I just need Oklahoma over UNC to win one of my bracket pools and need UNC to make it to the finals to win a 6 beer flight bet ($60) with my neighbor who never watches sports lol.

Top pick was Oregon, then Cal. After that, the best players from those teams were gone.

Really wish Gonzaga wouldn't have blown that lead against Syracuse. Watching Cuse play UVA is painful.

Liking this UVA margin. Would like to see them end this with about 10 min left but the Syracuse team doesn't quit.

Seems like Gbinije is afraid to challenge Brogdon on the offensive end. He's just being very passive.

I don't think Cuse has enough offense to come back.

23-4 run since this post? Take it back man or this Cuse team will knock out UNC if they can survive the luck of the Irish

Cuse played Carolina tough twice this year. I don't particularly like the match-up against either UVA or Cuse, should the Heels advance.

Virginia's "score quick" offense is pathetic.

Top seeds 0-3 in the round. But I'll take UNC by 15.

Bennett has to just be sick right now. Up 16 midway through the 2nd half and just collapsed.

Ok...so you dominate the first 33 minutes of the game and then the opponent presses you and you keep heaving inbounds passes to mid court (some successful completions and some not) and then you go out of control to basket with no awareness that the defense was coming in behind you?

Since the first two rounds this tournament as been a colossal rooting nightmare.

Syracuse is making sure the Monmouths of the basketball world rarely get a chance.

This doesn't change anything about Cuse deserving a bid or not. Their regular season was garbage.

#1 seeds are dropping like flies. I'm officially terrified.

He's probably just pissed at me for coming in the house from passing ball. There was 8:30 left when I sat down to watch. It's unbelievable what my rooting interests have done to me enjoying this tournament.

Disagree they had some good wins and having your coach out for awhile hurts. But they also had an easy ass road to the Elite 8. Reminds me of VCU when they made the Final 4, Bilas went off about them making it, and then they storm to the Final 4

The ability to make a deep run could be a tie breaker so to speak.

Have made it 4 rounds farther than the great MSU from the same easy ass road.

Quite the Mike Piazza/Tom Brady type draft pick for you.

Thought I had heard on Selection Sunday that the committe didn't punish them for the losses while Boeheim was out.

I'd rather see duke win than Syracuse. Boeheim is the absolute worst.
