2019 NCAA Basketball Tournament Discussion (Official Thread)

[BuckeyeNation27]

Do you seriously think the B1G's basketball reputation takes a hit with MSU losing? Is there anything Ohio State has to gain by MSU winning? What are you even arguing against? I think it's dumb to root for MSU for the same reason Tennessee roots for LSU......a lame ass attempt to pretend your team is good bc your conference mate won a title. Anything else you want to throw a couple paragraphs at me for is pointless, bc I'm not arguing for anything else.

BTW, anyone else sick of the overly-produced intros where they dress players up in their unis and they basically yell and point at the camera?

So gay and tired.

I guess we should all just root for Ohio State and no one else.

Why even bother watching other games, you know.

I don't think B1G teams directly makes OSU looks good, though there are indirect benefits to the conference doing well, yes.

I root for B1G teams because I am familiar with them and I want them to win (sometimes, I do take pleasure in IU, scUM, and Illinois losses, though).

Why is that bad?

I was about to post something very similar. Sort of reminds me of the Super Bowl on how to ruin a good sporting event. I also could use a change in announcers. Getting tired of Nantz and Rafferty. Grant Hill is okay for a Doookie but all three of them missed the double dribble

 

[LitlBuck]

Duke starting 5:

R.J. Barrett - #1 in 2018 (5*)
Cam Reddish- #2 in 2018 (5*)
Zion Williamson - #5 in 2018 (5*)
Tre Jones - #15 in 2018 (5*)
Javin DeLaurier - #39 in 2016 (4*)

All sitting at home watching on TV

So I guess the Buckeyes have a chance next season because we have a little bit of both.

Calling my shot:

Tech 60 UVA 54

 

[OHSportsFan]

Two very good teams that play team ball. I have no clue on the winner. I lean UVA on the destiny side and redemption for last year, but Tech is so good and long. Tariq Owens won't be 100% for the Red Raiders.

Should be a very good one. I'd rather not be up until midnight watching it, but it's the last college ball for 6 months.

Would anybody here trade Ohio State being the first 1 seed to lose to a 16 if it meant a title the very next year?
