Tournament Thread 2024 March Madness Discussion

[Xeliou66]

I figured I would start a thread to discuss this year’s March Madness games

My Final Four is UConn, NC, Kentucky and Creighton, with UConn beating Creighton in the title game. My “Cinderella” team is James Madison, I have them getting to the elite 8, they are a 12 seed. Biggest upset I picked is Samford over Kansas

Wagner almost shits the bed at the end after dominating the whole game against Howard, but they hang on and win by 3.

Virginia is absolutely horrible. I could put up 14 in a half against Colorado State. Good grief lol

My quick click dont think bracket has UConn, Zona, Houston and Purdue and I have Washington St battling UConn in the elite 8 as my upset special.

Agreed, Virginia can’t fucking score whatsoever. They shouldn‘t have gotten in the tourney.

 

[Dead2009]

I mean its pretty bad that Colorado State can only score 27 as well.

I like Nevada as Cinderella, possibly Sweet 16. and New Mexico
I haven't had time to digest the brackets but I'll go with Illinois, UNC, Kentucky and Tennessee

Fuck Kentucky and coach cheat.

Agreed - I hate Kentucky (I call them Cuntsucky) and Cheater Calipari. Them, along with Duke and Auburn, are my least favorite teams in CBB. But Kentucky has a dangerous team and I picked them to make the Final Four, they can score a lot and are playing pretty well. I hope I’m wrong and they exit early.

It would be cool if the committee admit they watched zero Virginia games this season and put them in because of name. If the committee actually used the fucking metrics, Virginia probably wouldn't even had made the NIT. Even Virginia fans flat out said they're not good before the bracket came out. Their own fans. The same is about to happen to a handful of other teams. This has got to be the worst job the committee has done in a long time and that's speaks volumes because they're always terrible at this.

First OT game of the tourney tonight as Grambling comes from behind to beat Montana St

That Montana State vs Grambling game was pretty good.

(10)Colorado 60, (10)Boise St 53

A nasty game. Offensively not great, but it was a game of defensive hate. Pretty cool game...I enjoyed it.

Creighton struggling some with Akron now, and I have Creighton going to the title game. My bracket will go bust already if Creighton loses. They look sloppy and aren’t really using their size advantage.

#11 Duquesne just bounced #6 BYU 71-67 in the East region.
One of my brackets is already shot....lol

It's the Dukes 1st tournament win in 55 years.

Always a good thing when BYU loses.

Creighton has pulled away from Akron with a strong second half after a sloppy first half - the Blue Jays are firing on all cylinders right now.

Arizona has struggled some with Long Beach, up 6 at the half.
