Just something to get you ready.
That was awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Utes made $22k per year ($265k/12) for the next 5 years with USC winning last night
Just another reason to live vicariously through the Ducks, Cats, Bruins and Trojans over the next few days (if you can stomach it).
I picked all 12's over 5's this year.
Because...well, why not.
The perfect anti-bracket.
Bracket McBrackettface
Thousands of perfect entries still remain in the Yahoo Sports Tourney Pick’Em contest after a first day that saw 14 of the 16 games won by the lower seed.
But only one entry stands alone as being uniquely terrible.
Of all the entries that picked results for all 63 games, only one bracket went 0-for-16 on Thursday. That would be “Bracket McBracketface,” a user who adopted a bold and chaotic strategy that included picking all four No. 16 seeds to win their first-round games.
Just watched the Wisconsin/Nova and Gonzaga/NW games today. I am envious of those programs -- even of North Dakota. Athleticism. BB IQ. Terrifically played games. Will be really interesting to see what Collins does with Northwestern going forward.

oh man, the officiating in this tournament has been soooo bad
So, Arizona vs Gonzaga. One coach gets to shed his "can't get to the final four" image.
Does Gonzaga look like a ff team? If WVU could have shot even 30% it would have won.Originally Posted by sancho
What matters is that they are still alive, but they have not looked good yet in this tournament. Loved that FT airball.
If there are going to be 60 fouls called in a game, WVU is not going to win. Pressing teams need a bit of leeway.
Meanwhile, Oregon once again lets a lesser team hang but still pulls it out.
Check that. Oops
Pretty sweet for Xavier. And gonzaga.

Miller getting brutalized on twitter for misusing Markenen all game and esp. Down the stretch. All least he got to go against better players in practice than if he had come here. So there is that.
Hee hee. The first good result of this dang tournament.
I'm sure those workouts against Ristic and Commanche will have him ready to guard Anthony Davis next year.
no doubt Miller collapses in big games. Considering they are getting a top 5 recruiting class every year you would think at least a couple of those would result in a final four. I predict if UA doesn't get it done next year Miller is gone. He might have been let go this year, but they just hired a new AD a month ago.
Did Miller misuse Markkanen or did Markkanen just disappear?
Had he come to Utah, I'm not sure our guards/wings can get him the ball.

You are more in tune with that can base than I am, but that sounds crazy.
Pure insanity. He's been a solid coach for that program. If it was easy, then everyone would make the FF early in their career. Calhoun, Wooden, Boeheim and Few are just a couple of coaches off the top of my head that took a dozen years or more to reach that level. True they started from scratch, but, I'm not altogether certain its not just as difficult to replicate the success of a legend as it is to begin at ground zero. Exercise some patience Wildcats....he'll get there.

Officiating at every level has made basketball nearly unwatchable. The style of play plus the officiating in the pros doesn't even resemble basketball anymore. The college game will be the next one to go for me.
It's a tragic, serious flaw with the sport. No sport is perfect, though. I'll take the bad with the good. I wish this tournament would give us some of the good.

I enjoyed watching Kentucky lose.

especially on a last minute basket.
That's two game winning buzzer beaters in two days. It's almost like a real March madness.
Oregon and gonzaga. Proving that it's not about 1 and dones. It's about transfers.
But williams-goss missed a golden opportunity to be an NBA second round pick.

So Kuzma should transfer somewhere where he can get to the final four, like Gonzaga, I guess.
South Carolina vs North Carolina would be a great national title game...if the gamecocks win.
Utah went through two 1 seeds to reach the title game in 1998. Gonzaga would go through a whole bunch of nothing. Is it too much to ask that they play at least one great team on their way to a championship?
The zags are so deep, and there's no weak link. South Carolina will have the best player on the floor, but Gonzaga will have the next 5-6 best.
Uh, if you're a number 1 seed it's impossible you'll have to beat two number 1 seeds to get to the national title game.

Sure is, but it's definitely possible to have a tougher road than west virginia, xavier.
