2023 NCAA March Madness!

I was going to wait for @MacNut to post the thread, but I got antsy and pulled the trigger. Still working on my brackets, though.

TEXAS!

And North Carolina skipping the NIT...weeeak. Bunch of crybabies.

 

[MacNut]

Sorry, was going to post it yesterday.

Sorry, was going to post it yesterday.

Didn't mean to steal your thunder - I'm just excited that Texas is a 2 seed!

Hook'em!

 

[MacNut]

Virginia goes down in flames again.

 

[ucfgrad93]

Arizona goes down as well.

Arizona goes down as well.

Oooof....that one hurt.

 

[Silencio]

This is the second time I can recall #2 Arizona losing to a #15. The last time, they lost to Santa Clara, whose point guard was a young Steve Nash.

I don't have any strong rooting interests this year. If Saint Mary's could have a good run, I'd appreciate it.

 

[MacNut]

History again!

 

[ucfgrad93]

Madness strikes again! Only the second time in the NCAA tourney a #1 seed lost in the opening round.

Buh-bye Purdue!

 

[Gregg2]

One side of my bracket is toast! I had Arizona and Purdue in the Final Four.

 

[Rafterman]

Houston is my champion, so I'm still alive. But otherwise, it's been a disaster. I won my pool last year, but this year, it looks like from first to worst.

 

[dmr727]

It's definitely been entertaining. We'll see if Texas can actually get out of the second round this year.

 

[Herdfan]

And down goes Duke. To bad, not sad.

 

[ucfgrad93]

Another #1 bites the dust!

Adios, Kansas!

 

[Herdfan]

And a #15 is in the sweet 16.

Princeton 78
Missouri 63

 

[dukebound85]

let's go Auburn!

Let's go Penn State!

 

[MacNut]

let's go Auburn!

Let's go Penn State!

Sadily they seem to be turning into pumpkins.

 

[Rafterman]

This year is brutal.

 

[TechRunner]

This is the first year in a very long time I didn't do a bracket, but given my usual pattern of choices, I'd be toast by now.

 

[dmr727]

I feel like there's more parity every year, which is fun to watch.

 

[MacNut]

There was no standout team this year.

 

[Herdfan]

I feel like there's more parity every year, which is fun to watch.

At some point I think there will be a team from a small college comprised of 4-5th year seniors who have played together for years and work as a team, will win it all.

And it might come from the ranks of HBC's.

 

[dmr727]

The Big 12 is fizzling out, but Texas is in the Sweet 16! Next up is Xavier on Friday. 💪

Not exactly March Madness, but Rick Pitino has been hired as the coach at St. John's.
