2018 NCAA Basketball Tournament Discussion (Official Thread)

I can’t remember a tournament with so many blowouts...especially in upsets.

This tournament is weird as hell. Buffalo crushed Arizona a few days ago and I completely forgot that even happened

First time a region has none of the top 4 seeds in its sweet sixteen.

This has been one of the more entertaining tourneys in recent years, disappointing OSU result aside.

And WVU-Marshall still to come tonight.

Not even disappointed with Ohio State. We lost to a better, higher seeded (under seeded really) team. Had yesterday stayed a blowout, I might be feeling a little down, but the way the team fought back showed a lot of heart and a lot of good coaching. Always felt the Sweet 16 would have been a bonus.

And the hockey tournament starts this week with Ohio State a 1 seed in a very winnable bracket.

Idk I enjoy a few upsets but ultimately I want the best teams to be playing for a title

The "best teams" are often obnoxious basketball-only "fan" bases that I want to see shed tears. More upsets, please.

Xavier dealing with foul trouble and can't find a bucket. Trying to survive until half.

The upsets are clearing the path for UK, TTUN, and Duke. They aren't fixing that

Just means we need more upsets.

I have no love for UK or the rat faced fuck, but I'd much rather see them in the Final Four than tsun. That can NOT happen.

Yeah I want mass pandemonium in my NCAA tourneys.

So they're able to check their stars in for the final 30 seconds with the ball.

Macura hits a 3. Bluiett 2 FTs. And X leads at half.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Offense optional in the UMBC game, but they're only down 1.

 

[Buckeye513]

With OSU out, I don't really give a shit who wins. Apart from a couple blowouts it's been an entertaining tournament.

 

[Systems_id]

Feels like UMBC should be down 30.

4 points might be 30 in this game.
