March Madness Discussion Thread

[Ryany]

Watching the "NCAA student-athlete" commercials on a Kentucky Game makes my blood boil.

They also likely won't leave this game until it is a 40 point margin since Kentucky is close enough geographically.

[Moss]

This will probably be the least competitive game all day and CBS won't leave it

[Titanss]

Prolly time to watch Iowa/UNLV this is ridiculous

[Byrd]

Ohio up 13 on Georgetown? The Big East is not looking very good at all so far.

[Ryany]

I don't know if I want to talk about the big elephant in the room that nobody is talking about yet because I don't want to jinx anything.

Edit: Byrd beat me to it. I'm glad I have 0 BE teams in my final 4.

[Akiyama]

I have them in my Elite 8.. hell, 5 of my Elite 8 teams are Big East teams. I'm retarded for not listening to myself.

I have problems picking the Big East because lately, the Big East has been shit in the tourney even with all of their high seeds. It seems like they just 'chill' in March and play like crap :/ I think there was a case where a few got to the Final Four, and then the non-BE team wins the Championship. I mean seriously, Big East. Toughest conference, go out and win a championship.

At last when the SEC goes to bowls in College Football, they win shit. Quote from above is from a little bit ago in the College Basketball thread we had before.

GEORGETOWN WHAT THE FUCK

[Headspace]

East Tennessee State representin' the Atlantic Sun wooot wooo

[Akiyama]

I seriously think these Big East schools who are higher seeds (or even middle tier seeds) come into this tourney thinking they're the better team in most cases, in the strongest conference, and then don't take their opponents seriously. Heck, I think Baylor did that today before finally stretching that win out.

[Headspace]

Other than WVU and Syracuse, most Big East schools are grinders and if they don't play at high level all the time, they can seriously get caught by surprise.

[Headspace]

Notre Dame is a scoring team, but they also don't play D and have a faggot football coach, so they deserved it really.

[Headspace]

I also have Marquette losing, so I wasn't expecting much from the Big East outside of Syracuse, WVU, Nova and UL

edit: triple post, idc, fuck you

[Tyche]

The team that finished 7th (?) in the BE and entered the tourney as a bubble team got beat by 1, and the sky is already falling through? You guys are harsh. And no, I didn't see the Nova game, but I read the comments. Nonetheless, they won. Can we at least wait until g-town (finished 8th? in BE) and marquette lose?

[Stiker]

Well, at least I don't have Georgetown going to the Sweet 16, but still wtf is this shit?

[Headspace]

Oh wow, I changed G'town to go to elite eight, but it didn't save, so they're only at the Sweet sixteen. However, I think they're in the elite eight in the one at work that I threw down money on.

But only like 4 people are in that pool so as long as I get the champ and some good amount of the elite 8 right, I should win.

[Soa]

I was gonna pick G'town past the Sweet 16, then I remembered that every third game or so they play like absolute shit.

[Ryany]

I love to see all these IU transfers doing well. You have Bassett with Ohio, Allen with Saint Marys, Crawford with Xavier. It is just even more insult to injury for their last 2 years.

...and lol at CBS leaving the Georgetown/Ohio game for a closer one.

[Headspace]

Georgetown coming back, gotta get some stops

[Mizango]

Holy shit at Northern Iowa. Talk about a clutch shot, I have them making it to 16 :3

[Stiker]

That 3 was indeed ridiculous
