March Madness

Bruce Baker · Mar 17, 2023

FDU was relentless going after loose balls and defending. And so quick.

Frickin Dickinson U…amazing!

RRSmith · Mar 17, 2023

Absolutely unbelievable… I’m fairly certain Zac Edey will be back next year for some unfinished business. Good luck to the rest of the Big Ten.

How embarrassing for Purdue. Second time in history. That squad will carry this loss for the rest of their lives.

Purdue has lost to #13 and #15 in last two years (I believe).

Coach Potter · Mar 17, 2023

Can Purdue do what Virginia did the year after it happened to them?

Coach Potter · Mar 17, 2023

Miami’s trying to lose as well.

I filled out a bracket which fairleigh was a waste of time. Purdue is now purdon't. I had them in the final losing to Kansas. Boink.

The Vols defense is smothering…

Canuck from Kansas · Mar 18, 2023

It's how they beat the Jayhawks before Christmas, just a swarming smothering defense.

Did I say Jayhawks?? Rock Chalk ...!!!

cheers

Razorbacks giving the Jayhawks everything they can handle…

You can never predict this …. It’s just pure luck if you do well (imho). Some teams are not the same teams at tournament time… some are hot others are cold, others bring back players from injuries and others lose players to injuries, some coaches do a helluva a job tinkering and coaching up players thru the season and some coaches remain stubborn. The one thing this tournament accomplishes unlike the ncaa football tournament is that the best team at the end of the year is the best team, regardless how their December was. It can reward teams that grow. They do have approximately 30 plus games so a bit easier to take hits early in the year unlike football. But sometimes you’re not getting the best 4 football teams in the nation. Something to be said about both avenues. The ability to remain near perfect through a whole season is outstanding. The ability to grow and improve within a season is also outstanding. So with football I’m a bit on the fence. They’re are football teams you do not want to play at the end of the year and because they lost a game or three you don’t have to. Not true in basketball.

Mossback · Mar 18, 2023

Go Zags !!!!

Brute · Mar 18, 2023

Ok…I always root for the Zags…but I’m trying to be low key about it so maybe they’ll make it to the big game…

Coach Potter · Mar 18, 2023

Turns out the Big 10 wasn’t all that awesome...6 of the 8 teams gone.

Well that didn't play well....bummer. if it makes you feel better, I had Duke over Houston in the final....

I have always looked forward to March Madness a lot. One of the best couple of weeks every year where teams compete and, in many cases, exceed their 'understood' potential. Players step up and learn one of life's lessons ---> you can do better if you put your mind to it.... Players working as a team are much better than individual performances. Coaches show their true colors and skills by supporting/encouraging/guiding/developing game plans so that can happen.

It just does get any better than that IMHO...
