It's that time of year, post your brackets, predictions and who you think should have made the tourney but stayed on the bubble.

Here's my bracket, my final four is Duke, Arizona, Kansas and Kentucky. I have Kansas winning the title.

Thank you for having Kentucky  in the Final Four. You see I am sick of watching ESPN and not giving My Kentucky Wildcats any love and respect But you know what? I'm glad they are betting against us. We won 11 in a row. Our defense is getting better and we are playing team ball. Say what you want about John Calipari but he took a 4th seeded Kentucky to the Final Four in 2011. And in 2014, he lost to a really bad South Carolina team in the regular season but he "tweaked" his team and took them to the title game. Bu

I filled out a ton of brackets (1 yahoo, 10 ESPN, 2 work). The works ones are the only ones I took seriously (one of ESPN backets has SMU winning it all--yes, homerism).

My work one has Kentucky, Arizona, Duke, and Kansas with Arizona winning it all (beating Kentucky in the final). That bracket is perfect so far (I picked Mid Tenn over Minnesota) and (NW over Vandy).

The other work one is Nova, Gonzaga, UCLA, and Oregon with UCLA beating Nova in the final. That bracket is not perfect (missed UVA/UNC Willmington so far and picked Vandy of NW in that one).

I can't scan them in because they have personal contact info in them.

My bracket has been alright except for the Minnesota pick. Was hoping they would go farther than that. After one day of action, I'd say Northwestern vs Vandy and Princeton vs Notre Dame were the most exciting.

Just out of curiosity, how do you feel about Richard Pitino and did you like Tubby Smith when he coached there?

Well, I was fine until Xavier won. I had Maryland in Sweet 16, bit not further (so damage isn't that bad) I also wiffed on Iowa St./Nevada. but I picked Purdue to win in the next round, so it might not matter. I should count my blessings though. I was done within the first 4 hours last year because of Mid Tenn/MSU game.

Kentucky beats NKU 79-70. It may not have been pretty but it was a win. We play Wichita State whom three years ago, we've beaten in the second round in 2014. They were undefeated.

Is an upset really an upset if it involves Villanova? I thought maybe they turned over a new leaf after last year, but nope. They are still Villanova.

Yeah, our history spans multiple sports

 

 

So back to the tourney, I'm looking forward to both Michigan games today. Wolverines are red hot right now coming in to face Louisville and you can never count out Izzo so Kansas has to be ready.

Well, Duke's gonna bite it. I'm torn, they were a final four pick for me. On the other hand, the only thing I like about Duke basketball is it losing basketball games, so I can't complaining about them losing too much. 

 

I knew there was not dominate team this year, but I'm surprised at all the high ranked teams barely surviving (or outright losing). Wichita State was seeded to low and Kentucky was kinda screwed getting them so early, but they beat NKU by 9. UNC blew a huge clear and almost lost to Arkansas. Arizona had to squeak by. Oregon and Baylor as well. Gonzaga almost blew it (like they do every year). Louisville wasn't that uprising and Villanova is well...Villanova. 

 

I kind of agree with ESPN. The seeding this year was bad.

They said this year's Duke team was better than the UK team that went 38-1.

Uh anyway at least that team went to the Final Four. This Duke team laid an egg.

It was a good night of BBall last night. Xavier stunned by taking down Zona. Had them going to be runner-up but that Xavier squad is proving to be a tough bunch.

 

Gonzaga vs West Virginia and Oregon vs Mich both came down to the wire, so exciting stuff. Kansas blew out Purdue, though, they look like the real deal.

 

I think South Carolina has a legit shot vs Baylor tonight and I'm curious to see how Wiscy does vs Florida.

I had figured Xavier to be like Creighton because Xavier was flaming out toward the end of conference play. Baylor has the best luck so far, they seemed to be a team on the downslope and all the competition that could take them out is losing. I really have no idea who comes from the East. I don't trust any of those teams.
