MLCKAA 421 Posted March 8, 2022 Men’s college basketball is as good as it gets. Say whatever you want about recruiting and players getting benefits, etc. I’m not defending the sanctity of it all. The game is great. Chatanooga-Furman tonight was just classic sht and you get to see that kind of drama and clutch performing constantly in MBB. Bring on the tournament!

supermike80 1,342 Posted March 8, 2022 Meh...Im a Michigan State fan and I'm not hoping for much this year. Outside of that, I don't have much hope. Still will watch though. If I ranked my faves: Ryder Cup March madness Masters Superbowl Michigan State in a "good" bowl game. Any championship game if my local team is involved vaults to near #1. really do love the Ryder cup the most though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was a fantastic game… The big 12 is just a monster this year. I saw a stat where West Virginia who is the last place team in the conference has a better Kenpom than Rutgers who has a double bye in the Big Ten tournament. That’s crazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s crazy It’s not really accurate to call it a double bye. Regardless, Big 12 looks good. Big Ten is a beast. Regardless who you like, there’s so much to love about college bball. Tournament is going to be great. I have my eye on Arkansas, Baylor, Wisconsin, Purdue, Rutgers, Nova, Tenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The B10 emphasizes the big man more than any conf and they have two outstanding bigs. Teams are gonna struggle against them. The first “round” is a play-in.

The first 2 games are a play-in for all intents and purposes. Big 12 does the same thing but with only 1 “play-in” game instead of 2. And, no, Purdue doesn’t have a tandem like Edey and Williams every year. Look, I’m not trying to call Purdue for the Final Four. They’re just a team I think could get on a run.

Hawkeye21 1,924 Posted March 9, 2022 Each year a group of us do a tournament draft and it makes watching the tourney even more fun to watch. We draft players in a snake format and the most total points wins the pot. Takes some strategy looking at the bracket and seeing which teams play each other and which teams you expect to make it far.

Pimpadeaux 2,344 Posted March 17, 2022 8 minutes ago, porkbutt said: bump. i need to fill out a bracket and have no clue...who we got???? I've always looked at a bunch of "expert" brackets and based my picks on those. So if seven out of 10 picked a certain first-round upset, I went with that. That said, none of the ones I looked at had Tennessee in the Final Four. I picked them to go that far, and that's prolly insane, but oh well. Also, two teams I automatically have going out early are Illinois and New Mexico, the later not being in this year. Too often in the past the "experts" have one or the other going a long way, and they get bounced in the first round, to I picked Chattanooga over Illinois, even though no one is predicting that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huskyhater75 242 Posted March 18, 2022 HAHAHA, kentucky bites the dust-just another overrated sec team getting beat because they neevr played anybody OOC that was any good-just like the sec does in football year after year. The sec is proven once again to be just a punk loudmouth "look at me" conference that pounds the trump out of lesser teams OOC. That whole region (southeast) is full of nothing but a bunch of (1) losers because they vote trump, so (2) that means they will cheat at ANY cost to win (and they still lose-HAHA just like trump), (3) they will always be overrated because the NCAA cows down to those morons......................think of how much someone that voted for say................marge green from georgia-how much would they (n)ever know about sports? That whole region is full of shidiots, no other word for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
