OT - March Madness

Get this year’s going with this.

Butler upsets Villanova, taking the Wildcats off the 2 line, potentially.

Carolina upset # 11 FSU yesterday. Does that make the Tar Heels a lock for March Madness? And I hope dook's loss to Louisville keeps them outta the tourney.

Looking forward to March 18.

I think Carolina is in. Duke probably needs a ACC Tournament run.

That very well could be. Moreso for dook than Carolina I think though.

Yep

So what are you thinking Nazzy? Do the Zags need to make it to the Final Four for it to be a deemed a successful season?

Based on expectations coming into the season, I think so.

Illinois blows out Michigan by 23. At Michigan and without their best player.

Alabama sweeps Auburn, and have just one game remaining at Georgia before the start of the SEC tourney.

We either need some upsets, or to win it if we are going to hold onto this #2 projected seed.

RTR.

Tough news for Nova.

I find this surprising.

Sooner or later Zags are going to need to win the tournament. Them and Baylor might be the most talented teams, whereas Michigan may be the best 'team' in the country, so I can't imagine any Zags fans thinking it's a successful season unless they win tournament or make the finals AT WORST.

First ticket has been punched.

Loyola Chicago and Winthrop are dancing, joining Morehead State (bring the jokes) from last night.

 

[naslundfan19]

Michigan State beats Michigan. That should lock them in the field.

 

[naslundfan19]

No avoiding the talk now: Gonzaga enters the Dance at 26-0.

 

[naslundfan19]

Nothing too surprising happened today, so far.

I'd disagree.

Miss State beats Kentucky in the first round.

Duke calls their season off due to COVID outbreak when they were on the bubble and had a game against FSU.

Georgetown beat 'Nova in the Big East, which is a pretty large upset.

Kentucky isn’t good this year, so I‘m not surprised there.

Postponements might happen. Gotta be prepared.

Villanova is down 2 point guards, one being their best player. They could easily be one and done come the tourney.
