I think the whole east bracket is as far as big name programs and or coaches
East is definitely staxked
Well, Bama would have been a lock to win reefer madness.....
Disasterclass from Texas. But they escape.
Wonder when players and coaches will stop instantly running on the court after a potential game winner
Ohio State looks like shit. Yeesh.
You are welcome, Buckeye fans.
Ohio State came back with Tilley in the bench then played him the rest of the game while he got abused on defense
Always sucks when some of my key upset picks get bounced early on Day 1. I usually claw my way back in, but then money in my pool ends up a long shot.
I do enjoy how my pool rewards upset picks. Definitely makes the entire thing so much more enjoyable. A lot more strategy in picking, and then you're never more than a cinderella run away from vaulting to the top.
A long time ago you use to be able to easily go 14/16 on day one picks, and only miss a handful of picks through the first round. Now it’s all very very unpredictable. A 5 seed has already lost within the first few games.

Hey, that 5 seed was one of the ones looking to lose that prompted my post!
When the committee is really dialed in, you have a ton of coin flip games. And that also means the Final 4/8 are very top-heavy.
Probably also something to be said for the transfer rules and NIL gutting a lot of the advantage the "sleeper" teams had.
UNC went full ratard
Hubert should probably be fired after that. Goodness gracious.
That Kentucky - Santa Clara game was a lot of fun.
I was really hoping Wright State could pull off the upset.
Saw some pics on FB that show UK catching the ball for that game tying shot…player was with back foot even with the foul line. Next pic he’s 6ish feet further down the court and it’s still on 2.4 seconds
These games take too long to end. The timeouts, tv timeouts (not a big deal late) officiating reviews and challenges. Officials huddling, coaches asking questions and players can score in so many ways
Feels like the average final minute of close games takes 25 minutes
