    Washington, the Pac12 regular season champs lost at winless-in-conference Cal last night

    The Pac12 is just awful. I'd rather see the SoCon get multiple bids this year

    The Pac-12 is real bad, but I think it’s only going to be a one-bid league.

    *looks at how UCLA and Stanford are playing down the stretch*

    Oh god they’re going to steal a second bid.

    How far am I going to have Kentucky going?

    This is going to be tough.

    Assuming Kentucky sweeps Tennessee and does well in the SEC tournament, they'll have a 1 seed with either Duke or UNC as their 2 seed (I could also see an unlikely scenario where UVA is the ACC's 2 seed in that bracket)

    Basically, if the ACC keeps its two projected 1 seed bids, then Kentucky will have the third best ACC team potentially waiting for them in the Elite Eight - a game I wouldn't be confident about on either side unless it was Zion-less Duke (but that doesn't seem like a Sweet Sixteen team anyway so...)

    Clemson blows a 16 point lead and most likely their tournament chances to lose to NC State on a phantom foul call

    That's been Clemson's MO this year, but man that has to sting

    *wait which thread is the active one?*
    I did not get to watch the clemson/nc state game, but Jesus I am in physical pain for the clemson fans. Up 42 to 26 at the half, then lose at the end 58 to 59. You score FORTY TWO in the first half and 16 in the other. Just wow. Good on state though! Either clemson started to play like they were drugged or state figured out a basketball game was happening.

    Looking back at last year - did you guys know I picked Loyola-Chicago to get to the Final Four in the PA Bracket? And missed on every other F4 team? That's crazy

    On the one hand, I'm sad my Wolverines got swept by the Fightin Izzos

    On the other hand, the committee gave MSU a nice mouthful of spit straight to the eye, so I can take pleasure in that

    Tech has 2 weeks and 2 games to reintegrate Justin Robinson, but I look at how Duke played without Zion, and how Tech played without Robinson, and I think Tech is a team that got much stronger without their star.

    The whiplash of watching Sparty go 3-3, and finish off the Big-Ten regular season+conference tourney titles to the "Aw fuck we caught the Duke" was incredibly fast.

    Time to maybe squeak into the elite 8 running on fumes and pray that Tech goes 15-20 from 3 or some shit. Better luck next year boys!

    Predictions include wofford making a run so UNC can beat them for revenge. Also we beat villanova again. Georgia state is gonna do well because hell yeah atlanta. THE ohio state university does ok because I want their tuba player to be happy.

    Confidence is approximately zero.

    Also I have Wofford losing to Seton Hall right away so suck it everyone!

    Since undergrad all brackets end at UNC v Duke if possible. No matter how unreasonable. Luckily it's generally pretty reasonable!

    I generally root for Duke to get humiliated early (and it happens sometimes!), but this year with the Zion show, it would be an epic confrontation that I would generally really like to see happen

    Sorry bud, but UCI is bearing Kansas State in the first round.

    But then again they’re making the Elite 8 easy so it’s not your fault.
