NCAA Tourney Thread

Not basketball related, but why are they making all the cheerleaders wear masks? Can’t we just be done with the Covid theater?
 
All power 5 conferences for the top 16 seeds except, Gonzaga (obviously) Villanova and Providence both Big Least teams.

GO TU!!!
Providence is a really good experienced team. One of the things you enjoy when you don't get the one and done players. Ed Cooley is a great coach as well.
 
Apparently, ankles are not healthy today. three players have had injuries in these two games and only one has returned.
 
I prayed to God this morning that the Big 10 will lay a goose egg today.

Sweet baby Jesus.... C'mon!!!!!
 
Wisconsin is yet another overrated and over seeded Big Ten team. They were given a 3 seed and were placed in Milwaukee! They struggle to beat 14 seed Colgate & then lose to 11 seed Iowa State.
 
SMU was the only team to make the NIT and they lost today in the second round (Group of 16) to Washington State.
 
The only place the SMU ‘news’ was announced was on Twitter. We all know how reliable that can be.

The UNT coach is not an upgrade. He’d last a couple of years before he’s canned.

B1G was way over rated and they don't play an entertaining style of basketball save for Purdue. The SEC was over-rated by the committee too. This is what happens when you build in a perception bias before the season starts and then when teams in conference start beating each other they call it parity. Sure, all the teams are evenly matched but its because they're all mediocre, not because they're all good. This year more than any other I can remember, there is a ton of parity and no clear cut favorite. It's all about who is playing well and who is hot. Right now Gonzaga, Purdue, Texas Tech, Miami, Arizona seem to be those hot teams...they also get after it defensively AND they all have major rim protectors (Tech doesn't but their defense is so good without it).

The two "sleepers"...Providence and North Carolina
 
The bad thing about tonight’s games is that the CBS game audio is awful and unlistenable. TBS is just fine, so I’m watching the cats and kitty.
 
That’s the one. Gonzaga is fun to say, but their mid-major schedule doesn’t really prepare them to win 6 when it matters.
