Doing brackets here sucks bc everyone picks UNC to win lmao

Duke vs Zaga
Vols vs UNC

Vols vs Duke

Vols win

Does the tournament start today or something?

Thats how far CBB has fallen on the watch list for me. They should scrap the sport and combine with the NBA D league or something.

Come on, gotta love March Madness

Used to.

CBB is trash now when you watch so much NBA. I will watch the final 4 most likely though.

Gonzaga over UNC

- Belmont, St. Mary's as my 2 "upsets"... Belmont to the sweet 16.
- Nevada to bump Michigan this weekend.

I have all 3 the same

Hate that Nevada plays UF tho, but they are certainly way better than the seed

my only first round 'upsets' i have are Belmont, Murray St (don't like this one as Marquette at their best is really good and Ja kinda forces more than i like, but didn't want to be too chalky), St Mary's

sweet 16 'upsets' i have Belmont, Nevada, Iowa St

I think Florida beats Nevada. I loved them coming in to the season but they didn’t do it for me.

I also have Belmont and Murray St advancing. My bracket is pretty chalky but I do have Buffalo in the elite 8

what about Nevada didn't you like?

they lost a couple head scratchers for sure but they are loaded and they are quite efficient. i like Florida and think they can certainly win the game, i hate that Nevada got matched with them, but i'm more worried about the Florida aspect of the game than Nevada themselves

Nevada faces the most zone defense of any team in the country so i think that helps them if they can get a game vs Michigan and michigan goes to the zone again like they do in tourney play quite a bit

vs Florida, i think the fact Nevada is so experienced will help them handle the press and Florida will likely play them man to man which i think helps Caleb Martin quite a bit. i'm also not sure Florida can score enough to keep up.

Dude... stop looking at my test!

I'm not on Murray St though... way to swap an answer so the teacher won't catch on.

I just thought they would look more dominant against that schedule. Their best win was Arizona St. I know teams have bad games but losing by 28 to New Mexico St is just unexplainable. They made a living this year on getting down and mounting these 2nd half comebacks and the competition was not strong.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they made a nice run as they have veteran talent but I think Florida will make it a defensive type game that they prefer and if they can make some 3s (big if with them) I expect them to win.

i would feel alot better about the loss if it was to New Mex St, it was actually to lowly New Mexico... lol. they avenged that loss and beat them by 30 next time. Same thing with their loss to SDSU, they beat them by 30 next time they played even tho SDSU got them later in the conference tourney.

besides that they didn't play a very difficult schedule but they took care of business.

i agree with you on the Florida game analysis. the game scares the shit out of me and is the game i'm most looking forward to in round 1, i just think Nevada is talented enough to make a deep run and Florida style of play isn't enough to take me off them

I hate Florida so I will be happy to be wrong lol. Coming in to the year I was all in on the Muss Bus and thought Nevada was a dark horse final four team. They still have the talent and I'd love to see a run from them.

I definitely think its the best round 1 game along with Marquette/Murray St although that one may be more for NBA prospect purposes

I've seen a lot of highlights of Morant this year and watched their conference championship game. Morant has some unreal handles.

I wish he would shoot more though

Only saw him in the conference tournament final and he was forcing it a ton and had a lot of turnovers/questionable decisions but a lot of that may be due to his teammates abilities or lack thereof. His quickness is unreal though

That LH white boy on Belmont just shot 3 atrocious threes in a row when they were up 7 and shot Maryland back in the game. I know he is their guy and was hot but Jesus buddy

Dave, you're terrible at this.
