And here we are.

Thank you very much for the laugh. I needed that to settle my fear for what I believe Kansas is going to do to the Ducks.

 

[scoobs]

Pretty fantastic picture of the LeGerald Vick 360 dunk. Just pick random people in the crowd/bench and enjoy the reactions. I'm particularly fond of Tyler Self's little leg kick. He's just precious.

 

[Kevtones]

Damn @ Trier.

That finish. That 3. Damn. 15 points in a row.






Love this Xavier team though. JP Macura is butter. If they hadn't lost their best player and their 3rd best player... Wow.

 

[Kevtones]

This is a pretty GREAT game right now. Where is everyone?

 

[metalslimer]

That was a great xavier run

 

[lt519]

These stoppages have been out of control tonight.

Kansas looks so much better then every other team right now.

Great game, pulling for Xavier.

 

[ryseing]

This is a pretty GREAT game right now. Where is everyone?

Nearly 1 AM on the East Coast.

 

[Mik317]

fuck my bracket but this shit is lit

 

[metalslimer]

Wow

 

[bgbball31]

WOW! What a game. And look, Zona went into that final possession without a TO...

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Wow

Between this and the Cubs, it's good to be Bill Murray.

 

[Kevtones]

Arizona been suspect for a bit. They never quite made sense this year (all their pieces). They played way too many close games against inferior competition and never really had the look of a great team.

Great talent? Yes. Great coach? Ehhh. Great team? Not even.




Pac 12 goes to 9-2.




Xavier is the story of this tourney.

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

WOW! What a game. And look, Zona went into that final possession without a TO...

It's been a running theme in the tourney so far.

 

[metalslimer]

WOW! What a game. And look, Zona went into that final possession without a TO...

And took another bad 3. This shit has killed at least 5 or 6 teams now

The players without a TO lose their shit

 

[Proelite]

Arizona don't get to play in Phoenix.

 

[Mrbob]

One side of the bracket is complete destruction i love it. Zags suck too Xavier going to final four.

 

[ryseing]

Oh hey. Sean Miller STILL hasn't gone to a Final Four.

Congrats Xavier.

 

[spyder_ur]

Amazing performance by Xavier. They got a ton of production from a bunch of different guys. Thought they were done when they went down 8. Bluitt was spectacular.

I have to say it though - yet another game where a team has a crucial possession, doesn't call TO (didn't catch if AZ had one there), and the result is a mediocre at best shot.

 

[scoobs]

Wow, Arizona ... you gotta win that game. I don't know why I pick them to reach the FF every damn year.

 

[Kevtones]

Arizona don't get to play in Phoenix.

They have the easiest bracket and are only there because Boucher got hurt for Oregon. Oregon throttled them by 28 (more like 48 if we're being real) when healthy.




The Gonzaga/Xavier winner plays the East bracket winner, which at best is… Baylor? Jesus.

 

[metalslimer]

It's definitely feeling like Kansas is the only dominant force left

 

[neurosisxeno]

It's definitely feeling like Kansas is the only dominant force left

Too early to say. UNC, UCLA, and Kentucky are still in it, but Kansas is the only team that blew their opponents out in the S16 so far. It's a good time to be a Jayhawks fan

 

[ryseing]

The Cocks resent that remark.

 

[scoobs]

UNC, UCLA, Kentucky, KU, and Gonzaga (maybe?) are all still capable of winning this thing. Kansas probably the biggest lock for the FF though, playing what is essentially a home game against Oregon Saturday.

 

[watdaeff4]

Kansas is probably the best team left but all it takes is one bad night or one great performance by whoever they play.

The tourney is fun for the excitement and drama but a poor way of determining a champion

Its actually pretty rare that the "best" team actually wins. It is usually one of the top 10ish teams though, but still... as a Kansas fan, we have certainly failed to win a number of times when we felt we had the best squad in the country.

March is a stressful time, but its definitely fun

 

[mreddie]

And Tucson fucked up my bracket

 

[grandjedi6]

Those three will take each other out though so Kansas really just has to worry about their Final Four match against the survivor amongst them.

 

[watdaeff4]

Yep.

If Kansas beats Oregon, it actually works in Kansas' favor to play whoever wins the South in the Semi-Finals as Bill Self does a much better job in the tourney preparing his team with the week to do so than the 2nd game of the weekend when he has only 48 hours.

The right side of the bracket is brutal.

The left side we are going to have one of Wisconsin, Gonzaga, Xavier, Baylor, South Carolina or an injured Florida playing for the title.

 

[RecRoulette]

Damn, Xavier pulled it off? The left side of my bracket is a wasteland. Rooting for a Florida vs South Carolina Elite 8 matchup

About 13 hours until the UK/UCLA tip off, gonna be a long day.

 

[Deleted member 752119]

Man, waking up and seeing that Xavier win makes WVU's loss sting even more as I'd have liked our chances against them where as Arizona would have been a bad matchup.

 

[Fjordson]

Can't believe Arizona missed another final four. Thought they would do it this year.

 

[RecRoulette]

OH RIGHT, South Carolina is still alive.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Let's get hype for Final 4 i mean sweet 16

 

[nillapuddin]

Let's get hype for Final 4 i mean sweet 16

no lies detected

 

[Proelite]

I should put money on UNC while I can.

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Thought Butler would put up a better fight.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I should put money on UNC while I can.

Roy lays down for Kansas so that's what I'm banking on if both teams get to that point.

Otherwise...Carolina's winning the title fml

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Heels brought their A-game tonight.

 

[SwordStruck]

Holy shit this South Carolina game.

 

[iamblades]

Holy shit this South Carolina game.

I still don't know how we managed to get 85 points vs that defense.

 

[metalslimer]

Guess we were due for shit games after yesterday

 

[boxter432]

Man the right half of the bracket is so loaded and so much stronger than the left.

Ucla UK and UNC region is ridiculous. Then KU is on that half forcing a potential semifinal game having the two best remaining teams.

 

[Arkos]

Bahaha that BU kid picking his nose.

 

[undrtakr900]

Hey is there anyway to watch the UCLA game on Roku or Console? The March Madness App says all CBS content is blocked...

PS Vue if you want to get a free trial

 

[Grover Cleveland]

At least South Carolina proving they weren't a fluke makes me feel better about Duke shitting the bed.

Or maybe Baylor's the fluke I dunno

 

[undrtakr900]

PS Vue if you want to get a free trial

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't want to sign up for a subscription. Know any free apps that broadcast it? I tried CBS Sports App and they don't even have a "live" section 😳

 

[boxter432]

OTA?

 

[RecRoulette]

Damn, South Carolina. Good shit Gamecocks.

Edit: Was hoping Butler would knock off UNC, but shit even giving them a fight would be better than this. Whoever survives between UCLA and UK is in for a rough time.
