KCU is one.

I hope you're right. But gun to my head, I've got Great Crossing.

How big is Aden Barnett?

I'd like to see the Barnett kid play. He's had a solid first half.

Both teams shooting pretty well early.

Wow

It's uncanny how awful they can be.

Virginia is embarrassing.

I hate it because I really like Tony Bennett. But his brand of basketball is excruciating to watch.

Second game has been dreadful. Virginia torched the nets for 14 first half points.

Hate that for the kid.

Pretty fun start to the tournament.

Final from Dayton.

You'd run faster if Cal would start Sheppard.

Fun player to watch and very deserving of Mr. Basketball.

Just for the heck of it, I want to see the four guards and Thiero start.

If Sheppard would have started every game this season, we would have won every game last year too. Keith Bogans wouldn't have hurt his ankle, Pelphrey would have intercepted Grant Hill's pass to Laettner, & the air express package would have remained sealed.

https://247sports.com/article/the-profile-of-an-ncaa-tournament-champion-51629473/ That’s not to say that just anybody can win it though. The worst team by comparison to its peers to win it all since 2002 was UConn in 2014, a team that was ranked 25th in KenPom heading into the NCAA Tournament. And only three times since 2002 has a team not ranked in KenPom’s top 6 won it all: 2003 Syracuse (20th) and UConn in 2011 (16th) and 2014 (25th). So if somebody gives you a pick of KenPom’s top six teams or the field, most years it’s probably a pretty solid bet to take the top 6.

2002 - Maryland (#3) 2003 - Syracuse (#20) 2004 - Connecticut (#5) 2005 - North Carolina (#2) 2006 - Florida (#6) 2007 - Florida (#2) 2008 - Kansas (#1) 2009 - North Carolina (#3) 2010 - Duke (#2) 2011 - Connecticut (#16) 2012 - Kentucky (#1) 2013 - Louisville (#2) 2014 - Connecticut (#25) 2015 - Duke (#6) 2016 - Villanova (#5) 2017 - North Carolina (#3) 2018 - Villanova (#2) 2019 - Virginia (#1) 2021 - Baylor (#2) 2022 - Kansas (#3) 2023 - Connecticut (#4)

I've got: Connecticut vs. North Carolina Houston vs. Creighton North Carolina defeating Houston for the title. It was seriously painful to predict that. What say you?

The final rankings entering the tournament: 1. Connecticut 2. Houston 3. Purdue 4. Auburn 5. Iowa State 6. Arizona - Again, 18 of the last 21 NCAA Champions were ranked in the Top 6 of KenPom entering the tournament.

I don't get the reaction to UK's bracket at all. Especially with the way the team has performed this year. I have them bowing out to Marquette in the Sweet 16.

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