Let's start a thread. What's on your mind so far. Does Miami (OH) ger in. Committee seemingly has a choice to make. The resume is wins.....and nothing...

azgreg Looking at those matchups, the SEC is going to have a hard time staying alive past Friday.

johnnydoom , the SEC

believe it or not I think they stand a decent chance....maybe a wash, 50/50. I just.dont.see.any juggernauts in this field. I am particularly interested to see Illinois/Houston and Michigan/Alabama. Illinois is up and down and I see Houston potentially walking into the final 4....but if Illinois plays like good Illinois then it coildd be a scorcher, average or bad Illinois a d Houston pounces on them and ends it early. Bama is ripping through so far....and Nate Oates is a sconnie so there is that. I just can't root for Bama, especially vs. B1G....both are good coaches and likable.....I think these could be two potential upsets...but we.shall see! I consider Illinois to be a an upset even though it's a 3/2 as Houston really is a 1.

ode I'll be rooting for Alabama, but even though I've only seen Michigan play one game, I think they bring too much for Bama to overcome. I'm a little more intrigued by Arizona/Arkansas only because I haven't even seen the Arizona team play this year.

Much to my dismay and hatred for decades of teams like Ohio State, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Alabama, and Texas, I'm going to be a Texas fan. I like their game and I like the roots of their coach. Hook 'em Horns!

On my way to the doubleheader tonite here in Houston. Carrying two red shirts, One for Nebraska (my son's school) and one for my UH Cougars. Never dreamed I'd see UH-Nebraska for a trip to the Final Four, but it's a possibility! I talked to Coach Sampson on Monday. He said if it happens, he'll have Saturday tickets for us, mine behind the UH bench, my son's in the upper stands in the corner. 😂

I should root for Sean Miller but I can't.

Great first two games!

rsvman2 that's just strength and size winning. Chuck was right on the post-game. They should have had the tall lanky kid in cuz that would not have happened.

I didn't think that was a shove as much as the other guy offered no resistance. He had position and let that Purdue guy just move him under the basket.

WTF kind of D is Illinois playing. Man up and switch the picks. Zone🤔

Iowa now the lowest seeded to survive. That's my crew now... Texas tried - hard, and it was a great game!

ode

professor the beauty of the dance. There are tons of Iowa fans living the dream right now!

If they lose, then I've got to ride with Tennessee. Let's go underdogs!

I didn't get to watch the Arizona/Arkansas game last night. I confess that I actually fell asleep in my recliner 10 minutes before game time and when I woke up with 9 minutes left in the game it was already over. So, I still haven't seen Arizona play, but they completely demolished a team that looked to me like it was capable of playing with anyone.

rsvman2

johnnydoom To my eye, Arizona has looked like the best team in the entire field throughout the tournament.

That doesn't mean they are going to win the whole thing, but imo they should be considered the favorite to do so.

UCONN!!!!!

Just phenomenal bb games tonite.

propman

Prediction Illini destroy Hawkeyes. But dont bet on it. Im seldom correct.

propman

rsvman2 after seeing them pretty much kicking Purdue's ass, I agree. Arizona looks like the eventual champs. Hope I'm wrong.
