Duke vs. Virginia Tech - Game Summary - February 26, 2019 - ESPN

So now the overwhelming NCAA favorite is now no longer the overwhelming favorite? Great. That means you guys need something like this to keep track of March Madness.
Sound off, complain, brag, do whatever you like on this thread. Just know that some of you may leave March 17th (the day of the selection show) drunker than normal.

Not sure what Kermit Davis is upset about on that charge call. About as obvious as it gets.

Really going to feel sorry for whoever’s spot we take when we win the B12 tournament. Really shouldn’t be a mid major, I’m ok with taking VPI’s spot. That’d be really neat.

 

[naslundfan19]

I think Wofford is a lock.

Monday, March 4th

It may be only the Atlantic Sun, but when it's tournament tips off today, it'll begin the American tradition of "March Madness". That special tradition where CBB teams face off in the game of "Win or go home".
So anyway, here's what to see today:

Atlantic Sun Quarterfinals:
North Alabama @ North Florida (7:00)
Jacksonville @ Liberty (7:00)
N.J.I.T @ Florida Gulf-Coast (7:00)
Kennesaw State @ Lipscomb (8:00)
​

Other big games:
Game of the Day: Virginia @ Syracuse (7:00)
Texas @ Texas Tech (9:00)
Kansas State @ TCU (9:00)
Prairie View A&M @ Alabama State (9:00)

 

[jontaejones]

Depending on how it shakes out, the Big East could get as few as 2 teams in and as many as 7, depending on how many bubbles are stolen and who wins the BET.

 

[TechRaiderRider]

UT at Tech tonite
looks to be quite an interesting matchup -
UT loses by 3 pts combined
at OU and Baylor,
and then hammers the clones -
