Well, we’re done. Had every chance at the end to make something happen but, kind of par for the course this year.

And so here we go.

Probably the craziest first weekend of the tournament I ever remember.

A bunch of blow outs, and bunch of close games you wouldn’t expect, and a lot of upsets.

Number 1 overall Virginia loses to a 16.

The long time “best all around team” in Michigan State loses at the end to Syracuse.

A lot of brackets are screwed. All of my basketball guru friends (including two that played college ball and are coaches now) picked Michigan State to win it all, and they didn’t even make it out of the opening weekend.



Danny is sitting here watching NASCAR at Fontana, enjoying nice weather before deadly tornado weather hits north Alabama, because despite his butchered bracket, North Carolina and Kansas are still in it (so my finals pairing is alive).



Who do you guys have going to the finals? How do your brackets look?



And yes...DannyGator himself is starting a basketball thread. I hope your affairs are in order, because the End Times are near.

Auburn is already down double digits against Clemson.

Won’t be surprised to see UMBC upset Kansas State tonight....that’s the way this tournament is going.
 
Danny is speaking in 3rd person now too. So Sad. I’m in 4 brackets. I have Nova winning in 2 and Duke in the other 2.

Stay safe with the weather.

This is the first year I didn’t make an “upset bracket,” and I regret it now.

And thanks. Tornados be crazy in these parts this time of year.
 
SEC has proven it is a very deep conference, but not elite. 8 teams in and only 2 make it to the Sweet 16. Conference co-champ Auburn got blown out by Clemson and the other co-champ Tennessee and 3rd place finisher Florida both lost their 2nd game. Only Kentucky & Texas A & M are left. Kentucky's path has been cleared and I expect them to make it to the Final 4. A & M looked great beating the Tar Heels and could make a run.

FSU has athletes all over the court and have had for years. Their problem in the past has been playing under control and making shots when they needed to. This year's team is playing great defense, not turning it over as much and hitting big shots.
