What an entertaining first 4 days of basketball. I watched quite a bit of it. Some great games and huge upsets. Does not get much better. I am currently doing well in my brackets too. In my $10 pool I am in 3rd place out of 30 entries. In my $20 pool I am in 2nd place out of 8 entries. In my $25 pool I am in 1st place out of 21 entries. I still have my champion and 3 of my final 4 alive. Of course that can all fall apart in an instant so we'll what next weekend brings.
This might be the best i've ever done. All 4 of my final four remain (can't recall that ever happening), have missed only 5 of the sweet 16. (most of those are in the east), and have a perfect bracket in the west after the first weekend. I expect a slaughter next week. lol

^ They do look the best so far. Of course, the trick is playing that way every game. Certainly have the best odds, though.

The South was also my worst. I did not have MSU getting past Marquette, but since they are now the lowest seed left I can root for them as a homeboy (my father went to Michigan State so we grew up green and white in our house) for the next few games. I don't see them getting past Alabama, who I have as champion, but they are really playing well at the moment. Interesting that you picked Xavier. They are also playing really well, although I don't have them getting past Texas. Should be another entertaining weekend.
Never pick Purdue to win anything. Have lost to 3 double digit seeds last three years I believe.
Purdue is a mystery, for sure, and I would think Matt Painter's seat would be getting uncomfortably warm. But the same problem exists throughout the B1G - teams that show well during the regular season and fail to make a mark in March. There is so much parity in the conference that teams spend two months beating up on each other and it's rare that one rises above the rest anymore. And because the conference always fades at tournament time, they will continue to suck hind tit in recruiting to teams from the other power conferences. I don't think expansion will help, either.

Happy with what I have to be happy with.
My understanding is that they'll be "full" members, so FB, BB, and probably all the other major sports as well. How that will translate into action in terms of divisions and scheduling I have no idea, and may still be undecided.
Izzo is one of the last of the great NCAA men's coaches left. He knows the game and all of his opponents, and inspires his players by giving them the credit for success and taking blame for failure on himself. I never bet against him this time of year.

What a great game last night between MSU and KSU! Sorry to see the Spartans lose, but it'll be fun to follow that kid Marquis Nowell as KSU continues; he's something else.
Tonight, if you aren't occupied with a particular men's game, I would highly recommend watching the Iowa/Colorado women's matchup. Caitlin Clark is special, and she has a great team surrounding her.

I caught the last minute and forty two seconds of the UCLA and Gonzaga game. It went from UCLA down eight to up by one with 12 seconds to losing by two with one point one seconds left. The guy took a three pointer from the S on the writing at center court. Gonzaga missed three or four foul shots in the last minute which would have probably iced the game.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
KSU/MSU was an offensive game. FAU took out TN, which has battled AL well during the year. Let’s see how Florida Atlantic U handles KSU.
Hooray for San Diego State. I’ve never been so happy to see a team lose, after that technical.
Holy shit......I went from being in the top 3 or better in all 4 of my brackets to having literally no one left all in the course of a couple of hours. Brackets officially busted........
^ Yeah, good god. All four of my final four out as well.
And a pretty mad elite 8...zero 1s, one 2, two 5s, and a nine!
