March Madness does nothing for me any more. Likely will not watch a single game

Another thing ruined. One and done rooned the game.

Same. The product is watered down garbage. 

[seafoam1 1,879]

I haven't watched a basketball game in many years. Ghetto shlt. 

[posty 2,296]

Pretty much agree edjr...  The transfer portal has killed it even more...

[bostonlager 2,465]

Its an excuse to gamble. I'm still in.

Had to join a bunch of pools TGAF. 

[Tree of Knowledge 835]

Almost every play going under video review is one of many things that has hurt the product

I used to love, LOVE, college hoops. way more than the nba. 

can still name the UNLV/Duke starting 5 from back in the day

I haven’t ever seen a play go under review, that’s how little I watch

I don't think I've really paid attention to it since the early '90s.

The only college basketball player I could name right now is that chick from Iowa. What's her name again?

[Gladiators 1,904]

Sounds like your transition is officially complete.  Congrats Ed!

Best 2 days on the sports calendar.

Dip out of work early. Meet some buddies at the bar, have a few beers. Bullshit, make some bets, cheer for underdogs.

Get your life together.

Yep

[cyclone24 1,814]

Lol this thread. So you either don’t have a school you went to that makes the tournament or you probably just weren’t going to watch it anyway. Calling it ghetto? So do you not watch football? 
One and done killed it? Then you should love NIL because more kids are staying. 
 

I would argue as much as I dislike paying athletes. It’s created a ton of parity. You can already see this year used to be you had no chance at any of these kids recruiting wise. Now it’s a business deal and if you can provide income you can get just about any player you want. 
 

Not trying to convince anybody to watch. If you don’t like the game, you just don’t like it but look at these games already. All really close games for the most part.

Most of us live here because we ain't got no friends, or it's not golf weather.

I posted that from the sh!tter at work. I was drawing a blank, and remembered as I was washing my hands.

I would say that the NFL playoffs are better.

As a whole, yes, but these two days are different.

I watched a game and my bracket is perfect still!

Arizona takes it in the pipe every year

[posty 2,296]

If WVU can beat Princeton on Saturday, I am looking forward to seeing them play Iowa...  WVU is second in the nation with almost 14 steals per game, and force almost 24 turnovers a game, very fast, and there is a chance it could be a tight game...

[Drizzay 646]

I'll watch, but this is the first year I didn't fill out a bracket.  I remembered at like 11:15 today.  Oh well.

I love it.  We had our player draft for the tournament last night.  I have a bunch of bets placed.  Hooked up 4 TVs in the living room.  That BYU/Duquesne game got the juices flowing early.

Took the day off work and been watching since 12:00 streaming to numerous monitors and a big-screen TV. Can't get enough.

Even if I didn't gamble on the games, I'd still love it, and I despise the NBA. Something special about the opening two days of March Madness. Upsets, and buzzer beaters left and right.
