Well, I go to Creighton, so I guess I have to pick them to win it all.

As a Jayhawk I definitely want KU to take it all again this year, but their performance this season has been spotty. Last game the coach was unable to be present and it really showed.

KU fan also. Bill Self is back, so hopefully they can start playing better. The Kansas/Texas game was horrible. Jalen Wilson was the only one playing good scoring half the points.

I'd be confident to pick my Bruins to win it all if 2 of our starters weren't hurt

It is unfortunate that there are so many teams and it is impossible to have a multi-game series.  Then again, it is nice that so many schools get to play in the tournament and bring some non-scholastic excitement to school.

Player injuries, "off nights," and the luck of the draw make March one hell of a roller coaster.  Then again, sometimes a team will make a comeback against all the odds and make history.  The last championship was absolutely wild and is worth a re-watch.  I can promise you that if you have the opportunity to go to a game at Allen Field House, you will have the best time. Okay, I'll get off my soap box...

I'll post my bracket once I get it filled out.

Quite possibly the hardest thing to pick… and the BEST when the underdogs win. Always love seeing the smaller schools advance. But Go coogs

Purdue in the finals, I like it!  So I went ahead and picked Kansas over Purdue.

Sounds legit. Major props to you for pursuing PA. Can only imagine how difficult & time consuming. I’m in nursing school right now & can barely hang. Also Go Aztecs & Gauchos , hope they cause chaos in the bracket this year

I picked the zags just because they were a 3 seed.

But I have a bad feeling Bama will shoot their way to a NC.

Virginia had a timeout not sure what happened at the end of that ball game… Furman nails the dagger 3 off the turnover. Classic March madness…

Who woulda guessed Princeton had a squad..

I can’t imagine anyone’s bracket picked Virginia/AZ to lose lol Virginia i guess i could see. They’ve been on the shitty end of upsets before.

played against the dude who turned the ball over in High School. he's been their PG for 5 years... can't believe he made such a boneheaded play. could've called timeout or waited to be fouled, they had all the leverage. instead he hucked it up for the L. tuff

I made a bracket on the site and I appreciate how they provide percentile rankings. But yeah... I didn't anticipate Arizona and Purdue going down.

Man that FDU thing is wild. The odds of them winning that game were worse than the odds for Purdue to win the whole tournament. I hope they can keep it up rather than it being a one-off like that school from Baltimore a few years back.

Pitt won their game and looked pretty good doing it...they didn't score a ton of points but played really solid team D and wore ISU down. I try to never get my hopes up too much with them but I have to imagine Oakland is going to be in full on zoo mode so it's gonna be hard not to get at least somewhat hyped up for it.

My favorite thing about March madness the upsets. Now I’m pretty invested…

I don’t watch enough college hoops to wanna lay money down tho… but a 16 beating a 1 makes me want to lol

Houston is playing auburn IN Alabama. Sasser is supposedly playing… do it for coach Kelvin.

I had Virginia and Purdue in my Final Four but enjoy the underdog/upset wins more than having a accurate bracket. Still hope UConn wins it all tho

Purdue gets beat. Now Kansas (who I had winning it all) just lost.  I’m renaming it March sadness.

The KU Arkansas game was absolute bullshit. I knew it was going to Arkansas after almost every single play during the later part of the 1st half was a foul on nearly every single KU possession which then carried on to the second half.

Last nights games wow! Florida Atlantic taking out Tennessee is why I love March Madness.

Wow...Crazy game between SDSU & Alabama. Well deserved - congrats to all the SDSU fans. Love to see it.
Looking like Houston is going down too. Two #1 seeds out in the span of an hour. Madness indeed

been a mad march, that's for sure! No 1 seeds in the Elite 8 is pretty sick, even if it means absolutely busting my bracket.

also, as a lifelong UCLA fan, that game last night ripped my heart out, replaced it, then ripped it out again just for shits and giggles. hurts to think about what this March could've been if we weren't missing 2 starters. think we'd be hanging banner #12 if we had a healthy squad.

I’m so bummed…. Coogs looked outclassed. Weren’t getting back on defense. Taking HORRIBLE 3 point shots…

March madness will break your heart. But it’s so damn fun.

I am so happy K-State lost. I am not from Kansas, just went to school there, and there is an in-state rivalry between the two schools. Their fans are insufferable and I'll get a whole lotta schadenfreude out of their loss.
