In. No bracket this year though....just looking forward to some good basketball.

Came here to start this thread if there wasn't one up, good work OP!

Hoping Rhode Island punks OU to start this thing off right.

I hope OU loses by 30. #conferencepride

Why the **** O-who is even in the tourney is beyond me. I hope they lose their asses and get punked by Rhode Island

Gimme Kentucky vs Tennessee Round 4 please.

Rooting for OU in this one. Rhode Island can blow me.

You know why....

https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.town...ze=1700%2C1133

Because watching a guy treat games like his own personal shoot around and shoot 40% and hit a third of his 3s is entertaining? :shrug:



But yeah, I know...

LOLOLOL

2 off. fouls already on poster boy.

Yeah I know too, sucks ass...

**** it, I'm giving my hot takes:

-Winner of Kentucky/Arizona raises the banner
-Two teams from Michigan make the Final Four
-NC State makes a run
-Auburn and Texas Tech lose to 13 seeds

#HotTakes

Because of run down the court and chuck a 3 pointer man?

Yeah, I would almost rather read Claysexual posts than watch OU... Nah, he still sucks more.

this right here is exactly why the big 12 sucks in the NCAA. Big 12 games are called differently. Trae Young shoves off every time he drives, he could foul out in the first half by that alone. WVU style of play gets called in the tournament.

OU and really good players might have an advantage in the NCAA Tournament, because I think most of them realize nobody cares if you score 30 and lose. If you play a good team game and get your team to the Final Four or Elite 8 more people will take notice. But in the regular season it's just about video game stats.

I picked OU (Young) and Bama (Sexton) to lose in the 1st Rd, but I'm not confident about those picks. It wouldn't surprise me if they rose up and made it to the S16.

#AnybodyButKansas

Alabama's been playing well recently.

Oklahoma hasn't.

Go Shox!!!

F the glicks! Go 'Noles!

Too bad someone didn't throw a Powerade piss bomb at Lon during his halftime interview

Actually #NobodyButKansas ok??

lmao oklahoma ****ing sucks

that 3-steal-3 sequence made me LOL

Yep... nice 10-0 run RI

It got me amped the **** up. That was sweet.

In, no

RI gonna do this shit. That was a sick three.

Haven't closely been paying attention, but if it isn't happening already, this is where Young starts trying to take over the game by missing dumb shots and maybe making a few...

And I don't know how good of a 3 point shooting team RI usually is, but it's this kind of ridiculousness that can make the tournament very fun to watch or extremely excruciating, depending on who you're rooting for...

Glad to see Oklahoma is doing their best to validate the notion that they didn't ever deserve to be here at all.

Young barely got up on that layup

OH My..... How did that put back not go in

OU VS RI Game

Overtime. Just what RI doesn't need

Even on the last play of regulation, Oklahoma is still a spectator on defense.

They don't belong. Neither does Syracuse.

****ing jOklahoma keeps shooting piss poor 3s, just keep missing them

That game last night was so awful... both teams should have lost. America lost.

All Syracuse did was let ASU shoot 30 threes over the top of the zone since ASU didn't want to put any effort into offense, and the Orange's offense was almost just as bad.

That last one by Young may have been from the NCAA Logo....

Syracuse looks like they’ve found the tallest guys who’ve never played basketball before.

Waiting for the refs to slide into Rhode Island

Hell Yeah!!!

Big time 3 then the rebound to seal it. Good game Rhode Island.

Dagger 3 by RI

Good to see Oklahoma suck. Probably my most hated college teams

OU is shit.

**** Sooner Forever

Other than watching Puke on their possessions IONA is a run and score fast... so far fun to watch.

UNC-Green making it a game against Gonzaga 60-60 with 4 min left in the game

Woof, damn near went in

KU needs to put this thing away

Feeling better about the KU game now.

BEST 16 SEED EVAH

We never stood a chance.

This is kind of unrelated, but I was reading through a Reddit thread about mascots, and I felt like I just had to make this.

WOW!!! What a finish 11 Loyola-Chi. v 6 Miami (Fla.).

First upset of the tournament.

Loyola buzzer beater 3 to beat Miami!

What a shot omg.

Sorry. KU was the first upset over the best 16 in the history of the world.

That shit ain't right

stupid ass Trae should have went to KU. Kids make stupid decisions all the time.

ROFL

Oh **** no.

You had your last word all ****ed up

SFA giving Tech all they can handle early.

Big 12 teams should just act like every team they play is KU.

That’s pretty much what they do. They lose against these teams too.

Good stuff tonight.

That gray kid took care of things for Houston

What’s with the rafter cam in the AZ game?

Go Griz!!!

Good start. They need a basket here

Go buffalo.

Yeah, they've been holding off and more. 10 pts now

Buffalo winning is the best thing to happen for UK.

God bless.

The media (especially ESPN) was really high on Arizona.... Jay Bilas was kind of angry Arizona and MSU weren't 1 seeds because he thought they were 1 seeds at the beginning of the season and hadn't changed his mind (really, he completely dismissed resumes, SoS, etc... at one point he even said "it's funny how often our preseason thoughts come true," completely oblivious to his own bias for wanting to be right).

Oops. :shrug:

Sean Miller being a bad coach isn't talked about enough.

Looks like they generally shoot a lot of 3s and they're only a couple percentage points behind Kansas for the season... would have actually been a decent upset pick.
