A Sea Of Red

Anyone from UCLA to UCONN or from St Mary’s to Kennedy’s St could win this year. Absolute chaos with huge early upsets!



Which means the FF will be chalk

I only was able to watch the two games that mattered in our house: UT and A&M. But the upsets were rampant on day one. Can't wait to see what goes down today.

I was disappointed that the Snake-Handling-Head-Slapping-Healers from Tulsa got beat by the Dookies last night. Tonight I'll be rooting for that online diploma mill fake school from Phoenix and maybe that public school in Richmond. Oh, and I'll be hoping that Kenny State gets steamrolled. Like the ASUCk, I'll reseed for the Round of 32.

UVA has company

F-D-U!!!

From the college basketball thread earlier in the year. Off by a couple of rounds, but the idea was there.

But UVA will always be the first #1 seed to lose to a 16.

Remember when I said UConn looked like the best team in the country?

Through three games, their average margin of victory is over 20 points

I was trying to remember who said that. You are certainly being proven right so far
Tennessee makes me sore after watching them. They bump and push and hold……and get away with it. It’s like watching New York Knick basketball in the 90’s

I knew you’d be back.

I put them in my final four. It’s still Bama’s tourney to lose.

Apparently while bumping and pushing and holding they forgot they also need to be able to shoot the ball. Glad to see them go down.

Unabashed Rick Barnes fan checking in. But I agree that was ugly basketball.

Remind me what happened when they played head to head this year

Much like the Knicks of the 90’s

He’s the perfect basketball coach for a football team

Should have worried about the actual shooter as opposed to firing a cheap shot

And they quickly show themselves the door..

When was the last Final Four with no #1 seeds?

never been an elite eight without 1 seeds

2011. Guess who won, I bet @JK37 knows the answer

I’m curious about this too. We are quickly headed in that direction.

I like Jim Calhoun. I like Kemba Walker. I picked UConn in my final four this year. I like Geno and Diana. They’re in my final four there too.

But every UConn fan I’ve ever known is a complete tool. We get it: they play great basketball in the Nutmeg State. What is this inferiority complex all of them seem to have?

You said there has never been an Elite 8 without #1 seeds. So that would mean never a Final Four without one

Re-think that PH.
There's a possibility we will have an elite 8 without a 1 or a 2 seed.
