Strider Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 In case any of you wish to share your Bracketology. USC got screwed by the Selection Committee. I feel for Virginia fans, too. The Committee gave Virginia the toughest road to the Final Four. Syracuse...Oklahoma...Arizona State...some questionable selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Syracuse shouldn’t have gotten and that’s from a die hard Orange fan. NCAA has screwed them royaly in the past few years and now they are at only 8 scholarship players. Next year will be a completely different story...GO ORANGE!

They moved it to basic cable TNT/TBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Welcome to the tournament UCL...ooops, that was quick. Sayonara UCLA! I'm cackling with delight. Besides rooting for Providence and Rhode Island, my only interest at this point is seeing if this big kid from Arizona is really all that and a bag of chips. Jay Bilas actually invoked the name of Wilt Chamberlain. Those are some big shoes to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha...yeah, I thought the hyperbole was a bit much. The Pac-12 is vaporized from the tournament in a nanosecond. ASU, UCLA, Arizona...see-ya! The one bet I've made on this tournament so far: I bet UMBC plus 22.5 points over Virginia tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you just made a LOT of money! Not only has a #1 lost now to a #16 seed, think on this... This was only Virginia's 3rd loss all season. And, UMBC needed to hit a last-second miracle shot in their conference tournament final to beat Vermont just to qualify for the NCAA Tournament this year. Beyond unbelievable...

The Cavaliers won the ACC regular season by FIVE full games over Duke and then followed it up with a very dominant performance in winning the ACC tournament. I thought they would be playing Villanova in the National Championship and stood a very good chance of winning that game. Totally bizarre...

Stryder1978 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 ...my men's bracket is a disaster - only 8 teams out of the 16 that are still in it (I still have Villinova winning it all!). My women's bracket is in great shape - 13 teams on my bracket are in the Sweet 16! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling Puke is going to win it all again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
