FSU ACC Tourney Champs! Beat both those bastards from Tobacco Rd on back to back days. Dick Vitale slobbing on both their knobs made it even better.

Kentucky & NC both lost today. That said, very good chance that is a Final 4 or title game matchup. Vandy & FSU are both capable of runs as well.
OSU has woken up at the right time. Buford is the key to the team.

OSU is a very frustrating team to watch. I hate watching players like Thomas, Buford and Sullinger who can be all mighty one game and then little bitches in the next. I have been down on Sullinger for awhile thinking he is going to be a shit NBA player. He is doing nothing to change my mind.

OSU drew the toughest bracket IMO. I'm not sure they get past West Virginia in the 2nd.

I really like OSU to the Sweet 16 but I don't think they get passed there. I have talked to my friends around here about FSU/OSU all year and would love to see it. I do think FSU matches up very well with them. FSU has the length and athletic ability to frustrate OSU. These type of teams do generally matchup well with the last couple years of OSU teams.
But FSU is inconsistent on O and could crap the bed vs Texas or Cincy in round 2. I think the matchup is dependent on OSU because I actually like the matchup with WVU.
I still think Cuse takes that Region though. Like UK as well but Baylor should scare them the most there. Duke isn't athletic enough to matchup with UK imo . I think Duke was the best 2 for UK to draw.
Love Mizzou out West. Think they can take down Michigan State if Michigan State can even get to the Elite 8.
Want to pick against UNC but I think that bracket is very weak. Gotta evaluate.

Can you call 5's like Wichita State and Vandy sleepers though? Vandy is a great team though. They played UK tough all 3 times and just beat them.
East bracket is fun for me.
-My one cousin is currently at Syracuse. They play my other cousin in NC's school in UNC Asheville
-If Cuse gets to the Sweet 16, my other cousins school Vandy could play them. They are sisters who can see their schools play if this happens.
Plus I like OSU and FSU and they are in the bracket too. Fun matchups to see and hope for the best

Sleepers in how far they go. I have Wichita State in the Sweet 16 & giving Kentucky all they can handle.
I also have Murray State, West Virginia, Ohio U & Belmont in the Sweet 16.
And I have Vandy in the Final Four.
Final Four: Kentucky, Mizzou, Vandy, North Carolina
Championship: North Carolina over Kentucky

I'm still doing a lot of catch up on most teams and conferences and i've got a lot of work to put in before thursday.
1 thing i do know is, OSU could make it to the final 4 but its not likely. The thing about March madness is there will be a good team that gets hot at the right time and they are going to make a big push. OSU can be that team. I'm not a Sullinger fan and i never have been. He plays small and he's soft in my opinion but he does have the ability to be a baller on the college level. Bufurd gets hot, Sullinger plays to his full capability and 1 other person hits his stride then OSU could make a push.
I'm not high on Mizzou or Vandy and i don't think they'll make the final 4.

I have Kentucky, Mizzou, and NC for sure in the Final 4. I wanted to pick against UNC but that part of the bracket seems the easiest to me. The other region, I have no idea. Still leaning towards Syracuse even though I think they could potentially lose to Kansas State or Vandy beforehand. I do think Cuse would be a bad matchup for FSU.
Right now I am leaning towards Cuse over FSU in the Elite 8

Is it to much of a reach to have Florida St. winning it all?

Is it to much of a reach to have Florida St. winning it all? Likely? No. Impossible? No. I like it. Look at it this way: if it happens you won't have 70% of the people in the pool with the same champ. |

Fab Melo is out for the entire Tourney. Ruled ineligible. The East bracket may have just opened up even more. I would love for FSU to capitalize and hope they don't crap themselves before the Sweet 16

Gotta pay 4 bucks to watch March Madness on your computer or phone. Fuckin bullshit.
EDIT: Might be able to not pay if you get those channels. How would you authenticate that you have them though?

We had our bracket draft tonight. For reference we have six guys and draft teams according to our random draw. Points are 20 points per win adding the seed that wins minus the seed who loses. So a 1 seed beats a 16 seed is 21-16= 5 points for the winning team. My teams are
Kentucky
Georgetown
Louisville
UNLV
Mich
Memphis
So. Miss
Colorado St
Detroit
UNC-Ashville

Elite 8 and on.
Kentucky
Baylor
Louisville
Missouri
Vanderbilt
Florida State
North Carolina
Kansas
Kentucky
Missouri
Florida State
North Carolina
Kentucky
North Carolina
Kentucky
I had Syracuse in the final 4 before Fab Melo got eliminated. He is too big to their zone defense for me to think they can win the bracket. So I rolled the dice on FSU and it is somewhat wishful thinking (although possible).
Hardest part was me picking Louisville over Michigan State in the Sweet 16. I just think Louisville has an easy road to the Sweet 16. Davidson is pretty weak and New Mexico/Long Beach State is probably the weakest 5/12 matchup. So in the end, it wouldn't kill me if MSU goes one more round than I picked.
Big upsets I have:
Long Beach St 12 over 5 New Mexico
NC State 11 over 6 San Diego St
South Florida 12 over 5 Temple
Also have 3 10's winning in WVU, Xavier and Virginia
Have NC State 11 and USF 12 in the Sweet 16

This thread is dead already.
But I get it for now because this first day has sucked. No drama at the end in the first 6 games

Cuse going down would have brought me a ton of points. I grabbed UNC Ash over a 15 or 14 seed hoping for an upset with Fab Melo out. Almost got it

12-4, if you took better seeds you'd be 14-2
