Looks like most commentators expect Connecticut to win it all.

I've got big money on JMU.

He'll have a perfect bracket. The most beautiful bracket that's ever been made. And then he'll tell the winner that he was responsible for them winning.

Obama did a bracket because ESPN invited him to do one as part of an ESPN broadcast. Obama had nothing else to offer the country, so they provided a way for him to be relevant. ESPN would never do that for Trump, nor would Trump do it since he would have real President stuff to do.

This freshman held Olajuwon to 12 points in the semi-finals.

Obama rode the pine as a high school hoopster, as I understand it, and I doubt he knew diddlysquat about NCAA basketball. One of the best videos of him as our sporty, vigorous president is when he needed about 24 attempts to make one layup.

Down goes Kentucky!

I hate Kentucky. Good riddance.
Also, look for UConn to lose in Round 3. Big East teams have not done well at all so far in NIT games. So far, 1-4. Their only win was Seton Hall over St. Joes in overtime.
-
I always cheer for the underdog. Go Duquesne!
-
FYI... My sister-in-law who is battling cancer.
Her sister is Duke University's head coach, Kara Lawson's mother. They just beat Ohio State to get into their SWEET SIXTEEN!!
I played little league baseball and basketball with her late father Bill Lawson in South Buffalo, back in the day.
He'd be doing back-flips if he were alive today.

Go Iowa State.

I always liked Kara. Having played under Pat Summitt, she learned from the best.

Speaking of Dook, they're killing JMU. My hopes of early retirement are going down the drain. I was getting 250:1 odds.

@mountaineer
I'm very happy for her too. This should make recruitment for Duke a bit easier for her.
It's also a credit to her that she can inspire her players to make adjustments...because it seems they always trail by double digits after the 1st quarter.
Always coming out cold...but finishing! No way to make a living, IMO.
Like consistantly walking the lead-off batter every inning...very dangerous way to play.

March Madness: Houston survives Texas A&M rally, buzzer-beater to advance past Aggies in OT thriller
Story by Jason Owens
Houston appeared to have Sunday's win over Texas A&M in the bag in regulation.
Instead, the top-seeded Cougars found themselves in fight down the stretch that threatened their NCAA tournament lives.
No. 9 seed Texas A&M rallied from an 11-point deficit in the final two minutes to force overtime in the second-round NCAA tournament game. But Houston survived in a 100-95 thriller to advance to a Sweet 16 showdown with Duke.
Houston blows big lead, hangs on to win
Houston led, 82-71 with 1:48 remaining. But the Aggies rallied and cut the lead to 86-83 with 45 seconds left. They then had two looks at game-tying 3-pointers in the game's final 10 seconds. Wade Taylor IV missed both.

I was there in 74`75 LIVING ON the GI bill. Never took it serious, other than to meet Women.

Can't imagine that @corbe
Shocked, shocked I tell you. :cool:
-
The Cougars are done.
Here's how the conferences line up in the Elite Eight:
ACC - 3 teams
SEC - 2 teams
Big Ten - 2 teams
Big East - 1 team
Hopefully, we'll hear no more whining from UConn about how the Big East should have gotten more respect.
Upcoming conference matchups:
Big East v. Big Ten
SEC v. ACC
SEC v. Big Ten
ACC v. ACC

In the women's bracket last night: LSU players left the court before the national anthem was played. Iowa players stayed and held hands.

Which is why I enjoyed it so much to see them and particularly Angel Reese lose and walk out deflated and dejected. No respect for anything or anyone.
Hey Ghetto, welcome to the Trailer Park.
-
Angel Reese (echoing the always-lovely Jemele Hill) claims she's the target of racial abuse, death threats, etc., etc., because we're all rayciss, or something.
-
Resident idiot Kamala Harris gives a sports history lesson, claims there were no brackets for the women’s NCAA Tournament until 2022. This - like just about everything else this dimwit says - is not true.
