2024 NCAA tournament & bracket discussion

[Thump]

Watched this game while flying to vacation.


First game I have watched from beginning to end all year.

Unwatchable because of the dependence on 3’s.

Other observation, OSU does not have guys built like those in the tourney. Saw a highlight of Ladee and he has shoulders like Dwight Howard.

Our S&C needs exponential improvement.

Pringle probably has a heel contusion, still playing. Same injury that kept Moustakis (Reds) out of action for most of the season.

Two really entertaining games. Been mostly watching the Illini, they've looked solid but allowing the Cycs to stick around via missed free throws.

Shannon just picked up a terrible fourth foul, could get really interesting.

Bacot is having a rough time against Nelson at both ends, lol.

Illinois to the elite 8. They’ve had some nicely built teams recently. Still shocked Underwood can navigate them there.

About as solid 1-5 as anyone in the country. Shannon is elite.

And the Bucks had them on the mat 2 weeks ago before they kicked out.

12:30am on a school night and there's still a game on. Madness, indeed.

The ref pulled his damn count!

Shannon for Illinois only played 22 minutes yesterday because he picked up 4 fouls. Imagine that, Big Ten refs, a guy who often just runs into opposing players not getting star treatment.

Rough night for former teammates that helped Carolina to their '22 Final Four run, and their tourney miss last season.

I'll give Bama credit for getting the best out of the portal. All their stars are transfers, and they're getting it done right now. And incredibly, Mark Sears can come back next year for a 5th season. Thanks a lot, COVID.

I did have UNC making the Final Four, so Bama busted my bracket. Gotta think now UConn & Bama will meet for a spot in the title game.

Well I'm out now with the NC loss. Really frustrating to watch these teams just throw up 3s all game long. Most of them can't even shoot 20%.
