CSU/Mich was an awesome game. So was Iowa/Richmond!

Sort of. Not competitive at end. 

It's been another boring day. Miami USC was exciting finally. 

Favorites are killing it too.

Most matchups sound meh and the games haven’t been very good or exciting.

Carolina looks pretty determined to bust my bracket. I took Baylor deep even though many advised not too.

And UNC is the best team through the first weekend

And Manek stupidly throws the elbow and has been ejected

This game has been hard to watch. Officiating has been blah. And I’m a Duke fan.

In the last 2 minutes Baylor has had 3 bad possessions with no points. We will see if UNC can handle the press and make FTs down the stretch.

These first two games can completely break my bracket. My best bracket (I think) had Kansas in championship and Baylor Final 4


But I never care if Kansas loses

I picked a lot of the wrong upsets!  But that's how it is.  Seems like most of the games this year have been closer than ever, even if lacking in buzzer beaters.

Haven't done an analysis, but really competitive games so far.  And today already have UNC beating Baylor, which is not shocking, but Creighton giving Kansas a game, too.

My pool at school has 38 entries….most are 21-23 of first 32. I had 25 but a 60 year old aide who doesn’t watch got 28 of 32 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yeah, one of my worst first rounds ever  But somehow I only lost 3-4 Sweet 16's.  Still plenty of life, but not a lot places to pick-up points.

Usually I'm happy so long as at least one of my brackets has a little life after the first week.  Kind of hard not to do with how my pool works.

I went chalk so far in my bracket, and was doing well. Dogs are barking today.

Baylor scored 38 points in the last 10:30. Geesh

Baylor would’ve been better off without the and-1 to tie it! All the momentum, and down 1, I think they would’ve had a shot to win or tie it anyway and converted.

Also, that was the most obvious Flagrant-2 I’ve seen since early on this year. I cannot believe people were arguing against it.

wildcats was melting down on Twitter ….refs cost both teams big plays

Don’t poke the bear though….if he doesn’t throw elbows UNC wins by 15 easy
