Saint Mary’s is the whitest team ever.

How about Pitt taking it to ISU

That was wild scoring only 2 points for the first 8 minutes. 59-41 is a low ass final though.

Holy shit. Shoutout FDU

WTF Purdue! That’s my 2nd Final Four team to go out.

If I wasn't a homer, Purdue would be in my finals.

I got fooled by the 12 vs 5 seed curse it seems. I shoulda known a team named Drake would be a letdown.

I'd like to thank Purdue for their taking all the attention away from Arizona's horrible loss.

Have shorts gotten shorter recently? I’m not complaining, I think it’s good that basketball players seem to be wearing them more normally. Even the shirts are more fitting than they used to be.

Shoutout to FAU! The small Florida school steals their first ever tournament win

Bracket is trash but Xavier back in the Sweet 16 is niiiiiiice!

I don’t watch a lot of college basketball, but why does it seem that so many higher seeds will storm out to a big lead, but slowly, over time the lower seed will get back into the game and finish with a comfortable victory. Is it not sustainable for a “worse” team to continue that form for the entire game? It reminds me of in horse racing how there are some horses who’s sole purpose is to run out to a huge lead but they’ll always tire and fall in the back of the pack.

It's moreso the higher seeds are playing "with nothing to lose" no one expects them to win whereas the top seeds have that pressure. One comes out with expectations the other comes out swinging like there's no tomorrow. Usually it catches up and the better team settles in to the game, finds out how to stop the run, and keeps it moving

It's like the Arsenal Bournemouth match last weekend lol

Welp that's it for my bracket

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Definitely into the just cheer for the underdogs point of the tourney a little earlier than usual.

 

[wokeupnew]

Looks like we've got a very tight standings at the top!

@Sonicpharmacist and I have almost the exact same Elite 8. So it'll come to down to the final 4 and/or who's ends up in the title game/winning. If Alabama win one of @Djxfactor511 or @HAIMtime will win.
