It is the postseason, so the coaches are mandated to call at least one timeout per possession in the final minutes so they can set up the perfect offense or defense.
One thing it does helps with teams on the bubble..
My corn beef cabbage won’t be done till 5:30..
How did Coach Miles not recruit Baylor Scheierman? I remember watching him at the State Tournament in 2019 and thinking this might be the best college prospect from Nebraska since Strickland.
I think it has more to do with the fact that CSU can’t throw it in the ocean in the second half. And Michigan is really shooting well.
Some CSU guys couldn't miss early in the game, and they got away from getting the ball to Roddy. They cooled off and just kept shooting, and Roddy hasn't been much of a factor. Need to get your best player the ball and find shots for him, and the Rams didn't.
Yeah I was surprised Wyoming even got in, actually. San Diego State is pretty solid, though. I think they might oust Creighton tonight.
Baylor Scheierman would have be a great fit for Creighton given his range. Big miss by McDermott. Rumors have him entering the portal to Nebraska.
