Wow, this is probably my worst year ever. I still have a few darkhorses going deep that could get me back in it, but most of my "good" darkhorses and "smart" picks are gone. I've gotten just 16 out of 23 so far (leader has 21!) and sitting at about 63% of the leader's points.

In hindsight, MSU was winning a lot of close games in the B1G and the conference is mostly shitting the bed. Purdue was one of the darkhorses I felt good about - MSU over Purdue in the Elite 8 and going on to win it all!!!!!

Hopefully Michigan State's overall performance this season at least quiets the Greatest Tournament Coach of All Time chatter. The dude's a great coach. He's not in the GOAT discussion, not even a little bit. He's not even in the discussion for greatest of the last 25 years. And it's not even close.

Ignoring spread, I feel like it's the biggest upset ever. I know that's the 8th(?!?!) 15 seed to win, but a lot of people has MSU winning it all.

Green Bay is playing with reckless abandon, trapping all over the pace and shooting the ball every ten seconds. Forty Minutes of Hell is alive and well.

Texas A&M is fucked.

They aren't a good shooting team! I wanted to go with GB but chickened out

Lol.

All I'm saying is until Izzo wins multiple titles, he can't be in that GOAT discussion. He just can't. Final Four appearances aren't enough. If almost winning was enough, then Marv Levy would routinely be mentioned as a GOAT coach in the NFL. While all of those Final Fours are great, they are also reminders that Izzo has lost more on the big stage than any other coach in this era. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing; it's just not a great thing IMO.

Yeah, Green Bay isn't '94 Arkansas. Admittedly, all of my excitement got the best of me there.

If you don't score 50 in an NCAA tournament game, you should have to forfeit the win.

WVU gets away with so many damn fouls. Reminds me of Pitino's Louisville teams.

My wife has only 6 misses so far in the first round. Left side of the bracket she's perfect 14/14

Had Mich St to Elite 8 and Purdue Sweet 16...everything else alive but has A&M winning it all...but who knows

Did not think WVU would be an upset victim

That's the 3rd time a WVU has shoved a SFA player to the ground on a rebound and it's either been a no call, a foul on SFA, and now a double foul.

LOL that is in no way, shape, or form a double foul.

WVU can't score. If you can beat their pressure they aren't even a top 50 team. Remember how great they looked last year against Maryland too?

I believe that would be Ohio over Georgetown by 14

According to KenPom, 8 of the top 27 teams in the NCAA's are already out, Texas, Cincinnati and Xavier still playing.

This is an embarrassment by WVU. Woeful and Huggins used his last timeout with 8 min left. Have never seen such a thing.
