I'm going with KU-
So is everyone and everything else going with Kansas.
I wouldn't mind seeing KU, MSU, UNC, VA and a few other leave the dance early (like sweet 16 or elite 8 rounds)
I would think out of the box.
Buddy Hield from OK is a fun player to watch. There are other strong #2 seeds too like WV and Villanova and Xavier.
hopefully it will be a good tourney.
OK. I'm in!
Boiler Up!

Robert- If I Knew the outcome of all the upsets....I'd have considerably more money and probably not be hanging out here too much... 🙂 Anyway- there WILL be some underdogs who show up with passion and break portions of the brackets- in the end they'll have a difficult time overcoming the MACHINE that is some of the No. 1 seeds.
and like you said hopefully it will be a great tournament.
Still got 2 days to get your bracket in.....
TTT

Yes sir...anything can happen in these times.
I am going with OK vs WV in the final with OK the winner by 8pts. Crazy
I haven't seen very much NCAA basketball this year but did see the Buddy H. guy play lights out versus someone. He is electric. Reminds me of as 6'4" Calvin Murphy.
I don't have a 1 seed in the final 4..three 2's and one 3.
I will be pulling for Seton Hall to get out of the first round versus the Zags..but I wouldn't bet on it or any of it.
Fairleigh Dickinson U was eliminated last night. Another collegiate institution that I passed through their doors for 2 semesters back in the "stone age'.

Congrats. That was a ridiculous 3 LR hit to put the game in OT.

My Cats were thrashed last night by a very improperly ranked team. It's really too bad that they can't get the rankings correct after all these years...
YOWZER- Villanova put it on Oklahoma!
The Atlantic Coast Conference has been unbelievable this year. Heck, Villanova won the Big 12 and isn't even a member of that conference.
That was one hell of a spanking OU took, for sure. And we even set an NCAA Finals Record!...Nobody has ever been whipped that bad in the finals...
I feel bad for the team. They fought hard to get into the final 4...but Villanova showed them the "what for".
Good season guys. BOOMER!
I'll even go so far as to brag on my fellow K-Stater, Lon Kruger (OU's coach), taking his second school to a Final Four. He was there with Florida several years back. I remember Lon during his playing days on some very strong KSU teams. During his Freshman year they made it to the Sweet Sixteen. During his Junior and Senior years they made it into the Elite Eight. His little hometown is Silver Lake, Kansas which is a hop, skip and a jump from Topeka. Silver Lake is traditionally a top athletic school in most high school sports, both boys and girls divisions. The extended Kruger family has had quite a number of outstanding athletes at Silver Lake.
The two teams headed for the final game certainly appeared to have held something back to ensure their being on the final court.
My ESPN bracket has been broken, On CBS I have Villanova in the final game picked to lose.......
Being that this is the only NCAA BB game that I watch all year long, I certainly am looking forward to a buzzer to buzzer battle.
