****2015 March Madness thread****
 

I'll probably find the time to keep daily updated brackets in the thread. In the mean time, who do you have winning it all? Kentucky a lock? Teams lose. So I don't think so. I truly believe undefeated hurts you going into The Dance.

Virginia's head coach Tony Bennett comes from Wazzu and I remember being happy the day he left even though I wondered why Virginia? Not rooting for them. I really don't know.

I expect Kansas to not make the sweet 16 potentially. Definitely not a championship contender (which would make it all the sweeter should they defy the odds).

In
Kentucky undefeated

Good thread, nuts.

If you get really bored you should update the OP with automatic bids.

Duke getting a shit ton of calls down the stretch.

Love watching Duke lose.

AND STILL NO ONE CARES ABOUT ND BASKETBALL.

That Granger kid "holding his dukes" up yelling "what's up" to some of the LSU players had me rolling.

Only when they beat Duke.

What game should I be watching now???

Uhhhh, Oregon/Utah on mute.

Walton is AIDs.

Like ND (when not beating Duke).

DON'T YOU EVER SAY SUCH FILTH!!!

I was calling ND AIDs.

Oh I read that as I like ND when beating Duke.

Such thread

Much post

Oregon just nailed a 25 foot dagger to beat Utah to get into the Pac 12 championship. Great game.

This might be the first year I don't even bother watching.

Where they will be crushed by U of A

Don't blame ya.

Missouri hangs a banner

I'll watch at least the first two rounds...once it gets to the final four, I figure Kentucky will just flat roll. If they lose, I will definitely have more interest in the finish.

Let's go Cougs!

Let's go Terps beat Michigan State.

48 games in four days and will have money on each and every one,leaving for Vegas on Tuesday.

Let's go Badgers,Shockers and any team playing the Jayhawks!

Izzo has the Spartans playing well.

lew didn't think they'd even make the tournament.

KU cheats and still no banner.

The Holy Cross/Albany game was a classic. Games like that are what makes March Madness awesome.

Kid who hit the game winner had his mom pass in January.

Pretty awesome.

Boring

K bye. Nice of you to show up.

Drop a $20 on MU for me.

Excellent job by Wyoming.

This is where I come in and post this.

SUCK MY DICK CHIEFSANDO'SFAN. YOU JUST GOT BEAT BY THE WEAKEST MICHIGAN STATE TEAM IN OVER A DECADE. MIKE MOUSTAKAS ALSO NEVER TOOK STEROIDS AND WE KICKED THE O'S ****ING ASS. BUT BACK TO THE SPARTANS, SUCK ON THEIR SALTY BALLS!!!

I'm feeling frisky tonight, any good games on worth watching? UofA is smoking Oregon. Boring. No shock.

7'6 Mamadou N'Diaye trying to carry UC Irvine.

Dude awesome! I'm watching now. Thanks.

These next couple of weeks are gonna be insane. Vegas here I come.

SDSU lost the tournament championship today and hasn't won it since 2011 (they lost the finals every year since, except one), and it's really depressing. We've only had one outright championship (2013-14 regular season champs) since 2011, despite being considered one of, if not the best team in the conference every year since. It sucks.

One of the best days of the year!

Time once again to figure where TruTV is in the channel lineup.

My prediction for KU's first round opponent is UC-Irvine and if KU does not hit over 50% from 3 they will be one-and-done b/c KU will NOT be able to get anything in the paint in that game.

**** YOU AND YOUR WISCONSIN BADGERS CEEJ!!!!

BORING ASS WHITE BASKETBALL!!!!!!!

ON WISCONSIN, ON WISCONSIN!!!

States' offense is a dumpster fire

Yep. Pretty sure we'll be one and done this year in the tourney. That's what happens when you lose your only scorer (Xavier Thames) and don't replace him. We've got a guy who will be our scorer next year (Malik Pope), if he doesn't leave for the NBA draft.

How MSU is in this game I'll never know. They have played some ugly basketball a lot this year. Not a good team.

Sounds awfully familiar.

Why has it been a "down year" for Izzo and co? Injuries? Transfers? Poor recruiting class?

Kentucky

No one can stop them but themselves.

Lost a lot last year. Articles have also claimed recruiting has been hurt because Izzo always recruits by the rules unlike some of the bigger schools. I agree. He's a great man.

Impractical Jokers channel.

How can anyone pick against them?

Obviously Kentucky is the best team and some team is gonna have to play their best game, and hope Kentucky plays its worst to pull off the upset. But what teams could pose a threat to knocking them off? Its gonna take a team with some height. So here are my picks, doesn'tmean i think they beat Kentucky, just that they actually have a shot at pulling off a miracle:
Texas- Turner, Ibeh, and and Ridley are some big bodies, and depending on how they play, could pull off the upset.
Arizona- couple 7 footers and they are a very good team
Duke- Okafor, Plumlee, and Obi provide height while Winslow and Turner provide some outside threat.
Kansas (homer pick)- we have...but we played a bad game....if we are hot...ahh who am i kidding, it would take a miracle of epic proportions to beat them.

Good game for the B10

Gotta put Iowa State in there too.

Also, ugliest uniforms ever go to Wisconsin for the shit they are wearing today. Horrible.

Adidas put that template on 5-6 schools for postseason play. Can't remember which ones off the top of my head but Wisconsin, Kansas, and Cincinnati were a few of them.

Welp, this doesn't feel good.

I'd tell the Badgers to catch AIDS but all of these white guys are virgins.

Kaaaaaamiiiiiiiinkssssssky.

I should never talk shit. It always backfires.

****, HOW MANY TEAMS TO YOU HAVE?!?!?

KANSAS, WISCONSIN, NOTRE DAME....ANY OTHERS?

Nice 2 for 1 there by MSU

Wow, big answer. Surprised. We usually shit ourselves late game this year.

I don't like Notre Dame, ****ing n00b.

I only liked them because they beat Duke last night. I hate Duke so much.

HOLD THE ****ING BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was ****ing stupid.

And the second time they did that!

Oh my.

OT

Damn, good look.

Thought it was going in.

Great, have to sit through 5 more minutes. Thanks MSU/Wisconsin

****ing B1G. :D

I just don't think they match up well with Kentucky. Same with Kansas. Both teams lack the size to deal with KY. On top of it, Kansas's 3 point shooting has been worse than terrible, which is the only way they would have a shot. The only reason I picked Texas, was because of the size down low, and I tried to find a team lower than a 6 who I felt could pull out an upset. I hate to keep harping on Kentucky's height, but they would be the 3rd largest team in the NBA, so its gonna take a NCAA team with some height as well as the game of a lifetime to win against them.

Welp

GAME OVER.

Glad one of your teams could win Ceej. When you have a team in every conference, you're likely to get a championship somewhere.

Kentucky will be the first #1 seed to lose to a 16.

Take it to the bank.

Has State scored in overtime? I don't think they have....

ROFL

What a coincidence UK is my favorite SEC team. LMAO

**** YOU

**** Sparty with a cactus.

Eat shit and die, Michigan State
