March Madness - predictions and thoughts?

[BigSkySmoke]

Anyone have any predictions or hopes for the tournament?

Our whole family are Gonzaga fanatics and can't wait to see how this season plays out...

Not a prediction but my daughter goes to Seton Hall so I'm pulling for them. LOL
But I would put money on Villanova again

Their buzzer beater last year was amazing. That game was a blast to watch...I was secretly hoping they would pull it off.

Was never a basketball fan but since my daughter started attending Seton Hall my whole family follows it now and watches March Madness. LOL. That was the best basketball game I've watched

We are all born and raised KU Jayhawks in my family. Hopefully they can add to their title number this year. Winning at Kentucky last night showed me a lot.

I love NCAA basketball, but can't stand NBA. When the posturing and grandstanding takes away from the game, I simply can't watch and enjoy it at all...

So true

My daughter is an athlete at Seton Hall and I know how difficult it is to do both. Although, in reality, the athletes that bring the big $$$ into these schools whether it's basketball, football, etc... get preferential treatment. They have people there just to do some of these athletes homework

 

[wantacigar]

There are some that do the work and some that don't. The athletes for the other sports that are not the money sports don't get the same treatment and really have to do both.

Sadly the NFL is getting this way for me. I absolutely love the games, but the dancing after every TD is fucking mind-numbing. Expecially when the player has played like shit for half the season and then finally makes a catch during week 7 and suddenly he's a superstar.

I've been really enjoying watching them play this year...I'm hoping this tournament really shows what some of these teams are capable of this year outside of the conferences.

GU got rated #1! Granted this really means nothing , but going into February as a #1 seed is still awesome. BYU is definitely one of those teams that make them work for it.

Gonzaga and Northwestern!!!

That game against Vanderbilt was insane! I still can't believe that ridiculous foul from Vanderbilt.
