So--how's your all's brackets lookin' today?

Who'd'a thunk 3 11-seeds and a 14-seed would advance? And 4-seed Kansas barely survived a scrappy Samford team. Yeah, March.

But yeah, March. Things can go south in a heartbeat.

I don’t recall a year that started out with so many upsets. March madness indeed.

Clemson today. If that comes through, maybe in not too bad of shape. I had Nevada and they melted down and blew a big lead. That one would have been nice.

Missed the Kentucky upset, but probably almost everyone did. Two bad upset calls; I had Samford and McNeese winning.

My bracket is ok, though not great. Like almost everyone, I missed Oakland over Kentucky. I had Kentucky losing in the round of 32.

I also had Samford upsetting Kansas. The bad foul call at the end was heartbreaking.

I expect my bracket will fall apart today.

As long as John Calipari is coaching Kentucky, expect an early elimination. He is past his prime. Kentucky fans are devastated today, but tomorrow, we’ll be ANGRY! It is time for Cal to retire!

Only Cal can bust the first round of the NCAA tournament with two top five draft picks, a consensus all American and at least three other probable NBA picks. WTF

Yeah, they can shoot the lights out, can handle the ball well, etc., but at the other end of the floor, they're at sea. Just my totally amateur uninformed view of things. When a 14-seed can score 80 points on 'em, something's amiss......
My Jayhawks seem to have the same problem. A 13-seed lit 'em up for 89 points, and burned through a 21-point second-half lead. It was crazy--the only thing that saved them was that Samford couldn't outmuscle Hunter Dickinson.

I have Illinois beating UCon and Purdue beating the No. 5 Bulldogs, both advancing to the final 4. I have Purdue with their giant Edey winning it all, but my heart is for Illinois.
