March Madness

NIL. The mid major can’t stay together for 4 years anymore because anyone who is good is going to get bought through NIL.

This was the point I was making earlier.

Is this the only sport/tournament where people actively root against having the best vs the best?

Kind of...

Dan Patrick explains it pretty well.

He says that we love the chaos that occurs in the early rounds where the "name schools" get a good scare thrown into them or even get upset.

But end of the day, most folks want to see the "name schools" in the final 4 and title game.

Juju went down with a knee injury and was carried off the court. That will truly suck if it's something serious.

No report on it yet.

I don't need to see a report. That looked bad. Ruined the tournament

I feel for the young lady. Damn, that sucks. My heart goes out to her.

I get that they're kids but the older I get the less I can tolerate the terrible play lol

Ugh tell me about it, borderline sickening sometimes.

It’s a bad tournament because for the last 6-7 years the quality of play has been poor. Feels like 38% is some “hot shooting.”

Can't really have both though. Big upsets take those top teams out of play.

Yes you can. Most of the upsets are of the #12 beating a #5...something along those lines, You don't get a whole lot of 1 and 2 seeds getting beat. And even if a couple of them get beat, there are typically still plenty of higher seeds available.
