I will, and you do the same.

Cool beans. Thanks.

Ftr: You do know UCSB is my alma mater, don't you?
Class of '83.

Just so you'll know why I was a bit pissed how those last few moments played out.
Nonetheless...I'm still happy they made it into the dance in the first place...even though that West bracket and being a 12 seed was gonna be a very tall order to overcome, considering what laid ahead had they won today.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Can’t they just fast forward to the finals? Baylor and Gonzaga are the only two teams that have a chance at winning.

Nothing is guaranteed, bro.

I remember 85 Georgetown and 83 Houston were sure things...

One team, not 2 by far and away the best teams.

Nothing is guaranteed, bro.

It is a guarantee that one of the two will make the finals.

One team, not 2 by far and away the best teams.

Houston and Louisville in 83 and GT and St. John’s in 85. UNLV in 91.

I’ve been around long enough and seen plenty of upsets. Several teams can beat either of those if they hit their 3s.

Sports en sech.

(7)Oregon vs (10)VCU ruled a no contest (Covid). Oregon advances.

 

[Red_Chaos]

Would somebody explain to me why the announcers love this Bouknight kid? he hasn't done much.....

How s that work for point scoring a bracket??

What a shit show.

We overachieved early on, stumbled down the stretch, entered the tournament properly seeded, and played like we've been playing for the past month. Not a terrible season but a win against another struggling OU team would've been nice. Ah well. Hard to be mad at a team that plays like it always does.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

UVA has had an odd 4 season span. Upset as huge favorites sandwiching a natty.

I assume if you picked Oregon you get the W.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Didn’t get to watch the game but seeing UVA lose didn’t shock me in the least. Didn’t practice much at all after the person with COVID caused a team lockdown and add to the fact that they weren’t nearly as good as everyone was expecting them to be this year. Probably one of the worst UVA teams in the past 5+ years in my opinion.

But vcu didn't lose....

 

[Moab]

UCLA is cooking from the field right now. Honestly, I think the 11's in the play in game get an advantage by getting that game under their belt.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Goddammit I bet on Shaka Smart in a few brackets. Please don't fuck this up.

 

[We Are Decent]

Lost an Elite 8 pick (OSU), Lost my cinderella pick (SDST), and out of all the upsets....Winthrop couldn't manage to defeat a broken Nova.
It's gonna be one of those years I'm guessing....

so update....UNC Greensboro fails, UCSB fails...but Ohio upsets???
