Well it looks like the NCAA on CBS will be without both Greg Gumble and Jim Nantz.

Jim Nantz said he wasn't doing anymore March Madness in order to focus on the Masters. I was bummed.

Every analyst seems to be picking UConn.  Makes me pretty confident it doesn't end up them. 

Crap.  That's who I was going to pick.

Kentucky has a pretty easy path to the Elite 8. Post COVID tournament history isn’t allowing my to look past Oakland.

Definitely can't look past Oakland.

Not sure how hot of take this is, but the women’s tournament is much more compelling than the men’s.

I'd say it's pretty hot.

Hot take...McNeese State and Samford battle to see who goes to the Sweet 16!

I'm probably gonna lose some money betting on Miss St to beat Mich St.

The women’s tournament should be very good.

I thought they'd try and push Iowa through to Cleveland to try and ride Caitlin momentum and up the viewership of the Women's Final 4, but they did not.   Iowa, UCLA, LSU and K-State are the top 4 in that regional.   That's a gauntlet.

Just saw the NIT bracket and St. Johns, Indiana, Ole Miss, Pitt, Oklahoma, and Washington all declined to play in the NIT.

Very happy with the bracket for UK. I know I mentioned in the thread after the loss to A&M that they would probably be a 4 seed, with an outside chance to be a 3 seed still since everyone else was also losing. So I feel like UK is right where they should be, now it is about going out there and taking care of business.

Yeah those odds it’s impossible to pass up.

Saw a clip where Tom Crean was lighting coaches up for refusing to play in the NIT.

Saw that. I wonder if it was partly due to his former employer bypassing the invite so it was his chance to fire back at them. It is easy to take shots from the cheap seats. I do not support it, but I get it because the transfer portal opens today and procuring talent for next year's squad is much more important than playing an NIT game.
