Carey March 27 Share March 27 Sucks about the players injury. All the best. Meanwhile, after a nice long break, back to March Madness. While my real bracket...well, I tore it despite the winner. The green bracket has been kind to me. However, I expect about a couple one seeds to fall before the weekend. Which is the norm most times (assuming they don't fall the weekend before). What will make that more probable than not is the teams remaining. No "Cinderella" this time Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12683-college-basketball/page/33/#findComment-8618956

Crashcourse March 29 Share March 29 Living on the east coast, there was a time when I could name every team in the Big East and ACC, then schools started switching to other conferences. Now, the transfer portal, has really spoiled college basketball for me, especially March Madness. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12683-college-basketball/page/33/#findComment-8620301
Carey March 30 Share March 30 While the following makes me a hypocrite, I'm not a fan of all the changes either. So many and in short order. I'll still hold to how I'd love to see a major change in the NFL (and in MLB) as it relates to franchises within divisions, conferences, and leagues. Change is inevitable. Probably no longer worth it to follow a school or even a player. Maybe for a year, but that's it. The only thing that doesn't really change is Blue Blood programs making it to End City 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12683-college-basketball/page/33/#findComment-8620688

Carey March 31 Share March 31 Amid the constant criticism toward the selection committee over the past couple of weeks, if not the past several years, I think it's fair enough to "respect" them this time around. There may have been questions in terms of the one seeds, and while it's fair enough... ...Saturday's Final Four will feature all four top seeds for the second time in 40 years. At the very least. Coincidentally enough, the last time that happened, the venue for the National Semis and the Tournament Final took place in San Antonio. Not only that, the dates on the calendar between 2008 and this season are a match. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12683-college-basketball/page/33/#findComment-8621647

Carey 2 hours ago Share 2 hours ago I'm not sure what's more depressing: having all 4 regional winners, or the fact that I still would've lost the contest had Auburn taken care of business against Florida. Speaking of Florida, I thought they were doomed (for the Tournament Final against what should have been Duke) after their upset, which really wasn't one. They beat the overall top seed, but they were actually favored. Meanwhile, Duke losing wasn't a shock but the way they did was. I figured that Houston's defense was legit enough to keep things interesting. So I thought Houston would win with a sprinkle of fortune within a close game. Nevertheless they can finally cash; I can see either team getting the job done. The 1.5 spread in favor of Florida coupled with an over/under of 140.5 sounds right. 124.5 would've been okay too TBH Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12683-college-basketball/page/33/#findComment-8629116
