One of the best draws we've had in a while.

Just looking at it and potential match ups should we advance, nothing really pops as unfair. I don't see any team that we couldn't handle if we're playing an A game.

I'd have to agree with it.

 

[fatguy87]

I am taking this one game at a time. We haven't earned looking ahead or thinking about our potential path due to our dismal tournament performance since 2019. I will root like heck for my team, game by game.

 

[bbncal02]

Everyone has their choices I guess but all time wins is least of my concerns. I hope slime bag Cal never ever wins another tournament game…..and he won’t if he actually does the stupidest thing possibly by playing Fland

Rooting for freaking Kansas is pretty repugnant.

 

[LmdCat]

I believe Florida wins it all.

 

[rick64]

JWILL, Seth and Bilas all picked the Gators to win it all. All had pretty much chalk in the E8.

 

[The_Answer1313]

That they didn't get in or that she married @The_Answer1313 ?

I guess there's two ways of thinking about that...lol

I mean I did a bracket and it's hard to not pick chalk. I feel like the auburn msu bracket might screw me. I don't trust michigan state or auburn.

Florida is my pick as well though.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Florida seems to be the trendy pick.

So they aren't winning it LOL

You are reading my mind.

Not saying it's gamblers but I've heard gamblers say that they love when someone is a big favorite.

Uconn was last year and won every game by double digits.

I agree that a lot of years the trendy pick doesn't win.

Sorry...just kidding.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Uconn was last year and won every game by double digits.

I agree that a lot of years the trendy pick doesn't win.

I feel like that year Uconn was a clear cut favorite.

This year I don't feel like one team has separated themselves............but rather like 5 lol. UF is one of them. But there's def others just as good if not better.

 

[crawfords corner]

Keshon Gilbert out of the tournament for Iowa State. Huge blow.

 

[U Go UK]

Didn’t Bilas elude the Butler was hurt which hurts our chances of going far? Did I hear that right?

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Keshon Gilbert out of the tournament for Iowa State. Huge blow.

I am guessing I need to pick ole miss to beat them now.

 

[Fox2monk]

Every single person on Bracket Matrix had them In.

EVERY SINGLE ONE lol. All 111 of them.

Yeah it’s a freaking joke. Even Indiana deserved it over UNC.

 

[Fox2monk]

Keshon Gilbert out of the tournament for Iowa State. Huge blow.

What happened to him? That sucks.

 

[crawfords corner]

What happened to him? That sucks.

I believe it is a groin injury

 

[yes_takeaside]

Damn we got burned with Tennessee. We all know what happens when we try and beat another SEC team for a 3rd time in the tournament 😔

Would you have preferred Bama?

 

[Aike]

Didn’t Bilas elude the Butler was hurt which hurts our chances of going far? Did I hear that right?

He said that. j-Will echoed it. Contrary to official reports. They probably just didn’t know, right guys? Since we’re so terrible that nobody pays attention to us.

They sure knew the injury status of Flagg, Fland, and the ISU guy though.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Would you have preferred Bama?

MSU/Stjohns probably would have been better.

We'd be underdogs in all of them tho.

 

[Aike]

MSU/Stjohns probably would have been better.

Yeah I definitely hoped we would get one of those two. Certainly can’t complain though.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Yeah I definitely hoped we would get one of those two. Certainly can’t complain though.

Yeah me neither. I think overall it was fair.

I think any of these 1s or 2s are going to be tough to beat. Hopefully we can make a run tho.

 

[crawfords corner]

Out of 32 mens and womens teams the SEC got 23 programs in the 2 tournaments. Impressive.

 

[yes_takeaside]

UConn was the trendy pick last year and they rolled to the title

 

[fatguy87]

Every single person on Bracket Matrix had them In.

EVERY SINGLE ONE lol. All 111 of them.

I suspect UNC's inclusion had something to do with their superior Net Ranking. They are over 15 spots above both IU and WVU. Xavier ranked higher, to a lesser degree, than IU and WVU as well.

 

[The_Answer1313]

UConn was the trendy pick last year and they rolled to the title

Again Uconn was a clear cut favorite to win the title.

On March 16th, only Houston was rated higher in Kenpom than Uconn and it wasn't by much.

This year you have many teams that are equally good at the top.
Florida is getting more love than those other teams when in actuality the odds should be balanced between say 5 teams.

 

[gharding07]

Would you have preferred Bama?

Without Nelson and we have Butler. Hell yeah.

 

[gharding07]

Wow.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Wow.

I tend to agree.

 

[KENTUCKY_FLYER]

Florida win it all, if not St John, if not then AU, if not then Duke.

 

[cats#1again]

Didn't UNC make last 4 in the year they made the run? If so they missed and last 4 in 3 times in Davis 5 years

 

[cats#1again]

Wow.

Michigan is good

 

[Blue_2_the_bone]

I could see them putting St Johns and Arkansas in the same bracket. Hell all three could end up in the same bracket
