March Madness Round 1 Thread

The Big 10 is getting exposed as a fraud early. We’ll see if it holds, but both the ACC and Big I believe are incredibly overrated

Michigan is for real (although hurt by losing Cason). Other teams might all be gone by the Elite 8

Yeah, Michigan is a hard team to read. These other Big 10 teams are so slow and unathletic. They usually have guys that can shoot, but that’s about. The Big 10 and Big East are about as opposite as you can get in physicality, athleticism and style of play
 
I almost always forget to do this, but the best way to fill a bracket is to assume ACC and BIG teams will flame out
 
Well it seems Troy needs to stick to football. Guess I need to get back to work. Another reason I should retire.

And Ohio st comes all the way back. Happens every year at least a few times with the 8/9, 7/10 games especially. One team jumps out early, 12-15 pt lead, only to fully give it up, but in the type of way that can only happen in March. 31-11 so far in the 2nd, wow!

Not sure either of these can beat Duke. ....

Nope - already seeing that as much as we want the cinderellas, they aren't playing out. I expect a lot of that. We're all hardwired to the upset desire and first round chaos as part of the charm of the tourney. Not going to happen as much as we hope or think. Expecting this tourney to look like last year, 10% more upsets given it's not quite as top heavy.
 
Kid from Nebraska is going Teddy Allen on Troy. 7-11 from 3 point range from one guy is pretty insane and there’s a lot of time left

I hope you are wrong because I have a lot of upsets in my bracket. 😂

Not saying you will be wrong, but with the games just starting, can we give it a little time to see where things go. Its the first games of the first round.

I can't keep up. Didn't you say yesterday there's gonna be a ton of upsets? And then the day before it gonna be chalk?

Never have I said there would be a lot of upsets - I can send you my bracket. Simply said it looks more open than last year. Did take SF, which isn't looking great so far.

To be fair, they're playing a virtual road game. Think Nebraska wants that first ever NCAA Tourney game win?

I doubt it. Of all the 8/9 teams, Nova has the best shot of those 8 teams IMO, and even there it is slim. The four 1 seeds are too good this year.

Don't know why OSU didn't pass the ball forward with 4 seconds left. Could've got a much better shot than dribbling the full length of the court with 4 seconds.
 
High Point should be winning, missed a lot of open looks. TCU looked dangerous for a while, be interesting to see if they can give Duke a game
 
Does Nebraska have the best traveling fans in the country? This is pretty nuts. Indiana level psychopathy
