2025 March Madness

Hmm…Nations League on an obscure streamer/Univision or March Madness aka Christmas in March??

I’ve got Houston cutting down the nets (1 year in the Big 12 and my allegiance has shifted). I love how Arizona has gone from being a finesse team to very physical, but being a 4 seed means a possible game versus Duke in Sweet 16.

Biggest complaint I had about bids was Texas (whom Xavier beat in play-in game last night) & Oklahoma going 6-12 in SEC and getting in…I get it SEC controls the NCAA (not vice versa), but 14 bids is a joke.

 

@jumpkutz Sorry James, everybody loved Louisville playing in Lexington, but I hated the matchup. Creighton might be the most underrated program in America. Super well coached and a bunch of guys used to winning games in March (5th year in a row winning at least one game in the tourney).

 

The one time of year I pay attention to basketball, but it always delivers! This year I ended up having my two least favorite college teams as my pick for the final - Florida vs. Duke. At first I was disgusted with myself, but then I figured it is a win-win situation. If one of them falls out early I'll be happy about that. If one makes it to the final I'll be happy I got the call right!

Hey! I picked Drake to beat Missouri! Whoo hoo! In other news, a blind squirrel found a nut.

 

Considering I come from an Auburn family, I probably should be paying more attention but I haven’t watched 10 seconds of basketball this year. I did fill out a bracket about 35 minutes before the first game on Thursday though.

I picked Drake and McNeese!
I also picked Memphis to get to the Elite 8.

Oh well.
