2017 March Madness Tournament Thread

Oh my bracket right now and I haven't even filled it out yet.

[Ryno6284 3,721]

Just sucks as a 36 yr old and not seeing IU in the tourney, AGAIN!  Growing up, it was a never a question of if, but who, when, and where on this day!  Definitely a sad day to be a HOOSIER!  We are fading into obscurity!

[BlueDevil 9,359]

Interested to see who comes out of the west. Never ever put stock in Gonzaga and annual choke artist Sean Miller as the 1 and 2. Expect someone other than those 2 in the final four.

The wife and I will be heading to Dayton to watch the First 4 games on Tuesday. Why some might ask. Because I have been live to every round of the tournament including a final 4 and championship besides the first 4 so now I can check this off my list

ESPN's riding the 'Why no Cuse?' express all night long.

Boeheim is one of the most overrated coaches of all time. Seems like they are on the bubble every year.

Except when we play them under CTC!

Oh Man, dudes in Madison Wisconsin are blowing up over being seeded below Minnesota. UW whooped them twice.

My sleeper pick, SMU!

[LIHoosier 27,381]

It'd be cool if the bracket challenge or another site implemented a seed multiplier. That would make for some interesting brackets and strategy.

[LIHoosier 27,381]

Cool moment between Doug and Chris Collins on ESPN.

And BBN will be invading our home turf (Indy) again.

Got to work this morning and all I have heard is how pUKe has been screwed over again on their position in the bracket. I know that the IU fanbase is on the verge of an utter meltdown due to our current state, but it is comical that pUKe fans are in an uproar about who they have to play to make it through the tournament. If you think you are the best and think that you should have a cake walk to the NC game, boy I feel sorry for you. Ha who am I kidding, I don't feel sorry for them at all. The committee could put pUKe in a bracket with Duke, UNo Classes, Prostitute U, Kansas, Oregon, Zags, and Villanova, and I would still laugh!

UCLA got screwed. Lol.

Cincinnati in the round of 32?

No thanks.

If IU was a 3 seed and had that matchup we'd be crying crocodile tears.

But if UCLA loses that game, it's because Alford sucks, right?

Cheering for (in this order): Gonzaga, Butler, UCLA, all four 16 seeds

Maybe some cried crocodile tears last year when we played Kentucky in 2nd and that went ok. Sooner or later you are going to have to beat good teams to advance. Who's to say Cincy or UCLA will even face each other. If UCLA loses it won't be because he sucks it will just mean on that given day they lost. As bill self said today in an interview every coach thinks they get screwed when the bracket first comes out

I agree. We did get screwed last year with our seed and UK. But yeah, post season is a lot of luck. I put more stock in regular season consistency than post season successes. If you are a 1-4 seed every year then you will eventually have post season success.

Last year proved that the NCAA committee cares more about matchups based on wow factor than seeding teams correctly. There was no way we should've matched up with UK that early.

Then getting the beast that was UNC as our 1 as well.
