Thursday and Friday games were not very exciting or compelling... Saturday and Sunday were outstanding! Villanova out?? Duke Out? Not really surprised by Florida State getting beat but not they way they did...
Hows you bracket and who is going on??
This weekend was great. Couldn't believe that Wichita State / Kentucky game. Noticed, this morning, that Florida's tipoff on Friday isn't till 10pm. Really??
ACC is getting no love today...lol
I'd imagine so. 9 teams down to 1 after the opening rounds. Overrated
ESPN is reporting that out of some 16 million brackets submitted, only 18 are left today!
The largest filter was Duke losing to South Carolina. After that Xavier.
My Final Four is still alive...but barely...Florida, Gonzaga, North Carolina, and Michigan. 8)

Hopefully you filled out ESPNs bracket... you would be one of the 18 left... Good luck!

Not exactly. The 18 people are those that picked all 16 of the sweet 16 teams.
Unless FlaBoy somehow got the other 12 teams as well...which would be a SERIOUS accomplishment

Yeah lol. I missed day 1.
I'm at the 57% level on ESPN's bracket challenge. I have 11 of my Sweet 16 still alive and 3 of my Final Four (Florida, Gonzaga, and Kentucky). Iowa State was my miss [so far] on the Final Four (they came close; I had also picked Vermont to upset Purdue in the first round & lose to ISU).
Interesting article about re seeding the Sweet 16... Also... Is South Carolina a "Cinderella"?

SC looks like the Cinderella team of the tourney so far.
I am so proud of my Gators for making it to the Sweet 16, especially when a lot of people said we were overrated and would loose in the first round.
RIP to FSU and Miami yall had a good run ;D ;D ;D ;D
We are playing like a 1-seed. Maybe they'll figure that out when we beat Wisconsin.

Let me start by saying I freeking HATE the late start times... argh.... >:(
The Xavier win was a definite upset of Arizona... but the crushing of Purdue was the biggest surprise from last nights games. I knew Kansas was good and was a good bet to win it all but to embarrass a very good Purdue team was unexpected...
Yea the start times suck balls. That Xavier win was like WOW; and I have to agree with Bridge on the Kansas win, did Purdue not show up or was Kansas that good?
Florida is a slight favorite tonight...

Interesting weekend and some epic games. Of course Floridas buzzer beater was the most exciting. An extreme west coast vs extreme east coast... NW vs SE
I don't know about yall, but I'm rooting for the Carowinds championship; North Carolina vs South Carolina. :)
I got the Zags, they look like they are indestructible.

When you were around 12, I'm guessing.
Did he offer you any jesus juice?
"Never have I let out as loud a joyous WHOOP at 1 AM as I did when Chiozza hit that 3. Holy shit that was amazing."
UF is a pretty good baseball, golf and basketball school.
But they are years away from actually winning an SEC Championship in Football. Honestly cannot see it in the foreseeable future.
Gonzaga moves on to the title game!! The SC Cinderella story ends... great game. Can only hope NC vs Oregon is as good...
