First 2 days were good I thought.

Your take is right though. Top heavy bracket should lead to some great clashes down the road.

Yeah the first 2 days were solid. No crazy upsets. I don't even think the 4 seed K-State going down was huge because they didn't have one of their best players but at least the games were competitive. Even the 3 of the 16 seeds competed for a half.

These blowouts are no fun to watch

Just want some close games with some late game drama

Shocker.

I could post:

"Grass is green"

And you would disagree and call names for it.

You can't even look at one of my posts without getting emotional. Do yourself a favor and just block me since you can't begin to be rational in any conversation with me.
Might be right, but many posters are like this. Their replies are based on poster. Not post.

A little off topic but this NCAA tournament been ass.

Hoping this means sweet 16/elite 8 is EPIC

7 straight blowouts since 2 really close games to start the round of 32 yesterday
Plus very few upsets

Which is really surprising to me considered my previous comment.....that not much seperates teams 5-12 or even 4-13. At least in round 1, though those games were closer. Now it seems with teams seeded closer to each other there are more games that aren't close at all.

This year though, more than any in recent memory,

There is a rather large gap between the top 7 or 8 teams and the rest of the field IMO. That is not to say they are all upset proof, they aren't. But I do think the massive upsets in the first 2 rounds are more unlikely this year.

Of course as I post this Iowa is really starting to get back in this game.

As a Virginia fan I would be okay with a comeback from Iowa.

Why is possession arrow still a thing in CBB?

You're joking right? If not the answer's simple. CBB isn't the NBA.

Doesn't matter. What is the point of fighting hard to tie up the offensive player only for a silly possession arrow to determine possession

Wait a minute. Aren't you the NBA fan that doesn't like CBB?

Umm no.

NBA is a much better product but I def watch CBB a lot

Good deal. And my bad. I obviously got you mixed up w/ someone else. I have no problem w/ the jump ball rule in CBB. After all it's not the NBA. Who knows, maybe the NCAA will change the rules on that one @ some point.

You think somewhere down the road the Hawks will regret drafting & trading Doncic to the Mavs?

No, Young has worked out pretty well for them. Both teams got the guy they wanted.
