2017 March Madness Tournament Thread

[Hoosiers High Life 278]

I got a couple sleepers
1. Nevada will likely go to the sweet sixteen and give Kansas all they can handle.
2. Rhode Island legit chance to upset Oregon and advance to sweet sixteen
3. Norte dame a legit chance to go to the final four looking for them to end the zags season


THIS IS INDIANA!!!!

It still annoys the piss out of me that there are three colors on the floor. Dark wood in the main part, light wood inside the arc, and just plain white in the paint. At least two years in a row of this nonsense and my eyes aren't happy about it.

I just liked when they had the court that was already on the floor. It really helped, you know, knowing where the game is being played. Also made the tourney have a unique feel than the sterile look these cookie cutter courts now have.

I like the game of squinting in the corner of the court to see which school/conference logo is down there showing where you are. I just noticed they even put an even smaller "Hosted By:" right above that logo.

Agree, but these are better than those scenic court designs that I've seen used by Oregon and others.  As a visiting player, I would think those scenic designs would be hard to adjust to from the perspective of always having the strong sense of where you were on the court.

Still haven't even looked at the official bracket.

Oregon would be terrible. I had never even thought about the court awareness aspect of that. No wonder they're so good at home.

No that actually makes me happy, our tank is going tremendous right now. I've been in a great mood with them especially with us firing our front office!

Tight game with 2 minutes left. Weren't you going to Dayton tonight or did you change to tomorrow with the IU NIT game?

[Hovadipo 52,911]

For anyone that cares, the Monmouth/Ole Miss NIT game has been back and forth all night. 60-56 Rebels.

Unfortunately our baby sitter fell through for today's game and we are going to try and go tomorrow if not tomorrow then I will have to wait until next year. I missed a good one live mount st Mary's moves on. Not sure why New Orleans coach didn't foul.

This will sound super not-picky, but does anyone else hate the nets in the Dayton arena? The ball doesnt "swish" through them

If you're gonna steal from the IU staff, at least have captions or a wacky graphic instead of an actual set.
