    Those who had either  Kentucky or Cincinnati to come out of that bracket are pretty happy at this point.

    Oh you mean "Cincinnati all the way Zombo"?

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

  • Purdue's center has a broken elbow but still might play in the next game? They could really use him but whoa.

  • Looks like the BUCKEYES just got ZAGED, but it was an interesting second half.

  • Very...

    Meanwhile Big Blue almost made me a disinterested spectator.... my wife's Alma Mater gave them more than they could handle.

    It was really really hard to not openly pull for "the other team"...

    But, yes, a sizeable cheer slipped out when the final shot bottomed out... oops!

    You rang??? 😉

    At this point there are no winners... only a survivor. Never seen anything close to the 2018 bracket carnage.

    What you didn't like my Aggies blowing out #2 seed North Carolina in Charlotte? They were en fuego as they say in Spain.

    I've been doing this for awhile and have never seen anything like 2018 and that's just getting to the Sweet 16......amazing.

    First... best Seinfeld episode ever.

    I was watching Cinci game. When it and the other late game were well in hand, I got bored and switched to do a little gaming. lol

    And it will be the lowest rated March Madness ever. Even Villanova needs to win.

    Who gives a shite about ratings?  Only the networks so they can make money.  I am interested in competitive balance.   Having Purdue, Texas A&M, West Virginia and Gonzaga in the Final Four would be just as compelling as having those other boring teams in. 

    If Duke, Kansas, Kentucky are in it...I WON"T watch it..    But if those other teams are in...I will.   So much for your ratings theory.

  • March Madness. My second favorite event of year right after Beanie Baby collecting.

    It can be one of the most fun sports times of the year.....but as I have said, my interest in it has waned because of the Blue Blood hegemony in the sport....

    And as appears possible...this FBI investigation may in fact uncover evidence that those programs are Cheating to a vast extent.  If you don't think that Calipari, and Williams and Coach K are not handing 100K bills to recruits.... well, I think that anyone would be a pollyanna not to believe so.   Sean Miller and Pitino are certainly not aberrations. 

  • Further....I am all in favor of a change to the rules.   The one and done specifically.   Now, to be sure, this is not an NCAA rule, but an NBA/NBA players association rule.  They need to go to more of the system they have in baseball:

    If you want to go pro out of high school...then you should be able to.  Even if that means you go to the D League...or whatever their minor league is called.  Some kids just don't belong in college...including many of the top basketball players coming out of High School.

    BUT...if you do sign to play for a college...you are in it for a minimum 3 years.  As noted, they do this in baseball....and of course the NFL rule is this (except that football players have no minor league to go play in.....so they are stuck offering their talents to colleges).

    I watch virtually no hoops of any kind now except some lead in conference  championship games and of course the most unique tournament in all of sports MARCH MADNESS.

    Normally not nearly as wild as this year but definitely better than beanie babies or other stuffed animal collecting.
