NCAA Basketball: March Madness 2022

anybody watching?

 

[Todd Anderson]

I am... LOVED watching UK go down in flames last night (sorry Wildcat fans, but it's great to see the big boys fall to the little boys!). UCONN also got a rude awakening.

This is sizing up to be a fun tournament!

Go to love the madness!

Geez. And I thought we were friends.

So now I’m committing heresy and rooting for Duke. Coach K has earned this UK fan’s respect.
Christian Laettner , on the other hand, can never be forgiven.

 

[Todd Anderson]

That Laettner shot is going to leave painful wounds for life... one of the great games, tho.

I think UNC upsets Baylor today!

I think UNC upsets Baylor today!

You'll be correct if it's the UNC that showed up against Duke for the final game of the season and not the UNC that played Virgina Tech in the ACC semi-final. Personally, I'd also prefer the former.

How right you are.

Let me know if you’re ever in need of one. I’ve got extras!

The SEC sure underwhelmed this year!!! Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky all O-U-T out!

@thrillcat , Iowa State has a good shot at the Elite 8. Good luck!

From 2 wins last year to 2 TOURNAMENT wins this year is a pretty solid turnaround.

What a great tourney this has been...

How about that 'Zona guy's dunk against TCU??? That might be the best sounding dunk EVER!

What a game! Kudos to UNC for hanging in there. They basically did it with a rotation of one off the bench. Too bad they couldn't hang on for the W.
