March Madness is HERE!!!

csu87 · 03-14-2016, 12:08 PM

Who you got winning it all? How many brackets you got? Any big surprises in the bracket.

For myself, Ive got Kansas beating Michigan State in one of my big money brackets, to go with Duke getting one, Kentucky getting one and Michigan St. winning another in all my money brackets. Then of course tons of crazy finishes in all the free tourneys.

One of the things that really stands out to me is OU getting a home game in the 1st round. Not that I mind cause id love to my Sooners go deep in the tourney.

I don't have time to do much more than catch/stream my Spartans' games. (Does anyone know if the streaming site does replays?)

If I were a Virginia fan, I'd be beyond pissed.

ASBSECU E93 · 03-14-2016, 10:10 PM

I have the Heels going all the way...in one bracket.

Kansas in another bracket...

Mich St in another...

I have about 8 brackets live on ESPN, completing a couple others tonight.

No way they get past the round of 16 with their limited bench. Ingram is a stud, Allen is a hustler, but they have nothing else...

csu87 · 03-15-2016, 05:23 PM

just did one based on ESPNs predictions and OU beats UVA in the finals.

Final 4 is Kansas vs OU and Indiana vs UVA

I went into our Web Filter and selected March Madness category to BLOCK

ASBSECU E93 · 03-16-2016, 01:32 PM

UncleWede - That is just cruel!!!

Most of my brackets have either Kansas or the Heels winning, One has Kentucky.

UncleWede · 03-16-2016, 01:40 PM

It was AMAZING when I found that category. Talk about L O L!!!!

I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.

csu87 · 03-16-2016, 06:00 PM

Uh...
Anyway, back to basketball.
I'll revive my prediction if I'm right or wrong.

gonzo · 03-17-2016, 11:01 AM

What do obamas past brackets look like I wonder.
Just read he picked A&M to lose to Kansas in the final four.

RickFLM4 · 03-17-2016, 12:16 PM

I filled out 8 brackets on ESPN. I picked NC, Nova, Kansas, Virgina, Oklahoma, Michigan State and Oregon to win in 7 of them. Miami in the 8th because it makes no sense to fill out this many free brackets and not pick your alma mater in one of them, particularly when they have the best team they have ever had.

You think this is Miami's best basketball team...they've ever had...really?!?!

Admittedly, I don't know much about the Rick Barry days and earlier, but yes, I think this is the best team they've had since the revival of the program when I was in school there back in the 1980s. It is not a basketball school and I don't recall any previous teams making it past Sweet 16.

They had a couple of good teams under Leonard Hamilton and were very good a couple of years ago, but this team if full of seniors, strong guards, very good center, good bench. They haven't been consistent, which is a problem.

Are you asking because you think they aren't that good and find it odd this is the best team they've had or because you think there was a better team?

They had a team make it to the Final 4 after joining the ACC...

I actually had to look it up because I couldn't believe I forgot something like that...

They may have made it to the quarterfinals in the NIT, but I don't think they ever won more than 2 games in the NCAA tournament, which would only get them to the Sweet 16, where they lost.

I stand corrected - and would have bet $$ they made it to a final four...
