Current Events > ncaa tournament starting in 30 minutes

(+) Yeah! (+)

west virginia/maryland has the potential to be a good game and at 12:40 est we have virginia/furman which could be an upset special.

ncaa tourney is the best postseason in sports and p much always delivers the craziness

who do you have winning your bracket? i have houston in the money bracket i played.

I make 25 for espn just for the fun of it, but my main one I picked Texas to win for some reason.

Best few days for sports and sports betting of the year.

Time for me to pretend I ever gave a shit about college basketball (also don't care about the NBA outside of the postseason) now that Alabama has had a good year leggo

nb4 upset loss

nb4 upset loss

I'd be surprised if Bama doesn't make the final four, aka they will probably lose in the 2nd round

virginia blew a 4 point lead with like 14 seconds left to get upset.

currently the other 5/12 today is charleston and san diego st which is a battle so far

WVU and Furman nuked my bracket.
=(

meh. i'll watch pitt lose tomorrow and then forget basketball exists for another 11 months.

Rock Chalk for the repeat baby.

SDSU and Charleston in a close one.

Charleston got absolutely hosed for playing perfect defense

My wife and I do brackets, but don't take it serious because neither of us watch basketball.

I have UConn over Bama in the final, lmao.

LOL where the fuck is Furman? What the fuck is Furman.

Thurman Murman went to Furman.

Another upset is brewing with Arizona/Princeton

Out of my 25, 2 were perfect until Princeton happened.

Arizona just lost to an Ivy League team

lmao brackets destroyed

This is where. weeks from now, ESPN will interview that one guy who inexplicably still has a perfect bracket and it will be like how the fuck did you pick Princeton to beat Arizona

arizona had a complete meltdown. they didn't score a point in like the last 4 or 5 minutes at least. watching it in real time was wild because princeton didn't hit any flurry of shots, they would hit one every 3 or 4 possessions and arizona just missed everything

oof

well, he's not going to win...

The youtubetv 4 game split-screen feature is pretty nice.

It's early, but Houston is in a close one

do you know if that's on the firetv youtubetv app?

No idea. Im using it on roku and there was a banner at the top of the home screen promoting it. It's also the first thing under the "top picks for you" section. And its the first thing in the sports section

houston is only up 3 at half. i feel like they will probably separate and get a big lead in the 2nd but if you let any team keep it close anyone can come up with a big shot or get the right roll, just ask arizona

houston is a 10.5 point 2nd half favorite which seems low considering the score. that northern kentucky team seems better than most 16's but it should be a game houston dominates regardless as they have the best team in the nation imo

Come on, Northern Kentucky! We want complete madness!

N kentucky getting every loose ball

my impressions so far is that duke looks legit. they annihilated a really solid and high octane oral roberts team and smothered them on d where they had like 3 different 4-5 min scoreless droughts. if duke keeps playing with this kind of energy and cohesion they could be a threat to win the whole thing out of the 5 spot.

my winner in my money bracket is houston but they do not look like a sweet 16 team right now, much less a national championship team. i have uconn as a possible f4 threat but they will have to get through coach gangster rick pitino and the iona gaels tomorrow

Houston is SHOOK from this zone

houston pulling away kinda but everytime they get up 9-10 n kentucky makes a run.

tennessee was just up 18 and now only 5 after like 3 min, they could be in trouble

coug's only up 5 now. if they aren't careful this could take an arizona trajectory

All the top 4 seeds in the sweet 16?

houston survived but they looked terrible. they will need to play much better next round against auburn in what is basically a home game for the fighting bruce pearl's. tennessee is now on a potential upset watch up 3 with 23 seconds

looks like tenn will scrape through but they will need to play much better saturday against a duke team that has been rolling

super pumped for tomorrow's games. a lot of potentially great matchups including marquette/vermont which could be tricky close imo.

definitely looking forward to indiana/kent, memphis/fau and miami/drake the most

I hope someone can slow down Duke, they look too good. Tennessee is not looking like that team right now.

the opening line for duke/tenn is duke -3 which is shocking to me, i expected them to be like 6 or even more than that. all around the lines do seem kinda low for the bigger schools aside from alabama being -8.5 against maryland. kansas is only giving 3.5 to arkansas and houston is only giving 5.5 to auburn

usc/michigan st is the first game of the day in about 30 min followed by xavier/kennesaw st

should be more craziness today also

Xavier getting blown out by Kennesaw State

Anyone else just have an irrational hate for Gonzaga? I feel like they should be underdogs but im so glad to see them lose every year

and i love rooting for under dogs

Most indifferent really.

They're a staple in the tournament. They're the college basketball equivalent to BYU in football where they're also mid majors but have been generally solid for decades where they're kind of considered in limbo between mid major and major and are generally taken more seriously than virtually any other mid major in a given year. Only they don't have a large backing due to their religious affiliation like BYU does. Also both are apparently headed to the Big 12 soon?

They are weird because they are always good to great but have never won anything. I used to root for them to win, but now I probably root against them more than not.

xavier had to battle back against kennesaw state who had a chance to win at the end but got blocked and blew it

iowa state has a field goal. after 10 minutes.

Iowa State is fascinating

Ah, I didn't realize Pitt was one of the "play in" teams or I would have picked them over Iowa State. Oh well.

Oh I forgot
