It should be great. For the lack of upsets, I still think we've had a lot of uncompetitive games though. Even this one here, Michigan State never really got it down to 1 or 2 possessions where it felt like they were close. The higher seeds winning should make for better basketball but I'm not sure that happened to this point.

It’s fun to watch the Cinderella’s up to the Sweet 16. After that, I want to see the ‘real’ teams compete for the Title.

Glad to see we’ve got that this year.

Whoever wins the Title this year will have most definitely earned it!

This year Cinderella was missing from the Dance. But I didn't miss her. The clock's not going to strike 12 or anything on the Final 4 teams...Like you said, we got the best ending possible.
GO COOGS!

Yeah. Pretty much.

Greatest FF of all time. Don't believe the lies that NCAA basketball is dead.

The same programs will still win Championships despite NIL. It's going to be Duke or Florida who wins it all.

Duke hasn’t won a National Championship since 2015 (10 years ago).

Florida hasn’t won a National Championship since 2007 (18 years ago).

Houston and Auburn have never won National Championships.


But, yes, ‘same teams winning every year’. :rolleyes:

Houston and Auburn won't win it all. Only certain teams can win championships is my argument. Duke is still Blue Blood and Florida would be on their way to being the next UCONN if they win this year. Every single team that was in the Elite 8 has been in the conversation for the last several years.

We wont see those early round upsets by the lower seeds anymore. All those teams are going to lose their best players to the portal.

I no longer give a rats ass about college sports since they changed the transfer rule and started paying the players above board.

Would rather watch reruns of an old sitcom. :D

And yet none of those 4 have won it in either a decade or more or never.

And all 4 of those teams are capable of winning it all. They're #1 seeds and all time KP teams for a reason.

There's no logic to it, he just loves spamming threads with the same bullshit for some reason, no matter how dumb it sounds or how often he's wrong (Texas winning the CFB Playoff).... Baylor winning a Natty a few years ago would be the perfect example for CBB, pretty sure Scott Drew or Baylor aren't in some elite club bullshit, but hey we won't let that get in the way.

The team that hits shots and doesn't turn the ball over is who will win. There's no mythical "not allowed" or predestined outcome. The team that executes best will win, regardless of who it is.
